Is McCain back?
My initial thoughts from tonight’s first post-Labor Day presidential GOP debate is that John McCain looked and sounded better than he has in years (and thus was the winner, hands down). The senator from Arizona had the spark that made him so attractive in 2000. Maybe it was the New Hampshire audience, maybe it was the underdog and falling status of his campaign, or maybe, just maybe he stopped listening to all of those folks (or more likely there’s nobody for him to listen to because he can’t pay them) and decided to stop following the script and start being himself. Whatever, he won and I hope to see what it looks like if (and when) he and FRED square off in the future.
What else?
Did anybody catch the laugh track in tonight’s audio EVERY time Ron Paul was asked a question? I couldn’t tell if it was an audience member or one of the candidates, but it was brilliant! Everytime Paul was asked a question you could strongly hear a laugh in the background. Finally, a way to qualify the weenie and his campaign.
The only other thing I have to say about tonight comes in my previous post. Mike Huckabee gets it on Iraq, I just wish somebody else would.
