And the winner is... Mac by a bracelet

McCain outshines Obama in battle of the bracelets

By Howie Carr Saturday, September 27, 2008 - Round 1 to McCain, on points.

Barack Obama got off to a good start when Jim Lehrer spent a half-hour on economic issues, where McCain is hobbled by the carcass of George W. Bush.

But when the debate got to the foreign policy issues that it was supposed to be about, the bracelet exchange summed it all up.

McCain mentions that he’s wearing a bracelet he got from the mother of a soldier slain in New Hampshire.

To which Obama responds: “I have a bracelet, too.”

For the last hour, McCain bested Obama at almost every turn. Even at the start, McCain mentioned Ted Kennedy’s seizure first, and later he beat him to the punch on global warming while simultaneously dropping Hillary Clinton’s name first. McCain even needled Obama on his presidential seal.

*L* Great headline.

I don’t get how people can think Obama won? especially after the bracelet fiasco.

[bigbob]

All of which clearly explains why in the eyes of the MSM, Obama won in a landslide.

Stupid MSM.

[originalbuckeye]

All Obama has is GWB. McCain was never that close to GWB but the MSM allows Obama to use it all the time. Whenever he got into trouble last night he invoked GWB. That's all he has.

Men don’t wear bracelets...

They wear WRIST BANDS.

or gauntlets.

Gauntlets... that’s still a little... french...

We’ll stick with WRIST BANDS.

McCain mentions that he’s wearing a bracelet he got from the mother of a soldier slain in New Hampshire.

I wasn't aware that any soldiers had been slain in New Hampshire.

Doesn't the Boston Herald have any proofreaders?

[rwfromkansas]

Because nobody knows about it since the media ignored it and said there were no gaffes by Obama.

Bracelet or no bracelet, if that whole charade changed one vote I’d be surprised. Now Sarah on the other hand....well!

I’d love to see McCain throw RevWright in his face at the next debate when 0 pulls the McSame meme.

“You want to play the guilt by association, my friend?” Split screen showing Obama turning white.

BHO did not even come close. All my Oxford trained debate coach buddies said it was a knockout by McCain. The drive bys are spinning as hard and fast as they can.

same here

I watched it last night
obama was rude, arrogant looking, he never gave any plans out to how he was going to pay for all these programmes.
he looked like he had read a book on policy but never really understood it

for anyone to say obama won that debate has their head where the sun doesn’t shine, of course that is many liberals

when you look at the debate again you notice that obama was really clueless, the media need to watch it and listen to his answers and then they’ll see obama never gave anything of substance at all in that debate

he obama looked rattled and annoyed because the earmarks was brought up
obama is trying to say look at spending and yet he is the man who keeps spending

time for the media to do their job

I’m hoping the “new” media gets this out loudly and as much as possible.

[rampage8]

it was so incredibly childish. i really thought that would be the soundbite we’d hear replayed this morning, but i should have known better.

[rwfromkansas]

After her circular answers to some of the interviews of late, I really hope she is practicing a lot for the debate.

Even an “okay” debate would be good enough.

But, we can’t have her repeating things she just said like she did with Couric!

"I don’t get how people can think Obama won? especially after the bracelet fiasco. "

Most of the zerObama supporters, and probably many of the purported "undecideds" are not political junkies, but are the headline readers and sound bite types. Their idea of being "well informed" is reading the captions under the photos in the newspaper.

By the propagandists on the left (MSM) regurgitating "Obama won, Obama won" over and over again, the useful idiots in our society - who, like lemmings never go over a cliff alone - will flock over to the zerObama side. Their insecure and group-think personalities will always draw them to the perceived winner.

Then there is the "word of mount" perveyance from those headline readers telling their most idiot friends to don't read anything, that "obama won". Being the same group-first types, they too will be programmed to vote for obama.

This country needs to establish a "voting license".

We can email it, text the links to the youtube videos, blog about it etc.

Unnecessary luxury. Among the first to go in layoffs.

I hope some of the people can cut through the spin. Hearing the news today is making my tummy hurt.
