McCain's experience in dealing with financial crisis: THE KEATING FIVE!
The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Repeat as often as necessary.

Also, Obama should say, "john, it was nice of you to show up at the debate"

4. Obama spoke eloquently and in depth about complex issues.
McSame did not.

McSame did not offer any ANY fucking specifics. He appeared frustrated and filled with disdain. Obama did not.

What counts is who appeared more presidential.

The lies McBush told will all be sorted out, it's not Obama's job to do that.

7. We need to remember to look at this thing like ordinary americans
might, and not like politically savvy bloggers.

I'd have liked Obama to use harsher language, but the question is, how would've that played with ordinary americans? I cheer for that shit as a DU'er, but I doubt it would have the same effect on our alzheimered electorate.
