By Jeremy Schoemaker

Forgot there was a debate tonight? Well now you have been warned!
Can Mccain knockout Obama tonight and seal it up? If he does half as good as Palin did wiping the floor with stumbling Joe Biden the other night should be game over for Obama.
Now for the important stuff.
The Debate drinking game… Here is a copy of the official rules

I think he will have to do more than win tonight to seal the deal.

I still cant pick a side… I have a problem picking between people one of which looks like he will fall over and die at any moment (leaving Palin to run the country…. disaster.) or the other whom I don’t trust at all.

He can’t steal anything but a heart attack. Like I said a thousand times before, Mccain is just one heart beat away from being in a nursing home. We need a young vibrant leader who can at least clean up some of this mess we are in.

Agreed! McCain got a really dynamic vice-presidential candidate, however he himself is a tad insipid and lacking in drive. Too old I say.

What? quote” if they loose some valuable territory they demand a recount just like Bush”
This is why there is a book “How to talk to a liberal (if you must)” … they say the exact opposite of reality in many instances … it can drive you crazy!
The democrats wanted to recount in Flordia 2000 NOT Bush and the Supreme Court said the Democrats could not just pick the democratic counties and recount (as they would gain votes) just what happened in Seattle, libs can find those votes just about anywhere, in garbage bins in printers … todays cheating is recounting by hand … there should be laws on the books recounting by machines only. And dems wanted to find votes for gore in democratic county. And all this after Peter Jennings and other news media called the state for Gore before the more republican counties polling places were even closed … there was still an hour left to vote … I hope conservatives don’t fall for any of the media hype … it is propaganda to lead the sheepole … look hollywood love obama you should too … BS … I think many have learned they can’t be trusted… they hate us … really, if they hate someone like Sarah Palin like they do … they hate me and my kind .. I really feel personally insulted by the media attacks on Sarah Palin and thier sick love fest for a very unqualified canidate … instead of looking at his policies they attack Joe the plumber for questioning it … they are a sick bunch … please don’t let our country go their way … please don’t listen to the polls … Obama has a very, very small lead in the polls and I think he and his supporters will be very surprised by HOW WRONG THE POLLS were.
Shoe, now you’re really stretching. This election is not even close. Obama/Biden are up by 9 points nationwide and are not only ahead in every single swing state, but also some formerly blood-red conservative strongholds like Virginia and North Carolina.
Just because Palin bumbled her way through a debate does not mean she won; Joe Biden cleaned her clock with his expansive knowledge of government and foreign policy.
John McCain is a cranky old man with an itchy trigger finger and a stink of desperation overcoming him. He’s trying to make something out of nothing by constantly bringing up lies about Obama that were debunked in the primaries. McCain will lose because, quite simply, he is a bad person and bad for America.
However, congratulations on writing effective linkbait.
(Also, you need to be ahead to “seal the deal.” I fully believe that Obama and his presidential composure will seal the deal in his favor tonight.)

@Anonymous - I agree with you. However, I’m a little nervous that a large lead is going to result in lower voter turn out.
We run the risk of people not voting for Obama because the assume it’s going to be a lock.
A huge lead is a good thing, but can be dangerous at the same time.

Actually, the Zogby national poll on 10/7/08 had Obama up by 2pts with a 3pt margin of error. But your magical math of 9pts sure makes for a sensational story.
Obama: 47.1 (a drop of 0.6 in one day for Obama)
McCain: 45.2

The difference is you’ve cited a poll that includes all “registered voters” while the Reuters/CSPAN/Zogby poll I cited includes “likely voters.” Big difference.
In a word: no.
As much as I dislike Obama, I dislike McCain almost as much. The guy has been campaigning like an idiot, alienating the fiscally-minded and the socially-minded as well.
If Palin was running, I would vote for her. She, at least, seems interesting.

I can’t believe you thought Palin ‘wiped the floor with stumbling Joe Biden’. I just added you on my RSS reader yesterday and now I’m removing you. Someone so politically blind is not someone whose knowledge I covet, regardless of how much you might make.

By the way, I don’t think McCain will do better than Palin did. There’s no way.

I love the debate drinking game site, that’s too funny!
[Reply]
It sounds like you have made a decision on who you plan to vote for… Where I’m from (Michigan), McCain has pulled out as far as efforts to try to win the state. I guess he is planning to try to focus on other states at this point.
I’ve made up my mind already as to who I plan to vote for. I hope whoever gets voted in (regardless of who) can help make things better.
As far as the polls are concerned, I don’t think you can really tell who has won until it is all over. (the actual vote)
I look forward to watching the debate tonight.
[Reply]
I don’t know what to think, Jeremy?
Linkbait?
Surely you know that Biden won the VP debate according to the polls. I also assume you know that even if McCain did exceptionally well today he wouldn’t “seal the deal”. There is still a lot of time to go.
Btw: I’m not partisan.

Palin did horribly in the last debate…

Shoe are you kidding me? Palin got her ass handed to her by Biden. What debate were you watching brother?

I like McCain. I always have. But what happens if he dies. He’s like 70 something. Plus what is that thing growing on the side of his jaw. He had cancer a number of time. They are NOT release any of his medical record. He’s applying for the most important job in the country. If he croaks that puts Palin in command and that is scary as F#@%…..

