The guys at the bar here said they would like a third presidential option. They don’t like either choice here. So I asked, “Who would you like to be running for president?” No specifics. They just said the more, the better… Just like beer, I guess.

As Jamie pointed out in an earlier post on The Platform, this campaign has moved to an ugly stage — with Sarah Palin being especially nasty on the stump.

None of that so far in this debate — which is not half over. 45 mins to go.

Cap and trade is bankrupting countries that have implemented it, it is nothing more than a tax on business.

Obama misspoke…. said the computer was invented by govt scientists for defense communications purposes…. He obviously meant to say the Internet….

Brokaw seems intent on keeping time, just shut up and let them go at it.

I would love to hear either one of these guys make a single statement that shows that they understand and support free markets principles. The both sound like disciples of Carl Marx. It take enormous hubris and ignorance of history to think you are capable of planning an economy

McCain suddenly understands economics?

Why does Mcain seem to always be a know it all and talk down to the public? Mcain is an opportunistic person. I thought he almost flunked out of the Naval Academy, since when did he become an economist, he should go back to school as his ideas won’t work it has been proven over time.

This is pretty much all just showmanship and general rhetoric.
The economic solution is simple, as is the cause. We have been throwing too much American dollars overseas and to the war. Make a commitment to not spend anymore overseas until we get our ship right and it will be righted quickly. It is amazing that it just hasn’t been laid out as simple as that.

This is the third debate (2nd pres, 1 VP), we are over half way through it, and still no questions or comments on guns and abortion…….
