right-wing blogs we like
The Reagan Wing Hearin lies the real heart of Washington State Republicans. Doug Parris runs this red-meat social conservative group site which bars no holds when it comes to saying who they are and who they're not; what they believe and what they don't; who their friends are and where the rest of the Republicans can go. Well-written, and flaming.

Comments
McCain on points. He said what needed to be said about Hussein.
Actually, I agree that Sen McCain probably actually 'won' this debate (1st time yet). All Obama had to do was tread water and that is exactly what he did. McCain's point is well taken; Obama, if nothing else is eloquent.
Hussein was KO'd after McCain called him out and told him if he wanted to run against President Bush he should have ran 4 years ago. That was the theme for Hussein all night until that point and he was caught off guard. Like Kimball, he was knocked out cold. What was his response, well, ug, uh, er...something about President Bush again. Funny, so funny.
I noticed the blinking. Maybe he's got the same problem as Pelosi?
I wonder how much make up he's under? Imagine most seventy-year-olds you know...or you are.
Anything to say, Steven, that has to do with anything of importance? Now's your chance.
BTW, Reagan and Bender were just talking about the blogosphere picking up on McCain's exasperated inhalations. I'm so glad we've at least got a candidate who can control his breathing.
McCain had some good jabs but the impression he left on Middle America is one of a grumpy old man whos willing to abandon his "clean campaign" principles at the eleventh hour and hit below the belt in order to win at all costs.
McCain's cavalier cavalier references to Obama as someone who doesn't know anything comes off as being disrespectful and out of touch. Say what you will about Obama's world view but he's no idiot, and attempts to paint him as such as disingenuous.
Nobody is saying it but were all thinking it: McCain is sounding very desperate.
I think Gregoire won the debate tonight for among other reasons how she handled the attack ads. She really stuck it to Rossi on the casino and child molester smear ads. She called him out on it big time. All Rossi had to say about the negative ads against him were that they were 'false', woowoo. Her clarification about the budget surplus which Rossi eroniuosly denies exists also scored big points for Gregoire.
McLame, at least twice, mentioned Pa'in's affinity for children with autism...special needs children (autism) have a special place in her heart. Oh, what-the-hell, one special need is the same as any other...autism, Down Syndrome.they all look alike! But, they don't and McLame, again, doesn't know the differnce. Outta touch, outta the game!

Now it's Top 40 hits from the '60's & '70's aimed at that diminishing crowd who still remembers them and can still hear.
KTTH am 770 KHz Right wing home of local, and a whole bunch of syndicated righties such as Glennn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Medved, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Lars Larsony, and for an hour a day: live & local David Boze.

Yoou got two robots speaking from memorized 3 x 5 cards and you ask who won?
It is the powers that be who won. The establishment may change faces. But the game will be the same.
Yawn

Yes, Steven. I wonder how many times he practiced that line to get it right...
Ryder's right. They are both establishment. But I like Obama's establishment more by a few degrees - not many.
Polls showing Obama winning. Interesting because I though McCain did his best job tonight as well.
Maybe it was the fact that he turned every answer into a speech. I got tired of that.

McCain never connected Ayers to Obama, he needed that to stay in the game. He kept blinking too

Bill Ayres and Rev. Wright are finshed as issues against Obama. Probably a losing startegy for McCain. It is probably over...

The people who refer to Obama as "Hussein" are racists. Your opinions on all matters are therefor invalid.

Senator McCain looked somewhat frantic. Too bad - the McCain of 2000 would have done much better.

Obama won, just by sitting there and not having and aneurysm.
