Where's Waldo?

[hellinahandcart]

Mr. Mondale may have peaked soon after he was officially named the Democratic candidate.

Mr.Mondale peaked back in 1976.

[RightOnline]

The last thing the Dems want to do is to put that dried up old geezer, Mondale, on the tube. He'd be seen for exactly what he is...................a tired old man who has lost touch...............and they certainly can't have that, now, can they?

[KQQL]

I hear he wants a RADIO debate only !

[MadIvan]

Walter Mondale recently "seen" pressing the flesh:

Truly, the "see thru" candidate.

Mondale and the RATS figured that all he would have to do to win on Tuesday would be to have a pulse. They never expected, or really planned for him to actually go out and stump for votes, banking instead on the sympathy vote for Wellstone to carry him into the Senate. And it would have worked, if not for their Nuremberg style rally. Now they're stuck with a candidate who not only looks old and tired, but has no coherent message that appeals to voters.

Got Lost?

Forgot?

Could not find car keys?

Forgot Aid’s name and therefore could not ask want was on the schedule today.

Spilled drink on his only shirt

Bus broke down

Gold fish died

socks did not match

Went to store, could not remember why, or where he was, or who he was.

I hope this "We'll-tax-their-asses-off" POS loses big on Tuesday. What a wuss. I mean, just a few days ago he had plenty of time to yuk it up at Wellstone's party, er...funeral, yeah, funeral, that's the ticket. Now he says he doesn't have time to debate? And that lame excuse of "I want to talk directly to the people." Well that's exactly what a debate is all about! Talking to the people does not mean giving a ten-minute prepared speech at a closed fundraiser attended only by a few thousand sycophants paying $500 a plate for rubbery chicken who would vote for you even if you showed up on national TV stark naked with the words "I am a doofus who wants to raise your taxes" tattoed across your chest.

Face it, Mondale is not prepared for the senate or for any other public office. That's why he refused to debate last night. He knows his only chance is to count on the sympathy vote as Wellstone's replacement. He also know that it is better to be thought an out-of-touch washed-up has-been than to open his mouth and remove all doubt. I hope he loses big on Tuesday.

Mondale comes across as a doddering old poop. No wonder he wouldn't show up to debate. I have a suggestion for his campaign slogan -- "I Never Metamucil I Didn't Like."

[Bogie]

So you see, the Democrats really the ones who stood to gain the most with the "dumbing down" in the schools.

Here is a party that depends on a non thinking America!

[Valin]

Walter? oh Walter? come out come out where every you are!
We've got geritol and depends!

[Brytani]

" "In the last three days, lines of voters have come by to pick up more than 3,000 'Democrats for Coleman' yard signs," a Coleman campaign official said."

This is the best news I've heard yet. If 3,000 signs have gone out for democrats, we can assume even more democrats are against Mondale and for Coleman. To win, we need dem votes as well as independent.

Here's to hoping the Wellstone Memorial turns into an early memorial for the democratic party.

[OldFriend]

Mondale needs more time to brush up on Admiral Stockdale's debate strategy!

[aristeides]

Notably, despite months of Democratic attacks accusing him of backing Social Security privatization, Mr. Coleman defended President Bush's idea to let younger workers invest some of their payroll taxes in stocks and bonds to build richer retirement savings. But he said he would "not vote for anything that cuts one dime" from what beneficiaries have paid into the system or what they have been promised.

Did anybody in the debate point out that Mondale has a history of supporting privatized Social Security accounts?

[Carry_Okie]

Mr. Coleman, a Democrat-turned-Republican, repeated his campaign theme that "the future is now" and that the old politics of rigid partisanship and gridlock had to be overcome by problem-solvers who can move legislation through.

Can you say, "Jim Jeffords"?

Is this the best that Carl Rove can do?

Sheesh.

[Dog Gone]

I don't think there will be a debate. Clearly, if the Dems thought he would do well, they would have had him out there last night. They are limiting his public exposure, and hoping he can win based on the public's perception of who he used to be, combined with the sympathy factor.

[cake_crumb]

"[Republican lawmakers] charged that he was trying to avoid a debate and "play out the clock" with only three more days remaining in a race that both sides said was too close to call."

They have every right to, because that's exactly what Mr. "I left my brain in 1979" Mundane is doing.

[Clock King]

Just goes to show, you can't debate if you don't have a position or a compass. Wellstone had that; a belief in what he was doing and knowledge to back it up. Mondale is your typical poll-driven Dem with no center.

[Sal]

One of the common Rat tricks is to drop a big LIE that makes the pubbie look awful right before the election. Think Box O'Rocks Boxer in her first run with her accusation that ultra-conservative Herschenson (sp?) was caught going to a strip joint.

The trouble is that there's no time to show the people that it IS a lie and no time for the appropriate backlash to develop against the liar.

I fully expect something similar from our hero of the Nuremburg Rally on Monday night. Very few will hear it because they'll be watching Monday night football, but the ever-complicit press will trumpet it on every newscast Monday night and all day Tuesday.

They will carefully say that Mondale says, "..." because they will KNOW it's a lie and will need to be able to say, "We were just reporting what was said..." I wonder what the Rats will invent this time.

Whatever it turns out to be, Friday would have been too early--Coleman would have a chance to turn it back on them--but Monday night just might work.

[McGavin999]

Radio? It's a fine medium, but......we have TV now Mr. Mondale. It's a wonderful new invention that shoots pictures of people out through the air into peoples homes.
