The CNN coverage of the debates, with the charts and the graphs and the viewer response lines? That shit needs to end. Have we really reached a point in our zeitgeist where people can't sit and watch two of the most powerful men in the whole world talk about decisions that will effect billions of dollars and people without video games cluttering the screen? Are we that gone on sugar and Ritalin and cocaine?
By framing the debates in useless nonsense, CNN and their ilk are not only distracting voters from what's being said, they're also distracting them from stuff that's actually important to watch when attempting to discern what kind of person a candidate is, their verbal patterns and subtle physical tics.
It's called paying attention, and it's how millions of Americans at bars every night choose who they're going to let fuck them. Why can't everyone apply the same level of interest to two men they really don't want fucking them?
"… it's how millions of Americans at bars every night initially choose who they're going to let fuck them."
Where are these bars???!!!
On the electoral college front Obama has already won. And why so much ink in the press about Palin? Nobody decides their vote based on the VP (e.g: Dan Quayle).
i have a crush on you cord.
le sigh.
America is facing one of the worst financial challenges it has ever faced. Stop wasting time being petty; instead, come up with a plan to help troubled Americans. Can we prevent this, http://www.buymyhousebeforethebanktakesit.com don't you think it's time to get on with the real issues?
About the Sarah Palin thing, yes, it's true she didnt answer the questions directly, she took a indirect approach and said the things the people would want to hear, she got up there and attempted to 'sell' if you will, the McCain/Palin campaign. Now, according to dems she is a idiot and she cant answer questions correctly. According to me she took advantage of her time up there to spread her message about things the American should care about.

Why does the NYT still keep you on the payroll?
