  • Ann Althouse & Hugh Hewitt live-blogging & load just fine; NRO’s The Corner & Campaign Spot won’t load #

  • @Scobleizer, re: John Culberson’s nay vote: when will Dems who opposed reform answer for that? Or for the mods to CRA that led to this? #
  • @scobleizer, I understand the reason for bailout - not happy with the one we got - angry how we got here #
  • 95 Dems voted against the now failed bailout bill - Mme Speaker couldn’t wrangle her own partymembers #
  • @davewiner, why couldn’t Mme Speaker get the bill passed along party lines? She lost 1/3 of her caucus to nay votes #
  • @lesliecarbone - Mme Speaker couldn’t wrangle her own caucus — & GOP is in disarray? Hmph. #

  • @lileks, if I could be convinced that transporters worked & didn’t separate you from your soul, I’d use one to get from here to there #
  • @lileks, but for going nowhere in particular slowly, a train pulled by a steam engine is hard to beat… #

  • Just clicked in to the debate: financial crisis, not foreign policy. #
  • Hrm: both McCain & Obama talk like the president has a line item veto on spending bills. #
  • #debate08, OK: I’m no fan of earmarks, but repeating how much Obamarama earmarked gets wearying #
  • #debate08, Obamarama says US businesses pay effectively one of the lowest tax rates…!? #
  • #debate08, gaaah! Obama wants to make college affordable for all children! No no no! Make it HARDER to get into college. #
  • #debate08, everybody does NOT need to attend college. Plumbers! Electricians! Mechanics! Lots of kids are ill suited 4 college #
  • #debate08, Obamarama is dropping his g’s — is that supposed to be endearing or folksy? #
  • #debate08, McCain: spending freeze!?! #
  • #debate08, Obamaram: increase spending on early childhood education? Gaah. Kids should be with their family preK. Teach the parents. #
  • #debate08, McCain keeps saying “many many years” to highlight his experience… #
  • #debate08, neither is willing to specify programs to drop because of the $700b bailout #
  • #debate08, Obamarama blames Washington spending spree on Pres Bush; what, Congress didn’t vote on the budget bills? #
  • #debate08, “I’m a maverick” has gone stale #
  • #debate08, Obamarama goes back to “I opposed the war” instead of answering the question — still says nothing good from Iraq #
  • #debate08, Obamarama keeps harping on the Iraqi govt surplus — the $$ isn’t equivalent to troop presence, not comparable #
  • #debate08, hah! McCain caught Obamarama on the difference between tactic & strategy. Heh. #
  • #debate08, Obamarama doesn’t present himself as understanding the situation in Waziristan & the border area btw Pakistan & Afghanistan #
  • #debate08, McCain presents himself as much more knowledgeable on the area #
  • #debate08, Obamarama restates that he would take out OBL on Pakistani soil w/wo Pakistani permission #
  • #debate08, *coddled* Musharref?!? LOST legitimacy in Pakistan?!? He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. #
  • #debate08, gaah! battle of the bracelets! decisions of war & peace should not be based on sentiment #
  • #debate08, nuclear Iran an existential threat to Israel, destabilizing to region #
  • #debate08, McCain: “league of democracies” to impose sanctios on Iran - outside the United Nations to get around Russia #
  • #debate08, finally audience reaction to McCain’s restatement of Obama’s talking with Ahmadinejad #
  • Just submitted bid letter to new client #
  • @jaysolo, the strike tag has been deprecated by the W3 folks as of HTML 4.01 and is not supported in XHTML 1.0 Strict DTD #

  • #rnc08 interesting - “tough times” brings out chant of “USA!” #
  • #rnc08 “government stand on your side, not in your way” — yes #

  • #rnc - Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle makes mention of Palin’s grandchild on the way grandchild on the way — Lingle is delivering single sentence #

  • Fred Thompson up now — hope he gives a rip-snorter #rnc08 #
  • If Fred Thompson had campaigned as forcefully for HIMSELF as he now speaks for McCain-Palin… the “teleprompter speech” line drew blood #
  • @wbaustin - re: 9/11 comment storm: think people got tired of hearing abt the English burning Washington, DC in the War of 1812? ;-) #
