“The fact that you keep bringing Ayers up says more about your campaign than it says about me.”

Well to tell you the truth, I am glad that its over…

With no more debates left in this marathon of an election…the chapter has turned to the final stretch…

20 days to go…

In his final attempt to swing the momentum in his direction…the immediate polls following suggest McCain didn’t succeed…

It was clear that this was his strongest debate performance…and perhaps Obama’s weakest…but I don’t think in any sense that it scored as a game changer in the eyes of hesitant independent voters…

I think McCain’s strong opposition to Roe v. Wade will resonate with the same female voters he thought would flock to his campaign when Palin was adopted to the ticket…

I think the split screen coverage did not favor McCain…who cannot hide his disdain for Obama…and often times came across looking uncomfortable and just plain senior citizen-esque…

I also feel like going into this debate most people have already made up their mind as to who they will choose when they step into that booth…

So at this point…And This Is My America is going to take a step back and let the people focus for the next 20 days…

However, we will bring official And This Is My America coverage of Election Day 2008…so be sure to check back as the 4th approaches…

Unless McCain and Palin or Obama and Biden says something outlandishly retarded…we’ll leave the day to day grind to the Huffington Post…

Till next time…

With the debates a few hours away…I can’t help but wonder what exactly is John McCain’s aim for tonight?

With the foreign policy debate out of the way… I am just not sure what else McCain can frighten people with regarding Obama when it comes to policy…

Unfortunately, it is quite clear that policy is not going to be at the forefront of the McCain campaign…no…these motherfuckers are in the land of desperation…

With their backs against the walls…they have resorted to the “Kitchen Sink” strategy employed by our dear friend Senator Clinton…

Under this strategy, McCain, Palin, and friends will spend the next 20 or so days hurling political dirt at Obama until its time to cast our ballots…

Only problem with this is…when you throw dirt at someone for the 2nd time…a lot less of it sticks…they have already been tarnished…

What else could possibly be said about Rev. Wright and William Ayers that is going to sound new and more threatening than it did months ago when it was initially brought up by Hillary…

Like I get it in Hillary’s case…policy for policy…they were so similar it wasn’t much else for Hillary to do once she started losing but get negative because there wasn’t anything else to focus on besides small differences in their respective health care plans…

But with this? It is so obvious that if this was a fight on policy vs. policy, McCain would lose…Why else would he waste the last few weeks of the campaign season highlighting alleged character flaws on Obama?

If John McCain was really the better choice…he and his campaign would just tell you that…instead of telling you why the other guy has had bad acquintances…

Gimme a break…

For every Jeremiah Wright…theres a Charles Keating in McCains’s corner…

Just like…for as much experience that Obama lacks…theres as much faulty experience that John McCain has under his belt….

So go ahead Mr.Maverick…take those gloves off…

But first start by acknowleding that you voted with Bush more than 95% of the time since he has taken office…a very telling display of just how much experience and knowledge you truly do possess…

Or is that too policy driven to be covered in the debate?? Perhaps you will just answer the question the way you want to…or just tell us a little bit about your track record…

So after all the hoopla, Mr. McCain is ready for the debate…

Unfortunately, so is the KKK…

Wow…this should be interesting…

As a young black man from New York City…the klan doesnt scare me one bit because

a) I’ve never seen them

b) I could probably fuck 1-2 of them up real bad…

c) They would never dare step foot in NYC in this day and age knowing the violent repercussions …

However, this debate is not in NYC, its in Mississippi…and out there?

Shit is real…

Not in terms of violence per se, but more in regards to influence…

With the recent AP-Yahoo News Poll, revealing that many whites are still hesitant to vote for Obama solely because of his race, tonight’s debate, and the two that will follow, are more important than ever…

You see in my opinion, I feel that there are many middle class whites who agree with everything Obama stands for…from his tax plans to his desire for change…but just cannot fathom themselves walking into that booth, clicking Dem, and pulling that lever…

So the question is, will these middle class, working class, white Americans essentially cut their nose to spite their face?

Or can the Obama campaign prove to them that John McCain does not represent them and their needs?

His first real opportunity begins tonight…

While individual speeches and fear-mongering ads are one thing…to have both candidates side by side debating the future of our nation makes the election that much more tangible…

Lets see if Obama can win a few voters over…

Stay tuned for the recap later this weekend…

Delay the debates???

You crazy old fuck…hell no!!!

Now is the best time to have them…not after the bailout when shit is nice and smooth…so you can have Palin come out and flash the audience some nipple and get them distracted…

Sorry buddy…Friday it is…

But don’t worry John…in the eyes of all the racist, ignorant, inbred Americans out there…your still their hero and best choice for the job!!!

The real deal folks…

No more statements pre-written by advisers…

One on one…mano y mano…

Be sure to catch the first of 3 debates between the Presidential candidates this Friday, September 26, live from the University of Mississippi….

We are guaranteed to laugh, cry, and probably vomit a little in our mouths when McCain answers any questions on taxes or the economy!!!

I wouldn’t expect anything less…

After all, this is my America…