I don’t think McCain is in position to seal any deals. He’s a better debater than Obama, but not enough to matter. If he can get through tonight without losing more ground he should count that as a win.
Personally, I don’t see this debate changing anything. The first debate was both candidates’ best chance for impact, and neither capitalized.
Side note: I like the drinking game.
[Reply]
lol @ one sidedness
[Reply]
Were you playing the debate drinking game while watching the VP debate Shoe? Not only is McCain behind in the polls but Palin didn’t do too well during the debate. Time, Yahoo!, and Politico, were just a few sites declaring Biden the clear winner.
If McCain does even just as meagerly OK as Palin did, Obama will seal it for sure.

I think we will see a much tougher Obama tonight.
Look for a lot of gritting of the teeth from McCain

Your use of sarcasm is amazing! Because we definitely all watched the VP debate where every major news source claimed Biden as the clear winner.
Oh, and I’m not sure how someone can seal the deal with a 9 point deficit in the polls…
Thank you for giving me a smile today, your sense of humor is right on point!

I am not voting for either Obama or McCain, but I do have to agree with the other posters on here that you must have been watching a different debate because I don’t think there was a consensus that Palin wiped the floor with Biden. I know I sure wasn’t impressed with either of their performances.

McCain should win, as much as people love Obama, the country would be screwed with him as the President. People are seriously going to elect someone with no financial experience to head this economy? People are going to elect someone to be Commander In Chief of the most powerful army when he has never served in it? The reality of the election is this, it’s Biden vs. Palin, not Obama vs. McCain. Yes McCain is old and could have a heart attack yada yada yada. But do you seriously think Obama will serve out his presidency? You underestimate the sheer hatered so many people have for blacks and would hate to see a black president. Sorry, it has been said several times and needs to be taken more seriously, Obama has as much chance of dying in office as McCain.

hmmmm…. I think the rules for the drinking game pretty much sum up this election. No matter who you vote for, odds are that you’re fiscally irresponsible (spending money on alcohol in the face of a recession), impaired (by alcohol in this instance), and making poor decisions (drinking games on a worknight). The same for both Republicans and Democrats.

Obama did very, very, well tonight. McCain just looks all over the board and lost at times. I looked at my girlfriend tonight and said, if you were a little lost child in a crowded mall, who would you feel safe taking your hand and leading you to safety?

This has gotten so ridiculous. I love debates and good discussion but I’m at a point where I almost can’t talk or respect anyone who is supporting McCain/Palin at this point. They just are so out of touch with reality and in touch with division and bringing the country down. Spending freeze but buy everyone a house in the same few minutes? C’mon. There simply is no conservative running this time. Obama should be winning by about 95% - 5%

I think the race is closer then people think.
Like has been said previously, Obama has a lot of support on the internet and in the press which gives him the look of having momentum.
In addition the core demographics of his base - young people and African Americans may play well in opinion polls but whether they turn out on election day is another story.
I would hardly be calling an Obama win a done deal.

Barack Hussein Obama is a Marxist with socialistic economic views and intentions. Be like the rest of the kool-aid drinking followers and vote for “change”. Give me a break. This guy is a joke. John McCain, while not perfect, is clearly the candidate that is qualified to be the leader of the free world. Instead of looking to a unknown liberal senator with extremely shady close associations for the answers to all of life’s problems, consider instead looking around at your own life and making a decision to change it yourself. It is not he government or “the messiah’s” job to improve your life. With freedom comes great responsibility. A responsibility to govern one’s self and take the blame when things don’t go as planned.

Being from alaska, I have little respect for Sarah Palin. she’s a typical alaskan poitician-a crook and a liar.
I didn’t watch the debate last night-i usually find them too depressing. Hopefully it played as the others have-McCain nervous and too old, Obama dignified, calm and answering questions with real answers instead of scripted answers don’t say anything of substance, just throw in a few buzz words.
I did watch a bit of VP debate-Palin was well coached on the buzz words but said little of substance. Biden did all right.
[Reply]
Reply to my own post…lol. Have a few corrections. Obama, IMHO, gives answers of substance, he thinks about what he says and he’s a very smart man. He’s a lawyer with a degree in finance, I believe. McCain is crazy, and I find him a big threat to this country. but to the corrections-McCain and Palin are full of scripted answers that give the impression of being answers, but basically are full of buzz words with no real meaning.
Past Pres. with no military experience? How about the dub? He managed to avoid Vietnam, was AWOL from the reserves, and look at the mess he’s made in Iraq, Afghanistan, and right here. thanks to his spending, we’ll be in debt for generations.
Palin was mayor of Wasilla, AK., pop. 8,000. She made to the gov. position thanks to Ted Stevens and his announcing a deal about the gas pipeline which people in this state misunderstood (were led to misunderstand) to mean the pipeline was a done deal and that somehow made it seem like Palin was in on it. As mentioned previously, Alaskan politicians are crooks and manipulators. Re: Palin calling herself a simple hockey mom. i’ve been a hockey mom, and know other hockey moms-very few are millionaires, a fact that Palin prefers to leave out of her resume.
