It’s possible, but I’m not even going to begin to try to predict at this point.

Less than a week to go and it still feels as though the worst has yet to come.

I did not see the debate, but after skimming through the mountains of outrage of ABC’s conduct of same, I think this might work to Obama’s advantage. Any sense that Obama did not handle the questions as well as he could have are probably overcome by the sense that Stephanopoulos and Gibson made asses of themselves and treated both candidates and their audience as if they were complete idiots.

And check out this miserable coverage:

We expect this sort of shoddy crap from Gibson and his ilk, but I would like to see better from the NYT.

This is an excellent opportunity to write to your local paper, to the NYT, and to ABC, and let them know that we’re sick of this shit - and highlight it by bringing up the truly massive story of the decade, that the VP and our highest officials met in a secret conclave to specifically condone torture. It is up to us to make sure that story receives every bit of light it deserves.

In some ways I’m hopeful that this sort of nonsense just isn’t going to work this year. I’m hopeful that people aren’t willing to be dragged down to this level. Things have just got too bad in this country. I think all Obama has to do is keep on with what he said at one point in tonight’s debate (I’m paraphrasing off the top of my head so…) “The idea that I should be responsible for the things that everyone I know says or does is ridiculous.” And that is it you know with Ayers, Wright, Rezco.. It’s all about people he knows. And then with “bitter” it’s all about taking one thing he said and taking it wildly out context. He has to keep talking about the issues - I am hopeful that this year people will respond to that. That he has the core likability to make that work combined with the hard times in the country and the sickness of 8 years of Bush…

Hell of a good point. I never thought I would see the day when I would agree with Jonah ‘the walking Godwin Alert’ Goldberg. What a travesty. And of course our friend Taylor is gleeful.
