Am I mishearing, or did McCain misidentify the AA questionner?

I could've sworn that he referred to the black man (whom he condescended to re: Freddie Mac etc.) as "Alan," though his name was, I believe, Oliver. Did I mishear? I know Obama called the guy "Oliver."

Not a huge deal but it doesn't help McCain's image to forget the first speaker's name.

1. Not only that, he assumed the guy had never heard of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac

it could have been worse, I suppose: McLoser could've said "Bernie Mac" :dunce:

2. I don't recall him addressing him by name at all.

He didn't name the African American woman by name either.

3. He concluded by answering back to the previous white guy. nt

4. I caught that, too - I think you're right.

The first questioner, an older white guy, was Alan.

5. Ah, so he was referring to the first speaker, then?

I missed the first question, so I didn't catch the guy's name; plus, I was just listening to the debate, not watching it. So at the time he said "Alan," he was intentionally referring to the first guy? That's not so bad, then.
