Election 2008

Quick note on performance

Colin Kavanaugh

McCain is charging on pretty hard so far with the “cut spending” line. And Obama agrees that earmarks have been “abused.”

[General view so far is that McCain's voice sounds pretty monotone, and even his notorious jokes are falling flat. If he's going to be funny, he needs quick, witty comments.]

Obama is now touting his tax plan (cut taxes on 95% of Americans) — something he must do to refute the common belief that he is a “tax-and-spend liberal.”
McCain is now refuting with taxing charges in a time of economic peril.
Obama comes back pretty quickly with a correction.
