McCain has become Rush Limbaugh tonight. ACORN, Ayers, everything.
9:37PM
McCain looks stunned and creepy.
9:40PM
Obama: Ayers has become a central part of McCain's campaign. Nice.
9:40PM
Obama's Ayers explanation was superb. It's just a shame that this is even a topic of debate. Thanks, McCain!
9:41PM
I'm glad that Obama didn't bring up McCain's associations (Liddy, AIP, etc). By contrast, it made McCain seem petty, desperate and crotchety.
9:43PM
McCain's Palin remarks are flatlining with women on the CNN ticker. But the men are cranking their dials. Weird.
9:54PM
Going back to the "kill me" remarks. Did McCain play a veteran card in order to defend the crazies -- who, by the way, are being investigated by the Secret Service?
9:55PM
How on Earth can Angry McCain help McCain?
9:57PM
Indidentally, it's true. 100 percent of McCain's ads have been negative.
10PM
Joe the Plumber can bite me. And Senator Obama is right -- small businesses will NOT be penalized for not providing health insurance. Sorry, Magoo. You've done it again.
10:09PM
Senator Government?
10:05PM
McCain doesn't think there's an inherent privacy right implied in the Constitution. Illegal searches and seizures, for instance. Not in the Constitution in Angry McCain's world.
10:11PM
Here we go. McCain hits the infanticide attack. Unbelievable. McCain's line on CNN is tanking. Men are spiking. I say the men in this dial group have to adopt all of the unwanted babies in America. Good luck, fellas!
10:13PM
McCain just did a simultaneous lizard lick and eye-roll.
10:14PM
McCain loves doing the quote-fingers.
10:16PM
Obama: nobody is pro-abortion. Right on!
10:17PM
Here's the expression on McCain's face all damn night:
10:27PM
This has certainly been the most chaotic debate, but that's absolutely not a good thing. There's enough mayhem in the world right now -- I seriously don't think anyone's looking for more batshit craziness in the White House. Definitely not Angry McCain. ROOOWWRR!
10:35PM
Rachel had a great point that I missed while fighting with the blog. McCain belittled the health exception on abortion? Are you kidding me?!
10:39PM
Stretch is such a hack.
10:45PM
The CNN Night of A Thousand Pundits is perhaps the most ridiculous thing I've seen on that network. It's like the intro to the Muppet Show where all of the muppets appear at once.
10:50PM
The MSNBC focus group hated the McCain Ayers stuff. Even the Republicans. Whoops!
10:53PM
I always find it staggering how pundits can latch onto Gore's sighing and Bush 41's watch-looking, and yet they're completely ignoring McCain's petulant rolling-eyes and smirking -- especially with this on-going McCain Is An Angry Spaz narrative.
11:03PM
CBS Debate Poll... Who won? Obama 53, Tie 24, McCain 22.
11:23PM
CNN Snap Poll... Obama 53, McCain 31. I think we can read this several ways, but mainly it's clear that Americans are done with spazzy, smirking ideologues.
