Senator McCain’s contempt for Senator Obama’s very presence on this election’s stage with him is clearly boiling over.
McCain refuses to shake Obama’s hand
This is a man that hates losing. The lower he drops in the polls the more you’ll see this.
Overall I was disappointed in the debate. I didn’t think the modified “town hall” format worked. I would like to see a face-to-face debate with free-form discussion between the candidates. Enough with the ads, and enough with the debate formats that are really just modifications of the same, tired format that is really more like a joint press conference than a debate. Let’s have an in-the-open public discussion of these important issues with lots of time for responding to everything.
I will say I thought Obama performed well while McCain came off as an annoyed, grumpy old man yelling at Obama to get off his lawn. I don’t think either candidate necessarily “won” but Obama looked more comfortable.
Also, I was seriously creeped out by Senator McCain’s repeated use of the word “goodies”
Rep. Dennis Kucinich addresses the DNC
(UPDATE: Apparently, this line was edited from Kucinich’s speech: “They’re asking for another four years — in a just world, they’d get 10 to 20.” — They should have left that in.)
The first actual animated, fired-up speech of the Convention so far. It has been mostly dull, though Michelle Obama gave a great speech and her and the Senator’s little girls stole the show last night.
Barry Schweitzer was great as well.
Sen. Clinton did very well, too and gained some ground as far as regaining my respect for her, but I don’t expect it to change anything regarding her supporters taking their ball and going home and not supporting Sen. Obama. I do think that she made every effort in this speech to persuade those who could be persuaded. As for the rest, well if they are willing to support Sen. McCain when he is directly opposed to everything their candidate stood for when she was in the race, then not even she can change their minds. The PUMA crowd is already hunting for non-existent signals in her speech tonight indicating that she really sides with them and wants them to keep fighting. It is pathetic.
I hope the MSM will now shut up about the “angry Clinton supporters” and let them fade away. Every comment made about percentages of her supports saying this or that, and every interview with someone willing to cut off their nose to spite their face on this issue only adds fuel to the fire.

It’s important that people understand that opening up these areas to production will do little to nothing to reduce our gas prices, and we’re talking several years down the line regardless. The oil companies already have access to acres and acres of drillable land and sea that they aren’t using. Why not force them to produce on those areas if we’re so concerned about drilling “now” and “here.”
We need more effort towards renewable energy. Let’s see the GOP stage a congressional sit-in for that one. I’m sure their buddies at ExxonMobil should have no problem with that. I mean they want to stop the “war on the poor,” right?
More than that, we need leaders who will lead. America has spent too much time being told what it needs to hear and misled down these dangerous paths… How about a little truth in government for a change?
Barack Obama Addresses HQ Staff
