Who Won The Debate?

McCain won by virtue of showing up and not imploding. Although it was his to lose because Foreign Affairs was, by all accounts, his area of expertise.

Obama won simply by showing himself to ” appear Presidential”

But the general consensus, by everyone not employed/deployed to a spin room was that no one was the clear victor.

Which is to say, I suppose, that neither of them won over any of the illusive Independent voters. “Winning” seems to be reduced to whichever candidate had the most quotable soundbite (because, of course, all I want from my candidate is terse pith).

I’m Sick Of The Main Stream Media!

I cannot stand this ‘Henny-Penny/Chicken-Little’ Attitude with the media lately.

The sky is not falling and the world is not going to hell in a handbasket.

But we are lead to believe it day in and day out.

Case(s) In Point:

• For 18 months we have heard that we are in a recession. All Economic indicators have proven that the economy has actually gained traction and has not even been flat-lining in the last 12 month. We have gained ground. We have earned money. We are not technically in a recession. Yes, you may feel a pinch, gas has gone up and groceries have gone up. But our national economy and all of us who pay money into it have not lost money.
• Foreclosures are Up.Totally true. But according to the news media, everyone is losing their home. Absolutely not true. In the last 5 fiscal quarters, sub-prime mortgages going into foreclosure have increased 3 percent. All other mortgage foreclosure rates have increased one half a percentage point.
• Lehman Brothers, a blue chip, stalwart organization has gone to ruin. Lehman Brothers was bought out years ago, 2 guys left to become billionaires, another got the name after AmEx sold it to him. It is a 14 year company with a 158 year old name.

Next VP Candidate

BREAKING NEWS: One of the Vice Presidential candidates will recuse him/herself this week!

I have it on good authority that early this week there will be a shake-up in the vice presidential race. It is the October Surprise that we’ve all come to expect.

 Following Palin’s tragic interview with Katie Couric and the McCain camp refusing to allow her to show up (or spin) at the Presidential debate last Friday, and Sen. Joe Biden’s gaffes of insisting FDR was not only president during the stock market crash of 1929 but, that he also appeared on television to reassure Americans; Americans are demanding a different Vice Presidential candidate. 

One of the candidates will  back out. We have reliable information on who will be replaced and who that replacement will be.
