It totally blew our jag-shot game. A couple of guys got buzzed during the first debate. This time pretty near everybody was shit-faced or out. Are you sure it was only 19. It seemed like every other sentence.

Interesting tidbits, but I have to clarify: McCain did mention Palin in the first debate. I don’t recall him actually saying her name, but I clearly remember his smarmy grin when mentioning what a great pick he made for his VP.

Even though McCain didn’t mention Palin at all last night, she’s still the first thing you see when you go to McCain’s website, in the intro video. It’s like there’s two different campaigns going on here.
