The debate last night.
With an old man wheezing and huffing, it was clear that the expectations from Mr. McCain were going to be low. When he opened his mouth, his arguments were weak and uninspired. Add to that his angry pacing around his chair whenever Obama spoke, and you have a clear picture of how the debate went.

Watched only the first 15 minutes--long enough to hear McCain talk about Obama's "cronies" (Obama has cronies?? well, at least they're not "homeboys"....)

McCain is like an old rooster who lost its role over the henhouse because there is a younger one.
Something positive to start the day: Indiana, not so hopeless after all!!
