nashville nastiness
here it is: the live blog thread for tonight. 9:00 PM eastern time. please come. feel free to post thoughts, reactions, etc.
"senator obama's secret that you don't know." seriously? who is this guy? "senator obama's secret that you don't know" is that he's black!!!!! and muslim!!!!
will someone take a timeout and explain to me how only a few small businesses make $250,000 or more? that doesn't seem right, and it is one question i have for obama
can't drill our way out paul, but do need to step that up as part of the solution until the other things are developed and able to be used by the masses
darin: agreed. i'm not against drilling offshore. but there are those politicians that describe it as a talisman to bring down prices. those drilling will add drops to the bucket and will sell abroad anyway.

on my way home now. Just getting on the subway. Start without me. Oh. You already did.
just got out of subway. Need live updates.
it begins. they are sitting in awkward positions in their chairs.
first question.
with economy in a downturn and seniors losing their retirement. what's the fastest way to fix it?
obama gives an awkward thanks.
obama calls this the worst downturn since the great depression.
he ties it to de-regulation of the bush years.
sorry o-man, dems are just as much to blame.
nice comprehensive answer from barack.
giving steps.
crack down on CEOs.
calling for tax cuts for middle class.
provide work in a 'new deal' style.
mccain. smug.
'i have a plan'
energy independence.
hey darin.
you're right.
cnn hd for me.
mccain speaking on mortgage values.
interesting. he wants renegotiation of home mortgages in america.
okay. i'm on. cnn hd for me too.
mccain was strong in this answer. his looking eye to eye was great.
did mccain really just suggest that we buy up bad mortgages? Where's he going to get that money?
oh look. the old dinosaur looking man is funny!
tom and john are buddies.
mccain is certainly being nicer to obama.
meg is mormon.
ebay just laid off 10% of their workforce...
tom and john are both old.
buffet would be sweet
obama gives a shout out to his supporter, warren buffett.
whoa. is mccain left handed?
are we choosing between two left-handed candidates?
buffet does good work.
I KNEW McCain was left!
a minute follow up is stupid.
mccain just corrected the questioner.
mccain suspended his campaign as a gimmick. i'm surprised he brought that up.
that's because mccain hates black people. is he really being this condescending to this dude?
'obama and his cronies...'
the gloves come off.
did mccain just say 'couldn't never?'
McCain is on record of calling out Fannie and Freddy a couple of years ago.
i love obama's smile. calm and collected.
'hates black people'? a bit harsh brother.
mccain said, 'frannie and freddie'
is there truth to that accusation by mccain against obama and the dems?
darin: you're right. but i'm not sure its so simplistic as to say fannie and freddie are at this heart of this crisis.
obama answers his question, "what does this mean?"
mccain can't help his mean self...
mikey: welcome. here we go. obama's making some corrections.
they are at the heart, not by themselves but they are at the heart.
mikey: dems are more pro-fannie and freddie.
obama is right though. there was a breakdown in regulation of the lending companies.
fannie and freddie are a small part of the larger problem.
why's mccain walking around?
obama just took the higher road, no?
or at least pretended to.
he's walking because he's nervous and down in the polls.
true paul. true.
obama is strong here. we need leadership. he is intelligent, thoughtful and it shows here.
Peter is in Williamsburg tonight, stuffing envelopes.
It's important sometimes to figure out what cause such huge problems, but they should try to focus a little more on what needs to be done, I think.
mccain already said it would get worse. is he changing his tune here?
Obama seems to have a better idea on what to do, I think.
agreed mikey. agreed.
agreed mike.
you go girl.
oh my. look at her go. teresa. give it to them.
whoops. he called her a cynic.
obama has to be more empathetic to the questioners.
obama's answer here is a bit condescending.
republicans have done awful fiscally the last 8 yrs (6 of which they totally controlled)
obama needs to stop saying "well look." Sounds a little condescending.
that lady's question was a little condescending though too.
agreed stevie.
i'm tired of cnn hd. i think i'm turning it to nbc.
ohioans like his answer.
they both agree: she's a cynic.
when i listen to mccain he makes me unsettled (as did clinton) ever since his meanness directed at romney.
i agree paul. i started to dislike mccain the person after the debate in california when he was very mean to romney.
ohioans are going negative on this answer.
obama has the perfect smile while mccain is being a jack*ss.
oops...
at least mccain's comb over looks nice tonight.
nice question brokaw. i predict they won't answer it.
senior moment for mccain?
mccain doesn't answer. check.
a non-answer. 'all three are important'.
typical washington answer, "we can work at all 3 at the same time", just answer the freakin question.
if we were drinkers, we should take a drink every time mccain says 'my friends'
he's talking about nothing.
blah blah blah
boring boring boring.
good call darin.
I agree steve, my friend.
obama!!!!!!! answering the question. nice.
lowering energy prices will start to restore some consumer confidence, I like that approach
wait....maybe he's not. i want the list.
i like his answer...
we prioritize like families must prioritize.
stevie: high gas prices are not good for america.
i like this idea of creating a national push to become free of oil.
oh wait. he is. nice.
you go obama. prioritize away.
ohio likes it.
i know about the oil. i was just pushing libby and dj's buttons.
he's over time.
those ohio women love obama.
did i mention that peter is stuffing envelopes right now?
ooohhh....brokaw is funny. wait....a 78 year old is emailing in questions? nice.
good question.
