No "bounce" for McCain on this one.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;And I am very disappointed in what the McCain team has done to Sarah Palin. They are so concerned with her "staying on message" and preventing a possible gaffe that they won't let her take to the streets and be herself. She could be a huge asset to the campaign but instead has become just a pretty face. And I expect that she is even more disappointed than I am.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7918467013889155723/5208351697720459230/comments/default/1500911620752203230'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7918467013889155723/5208351697720459230/comments/default/1500911620752203230'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.khakielephant.com/2008/09/john-mccain-wins-first-debate.html?showComment=1222547292172#c1500911620752203230' title=''/><author><name>Khaki Elephant</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09042470098012648139</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13087978289291807116'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.khakielephant.com/2008/09/john-mccain-wins-first-debate.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918467013889155723.post-5208351697720459230' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7918467013889155723/posts/default/5208351697720459230' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918467013889155723.post-8587933068368638398</id><published>2008-09-27T16:21:27.374-04:00</published><updated>2008-09-27T16:21:27.374-04:00</updated><title type='text'>I agree that McCain probably won the debate, but h...</title><content type='html'>I agree that McCain probably won the debate, but he lost in that even though this debate was about his strong suit, it won't catapult him in the polls.  Obama did well enough to meet the competency threshold.  This means Obama will probably remain ahead for the next 7-10 days until the next debate.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;And let me ask you this, since I know you are big on Palin.  Did you find it strange that she wasn't on TV last night spinning for McCain after the debate?  Biden was spinning for Obama, but Palin was nowhere to be found.  Has she impressed you, or are you feeling disappointed?</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7918467013889155723/5208351697720459230/comments/default/8587933068368638398'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7918467013889155723/5208351697720459230/comments/default/8587933068368638398'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.khakielephant.com/2008/09/john-mccain-wins-first-debate.html?showComment=1222546887374#c8587933068368638398' title=''/><author><name>Anthony Palmer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00043374303541804437</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.khakielephant.com/2008/09/john-mccain-wins-first-debate.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918467013889155723.post-5208351697720459230' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7918467013889155723/posts/default/5208351697720459230' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918467013889155723.post-2474081094040255515</id><published>2008-09-27T08:42:29.990-04:00</published><updated>2008-09-27T08:42:29.990-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Unfortunately I had to delete the first comment th...</title><content type='html'>Unfortunately I had to delete the first comment that was dropped on the post: it was the type of "brave" profanity-laden rant we've all witnessed from that fact-deprived creeper "Anonymous."
