We’ll see how this works out.  I’m going to try to do a running commentary on the first presidential debate.

I’m watching the talking heads on FNC and it’s 8:53.  Carl Cameron, who my cousin-in-law says is a really super nice guy, is talking, and the noise is coming out of his head.  So far, about as expected.

The format may be McCain’s ace-in-the hole as it gives him a chance to show that he can think on his feet.

The Kennedy medical issue will be mentioned early on, no doubt.  I bet McCain tries to mention it first.  He gets 3 points if he does.

It kinda stinks, don’t you think, that these thinks are defined more by who is funnier?

Okay, time to kick off.

Two podiums.  Where are the candidates?

9:01…”Good evening…”

9 minute segments.

I say a prayer: God, may Your will be done.

First response come from Obama.  Wall Street…Main Street…trying to connect with the common man.  “I’ve put together several proposals”.  [I wonder what they are?]  Gotta make sure the money doesn’t pad the pockets of blah blah blah.   Failure of 8 years of Bush years.

McCain…YES, mentioned Kennedy right away.  [Maybe I should be a political consultant.]  Establishing himself as bi-partisan.  Where is he going?   I’m confused… “This is not the beginning of the end, this is the end of the beginning.”

You know, I can’t watch & type at the same time.  I hope you like my analysis of the first 9 1/2 minutes of the debate.
