8:05 - McCain avoids answering the quick steps question from Alan.
8:06 - Guess McCain didn't get the memo about EBay's layoffs.
8:07 - Obama's avoids directly answering Treasury Secretary question (which is a BS question)
8:10 - Oh yes, the campaign "suspension." Shouldn't he be pretending like that little gimmick never happened?
8:10 - Cronies? Um, doesn't McCain have more connections to Freddie/Fannie than Barack?
8:11 - Hey, Obama answers Oliver's question. Oh wait, no he doesn't.
8:14 - McCain is pocket-sized. His little feet are pretty much dangling.
8:18-i think mccain just walked off stage. oh, he's back now. whew.
8:20- i think mccain is getting winded walking around stage. maybe he's getting hits on an oxygen tank behind section f.
8:23- joe lieberman is NOT working across the aisle.
8:24--oh lordy, mccain had to write down the 3 priorities before giving his answer. man, he is old.
8:25--obama always answers the question directly, with clear answers and a sense that there is a plan already being put into place. unlike mccain, who just fires off a bunch of different activities that may or may not have a real impact on people's lives.
8:27 - Question on call to service- Obama reminds us that Bush told everyone after 9/11 to help their country by shopping. Considering the current economic sitch, seems that encouraging people to "buy buy buy" was maybe not the best call.
8:30 -- Obama finally provides context to earmarks $18 billion is not that big a deal in the scheme of things. All contribute, all make sacrifices.
8:32 - MMM jello on a wall.
8:35 - The straight talk express lost a wheel - nice zinger. Good to see some fire in the belly.
8:42- everytime mccain says "my friends" the cnn tracking line takes a dip. just like my patience.
8:42--stanley is moving in on daisy. daisy is acting unconcerned.
8:46--bridget is getting worked up. she said that brokaw only goes after mccain and obama for going past their allotted minutes after obama speaks. making it look like obama is the only one talking too long. i think the big loser here is brokaw, who's definitely a big whiner tonight.

Yay, you're there! I was worried.
Poor McCain, he really does look and move like a resident of Middle Earth.
I'm sitting here in the airport listening to two traveling sales people bitching about being taxed too much because they make money. But, I think one of them is saying that Obama would be better for the economy (And then he said after you're president, you don't have to pay taxes anymore. Huh?).
McCain punts every time anyone asks for specifics. "Which program would you prioritize?" "Well, I think they're all important." "Which programs would you cut?" "Well, I think we can look at all government programs for efficiencies." Maybe Sarah was accurately following campaign talking points by saying that she reads all magazines and newspapers.
Ooooh, gloves off, McCain just called Obama "the black Hoover." Damn!
McCain just called for a commission of the smartest people in the country to solve the Medicare pickle. Pack your bags, Penny and George, that means you!
First of all, are either of them talking about health care being treated as a commodity? Second, what the hell does treating health care like a commodity mean? Did I miss something?
