Why have a moderator, anyway? Get some guy off the assembly line (they still have them in Tennessee) with a bell and a bad attitude. "C-can I just respond to Senator McCain? He was..." DING! "Tahm's up." "But.." DING! "Don't make me tell ya agin, Mister O-bama"
The debates are irrelevant at this point. The MSM has managed to corrupt even the Townhall debate format, with Tom Brokaw being the final arbiter of the questions. "Hmmm, this is a question I would ask..." Well, then it's not a stinkin' townhall debate, is it? The people are just cover for the same old questions being asked. McCain at least took the economic questions by the throat, and won the first part of the debate. I'm not sure that either one made their health plans clear, but that tie goes to Obama, since he's the Democrat- they know more about giving away money. And foreign policy! The questions seemed chosen to neuter by repetition any advantage McCain has on foreign policy. By picking the same questions asked and answered at the last debate, Brokaw, intentionally or not, ensured the last half hour of the debate, on McCain's turf, was a yawnfest. Ask them what they're going to do about China! Ask them what they're going to do about the rise of Islamism in Asia! Asking them about the court ordered release of Chinese terrorists into the United States from Gitmo! Not another question about Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, with a guarantee of the same answers!
This election is about what it's always been about- Barack Hussein Obama. All else is so much buzz in the ether. McCain can win, ad I think there's plenty of time to do it. Paint the picture of Obama, don't let a sketch be his public image. Show every dirty deal, every rotten association, every illegal contribution, every false voter registration, and every backroom backscratch. Poke a hole in him and let his true nature pour out like cheap candy from a Pinata.
