Liveblogging The Second Debate – Thread 3

9:29PM
McCain took his Ambien tonight. So far, the gloves are on. His harshest attack has been on an overhead projector earmark for a planetarium.

9:32PM
It's even more striking how presidential Senator Obama looks next to McCain in this debate format.

9:33PM
Obama has been going after McCain far more than the first debate. Not harshly -- but just in terms of contrast.

9:35PM
I think Obama should say "laser" instead of "scalpel" from now on. Scalpel is scary.

9:36PM
"Nailing Jell-o to a wall! HEH?!" falls flat.

9:42PM
McCain is literally hissing now. A whispery hiss.

9:42PM
McCain turned his back on the African American questioner (re: green jobs) while she was still talking. Cranky old bastard.

9:48PM
McCain just called Obama "that one". That one????

9:51PM
McCain lurking around during Obama's healthcare response. Lurching and smirking around the stage area makes McCain look really creepy. And wow -- Obama is NAILING the healthcare response.

9:52PM
Seriously -- if the pundits don't rip McCain to shreds over "that one" there is no justice left in this world.

9:54PM
McCain's reptilian tongue is back. I read somewhere that he only does that when he knows he's full of shit.

9:55PM
Obama is easily winning this debate. Easily.

9:58PM
Right about now, I think McCain is rethinking his obsession about doing a series of town halls with Obama who was just off the charts with women on healthcare.

NEW THREAD! Heh?!
