A Birdseye View From The Debate At Ole Miss

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

From James Church, who is from Hoots and is at Ole Miss. He won the lottery. Not the money kind, but that one that allowed at the debate. He has a ton of observations that you might want to check out.

Here’s something else that they didn’t mention on TV. The room was cooled to 62 degrees Fahrenheit. The reason for the cool temperature is so the candidates won’t be able to sweat on camera. When the debated ended, we all quickly moved out of the auditorium just to get warm. I never felt better about returning to the Mississippi heat outside.

As the entire audience was moving to get back on a shuttle, reporters came up to us. Someone from the BBC Radio London asked me who I thought won the debate. I told her that I thought it was too close to call and both candidates appeared very strong. I told her that McCain was more agressive at attacking Obama on issues like the Russia/Georgia conflict, that I was supporting Obama, and that neither candidate said enough about the financial crisis. All I can think about today is that people in London, England are learning that James Church is completely looney.

Candidates Are Sales People

It honestly comes down to if the American public is buying what a candidate is selling.

Of course I think that John McCain suspending his campaign is a ploy and PR maneuvering.

Alas, I’m only one American voter.

On the surface, it appears that McCain is doing what’s best for the people, but politicians are tricky. Every move is coordinated with a choreography that would rival any Broadway musical. Right or left, it doesn’t matter. Politicians and their teams think things through.

Now, let’s look at the financial devastation that McCain missing Friday night’s debate at Ole Miss.

ABC News’ Tahman Bradley Reports: A senior University of Mississippi official reacted Wednesday to the news that Sen. John McCain R-Ariz., wants to postpone Friday’s presidential debate, saying that such a move would be “devastating” for the university which has already invested millions in preparation for the debate.

Candidates are sales people. The issues facing not only Wall Street but the nation are incredibly important, but American citizens multi-task all the time.

McCain can as well if he wants to be the leader of this country.
