Focus Group! What was up with last night?
“I was disappointed in their responses. I didn’t hear anything new.”
“Both candidates were just using talking points.”
“After watching this debate, I’m still not convinced either candidate has a plan.”
Uh, if they said anything new, they’d be flip-flopping and people would complain that they didn’t know what their plan was. And, yeah, they’re politicians. They’re going to steer their answers to some practiced speech they’ve used before.
No plan? No plan??
Go visit both candidates’ websites. Listen to what they’re saying. They’re not going to detail out their plan during the debate because then you’ll be bored by that. But they give generalities and you can get the specifics from their websites.
Both candidates have plans. You just have to decide which one you agree with more.
I’m disappointed with last night’s Focus Group.
But the dial group! Ohio undecided voters — Wow.
Those women were maxing out their dials, like, every third time Obama spoke. The men came close a few times, but those women. There was one point where they had completely maxed out the entire length of the screen!
As far as the debate went, I really don’t like the Town Hall style. McCain made me uncomfortable with how close he was standing to people. Kinda creeped me out. I guess I just really like my personal space and need other people to have theirs too.
Also, I don’t know if I’m slow, but Ian and I figured out the whole sharpie thing with McCain. I don’t think he could read his own handwriting without glasses/squinting if he used a pen. He has Corpses move to use a fat marker so he can read his notes. We did notice that he came prepared this time though. He brought a spare marker in case the old, used one wore out.
I thought Tom Brokaw did a good job. Some of the analysts (last night’s winner: Castellanos; CNN got rid of Rollins and Rosen from last week though) didn’t like him, but I thought he did a good job trying to stick to rules that no one else wanted to abide by. Both candidates made themselves sound bad because of this too. Obama for asking permission to respond, and McCain sounded childish, “Well, if he gets that, I want that too.”
And the hole in the back wall! I thought it was just for the camera to look at Tom Brokaw; Ian and I kept looking at it when the camera panned past it. Thank goodness for that flub at the end where they showed the teleprompter. It explained why the hole was so big.
From our heckling last night, after finding out that Michelle Obama was planted in the audience:
Tom: And now we have an audience question from Michelle O. of Illinois.
Michelle: Whose socks are these on the bathroom floor?
Tom: Senator McCain? Your response?
McCain: *pointing* That guy’s.
Obama: Now wait just a minute. There’s enough blame to go around here. But this isn’t a time to be asking, “Whose socks are these?” We don’t have times to be pointing fingers. We need to ask ourselves, “Who will help pick these socks up?”
