- OH HO HO: “The debate is on,” a senior Obama campaign official tells ABC News. Jeebus! This is getting so sexy so quickly. Obama will somehow end up debating Michael Steele for eight hours tomorrow. [ABC News]
DEBATE
PWND!
Sexy.
Fuck yeah
I’m glad Barry’s sticking to it, I just spent a shitload of money on hard alcohol.
NObama doesn’t care about the economy.
i can haz dbait!!!!!111!! Dbait iz gud fer drinkinz!
Bring it! I love me some Barry so very much right now. If he backs down I may actually cry a little.
Goddamn right it’s on. Don’t we deserve a president who can think of more than one thing at a time, John?
If McCain’s not feeling up to it, I’m sure Nader would happily take his place.
Yay! I thought my party was gonna be ruint.
If anyone can lose a debate against no one, it is the democrats.
Mancrush.
…can he look anymore desperate?
“Rascals!”
-John McCain
I do actual work for an hour and seriously, I miss everything.
This is worse than trying to get a long-distance boyfriend to commit to a weekend get together. Sheesh. Obama just wants to have some fun, not propose marriage, fergawdsakes!
it’s amazing how you can campaign and work on stuff in D.C. if you have a webcam and know how to use the interwebs.
YES! Total win, Barry. Just by showing up.
Oh, it’s on, it’s on like Gray Poupon!
Oh baby
McCain’s so fucked. The National Security debate was his best shot at taking down Obama. What cards does he have left to play?
Party’s back on!!!
Excellent! After all, there is always more than one thing going on.
All I want is a press release from Barry that says “You go be a Senator, John. I’ll be in Mississippi on Friday, being a president.”
McFlipFlop!!!!!!!!!!!!
spencer:
All Barry has to do is answer every question with “I’m afraid that’s above my pay grade.”
But I’m confident he’ll make us proud. Go Barry!
He’s already backing down! CNN said that the rumor is that McCain is saying that if a vote can be put together on Friday, he’ll still debate.
Backlash. It’s a beautiful thing.
Send in your ready-to-lead running mate Governor Palin, Mac!
spencer: One can only hope he doesn’t say anything when he shows up. Speaking is a bad strategy for the DNC.
(picturing Barry showing up alone with a big Flav O Flav clock around his neck and gold plated teeth going “Yeahh Boyyyy - where is him at”.)
Yes! FTW! Barry goes all, “Oh, it’s on motherf—er, it is most certainly on!”
Win
sanantonerose: EXCELLENT ANALOGY.
And now I’m sad…
It better be on. I already bought everything needed to make red, white, and blue cupcakes.
The Obama campaign better come out with a pretty strong, assertive response and quickly lest they look like petulant grandchildren disobeying grandpa.
spencer: Agreed.
Hey! Did something happen? I just woke up from my regularly scheduled afternoon nap….
I hope McCain gets real crotchety the night of the debate and it turns into Sourpussfest 2008. Whenever Jim Lehrer asks him a question McCain is going to tell him to read his books.
Cogito Ergo Bibo: And thank god for the internet so this backlash can be so sweet and quick!
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any more Chauncey Gardner…
a terminal moment of weakness for MCain! he saw the polls with O-man up 9 points, and knows that when the debate doesnt go well for him it is game over!
praise JEEBUS!
erymanthian bore:
No. Go back to sleep. We will wake you when Hillary rules the world.
This is such a blantant political stunt. Suspend your fucking campaign. Concede. Do whatever you fucking want to. Twit.
Cogito Ergo Bibo: Too bad he’ll be dodging bullets in Mississippi. That’s where this one is, right? My version of the facts are telling the truth, yes?
Tawmn: I like to watch….
magic titty: Yup. Mississippi. Even if the only person there is Barry making fun of an empty podium.
Wait a fucking minute….Tucker (hypnotic state) Bounds said this morning that McCain knows how to fix the economy. I believe he called it a “plan.” So what is the deal? If he knows how to fix it, fix it and move on to the debate. I need my snarky Maddow and Olbermann on Friday!
ReverendGreen: Amen, Reverend.
“Oh Mr. Magoo, you’ve done it again!”
Cogito Ergo Bibo: Oh, so: “If my buddies can shove through the total rape of the U.S. Treasury for my other buddies nice and quick, I’ll debate my enemy…”
Itsjustme:
He knows how to fix the economy the same way he knows how to win wars (see: Vietnam) and catch Osama Bin Ladin.
The Univ of MS also says the debate is going forward.
Walnuts’s internal polling must SUCK right about now.
“So these are going to be tough debates my friends, but I believe on the substance, on the substance I can convince the American people that I can keep reform government restore prosperity and keep peace.” - John McCain 9/23. So the substantative nature of the debates makes them important. We should really call them off.
McCain’s camp decided they wanted to postpone the debate after McCain kept falling for Michael Steele’s “A Honky says what?” strategy.
Why not go all the way and suspend the election itself?? After all, there’s still some stuff the neocons haven’t stolen from us yet.
BTW, new CNN Poll shows Obama widening leads in CO, MI, PA and WEST VIRGINIA!!
par-TAY!!
Cogito Ergo Bibo: Mm hmm. They call it ‘playin’ the dozens’.
Cogito Ergo Bibo: Clearly taking ‘good’ advice from moosilini here - if you don’t know what to do, float some deniable statement out there and see what happens (then try to fire everyone). Hey it worked for the Wasilla public library, why wouldn’t it work for $700billion?
Do you think Barry got where he is today by just handing out extensions? I don’t think so!
I wouldn’t have liked to have been in his law class…
Hopey should challenge McCain to 12 townhall meetings between now and Friday. If McCain balks, then by McCain’s own logic, Hopey can put sugar in the straight talk express gas tank (as a way of affirming his support of crop based fuels ?), shave one of McCain’s eyebrows while he naps and hijack Palin’s teleprompter so she goes back to pronouncing it nucular and also confesses that she’s in the tank for Nader.
This brings to mind that 3:00 am phone call thing. Let it ring until you can clear your schedule or deal with it now, keep your head and keep doing your job…
