[Rhodes22-list] Politcal - Presidential Debate

[Brad Haslett]

Pete,

Obama did great!  He really did.  I was half expecting McCain, all 5'
9' or so of him to walk across the stage and kick Obama in the nuts.
McCain showed some restraint - maybe that's something he learned in 5
years of captivity. Trust me one this, I work with fighter pilots and
it took some discipline on his part to resist the challenge. I don't
think these "beauty pageant" debates are as important as they were in
1960 where Kennedy won the TV debate but Nixon won the radio debate,
now that we're in the age of the internet.

So the best guy is the one who is most "gentlemanly"?  My boss is a
first class prick.  I'm glad he's our prick and not the other sides.

Brad