26 years in the senate and he can only name two senators that he has worked with.
let's keep a count of how times he mentions feingold and lieberman.
so far: 2 in about 2 mins.
petey!!!
peter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg. i'm so happy you're commenting.
i like this answer. cut defense spending.
i think every question that mccain addresses he has to point out what he has done...why can't he talk more about what he can do.
i wasn't listening. i was too excited that peter was on here.
can we make a list of all the things mccain has "taken on"?
oh great. the spending freeze again.
spending freeze!!!!! sounds like our house.
jimmy james. nice to have you. oh look, now mccain is attacking obama for answering the question.
mclame goes folksy
did mccain just glare at obama?
mcglare.
jimbo!
nice stevie.
uh oh. mccain is walking around again.
shout out for offshore drilling from obama...
obama sure is nice to listen to...
taking a page from the shout-out playbook of palin
obama is actually answering the questions, mccain is giving the typical washington answer on every question.
yep. look at him inspire us. we are now willing to sacrifice for america.
for the record.
emily is using the laptop for addresses. so i will only comment when i really feel my opinion needs to be aired.
prepare yourself.
i'm inspired.
darin: agreed.
it's the spirit..?
petey: i'm prepared.
agreed on obamas response of washington as examples of spending.
paul: i think so. i was just at a baptism, and I'm feeling the same way now as I was at the baptism while they were singing 'lead kindly light.'
oohh...hatchet and scalpel comparison. very nice.
use a scalpel. i like it.
jello to the wall? seriously?
mcnasty.
stevie: agreed.
is that true about small business tax? If so that is concerning, our economy is run on small businesses.
"senator obama's secret that you don't know." seriously? who is this guy? "senator obama's secret that you don't know" is that he's black!!!!! and muslim!!!!
darin: agreed.
it's not true. obama has many tax cuts for small businesses.
tax exemption for children is 3500? I thought it was only 1000?
mccain is playin' the fool
'i've got some new for you obama...the economy is bad' by mccain was consdescending and stupid.
his smile is so ingenious.
look at him. isn't he so satisfied with himself.
and i wish he would stop pulling a palin and repeating the same stupid little quips every 10 seconds
mccain is doubling tax exemptions for kids, from what i've read.
petey: i think you meant 'ingenuous;
nice. straight talk express lost a wheel. very funny.
oh snap: the straight talk express lost a wheel.
i think the ingenious smile is due to some 'nam injury.
that's what i heard.
jimbo: agreed. oh, and look at this...obama is actually cutting taxes for small businesses.
will someone take a timeout and explain to me how only a few small businesses make $250,000 or more? that doesn't seem right, and it is one question i have for obama
that laugh makes me want to slowly die...
mcsnappy.
my friends...
'my friends' take a drink.
'our wonderful ronald reagan'?
WHAT are you ACTUALLY going to do besides "reach across the aisle." He didn't answer it.
james: i believe he means the gross income of the business owner is less than $250,000.
mccain's high pitched voice right now is grating.
look how excited he is my friends.
raise the glass my friends...
mccain's endless stupid finger-pointings are losing him big points. not productive.
if anyone in the senate, in both parties, hate him... (he's not been voted miss congeniality)
how is he going to work across the aisle?
lieberman doesn't count because the dems hate him more than the GOP.
i'm drunk off my friends.
thank you paul. you are always so wise.
lieberman. we should drink when he says lieberman's name as well.
mcsmug.
ah jimmy.
what?????? did he just say "or somethin' like that?"
"My friends" is driving me nuts!! Get off the "I can work with people from across the aisle" kick, you've told us that a MILLION times already.
mc-insane.
i wonder if mccain's 'green job' plan is affected at all by his alaskan friend's disbelief in man made global warming.
anna says she really doesn't like mccain...
mccain is all over the place. he it's like he jumping from notecard to notecard in one big jumble of 'please vote for me' 'please like me'.
obama's measured pace is superior at every turn.
anna: agreed.
pablo: astute observations. tonight may be the final blow in a pitiful couple of weeks for the mccain campaign...
obama is good at this. he agrees often with mccain and it sounds good to people.
obama is truly the anointed one.
and i'm not being biased. of course.
'we can't drill our way out of the problem. agreed.
ooohhhh...they just cut to split screen on nbc. very nice.
james. i see you've felt the spirit as well...
strong james. strong.
'wave at me tom. i'll look at ya.'
"wave like that" because I can't see the lights, due to my reptilian eyes.
drink.
"that one"
didn't he mean "the one," jimmy james?
'that one'?
there's that 'nam again. messing with my eyes.
can't drill our way out paul, but do need to step that up as part of the solution until the other things are developed and able to be used by the masses
tom was the only one that laughed at that...
I think off shore drilling is important, but didn't obama say he liked the idea too. why did mccain stress it so much like it's only his idea?
again, this pork-barrel finger pointing is getting old.
mikey: it's true. obama does support offshore drilling.
will mccain stop walking around?
darin: agreed. i'm not against drilling offshore. but there are those politicians that describe it as a talisman to bring down prices. those drilling will add drops to the bucket and will sell abroad anyway.
careful obama. framing the debate on health care as, 'health care shouldn't be a commodity' is dangerous.
he's avoiding it here thankfully...unlike the question.
mammograms!!!!
one hand giveth. nice christian shout-out.
mcstevie.
at least obama can give a clear answer on health care.
straight talk barack
straight talk barack...i like that.
mcnixon
