This country is in trouble if he gets in
The defining moment of the debate was when Joe Biden choked up at losing his wife and daughter in the car accident and watched his two little boys fight for life all those years ago but it's still so painful for him (and one is going to Iraq today). And then, cut to Caribou Robo-Barbie, who didn't even seem to notice and just chugged right on with her talking points. At least take a second to say, "I'm sorry for your loss" before going back into battle mode. I don't even think she was listening at that point because she was winking in that cutesy way and planning for her next remarks, but if she was listening, that's even sadder. And even if SP didn't bomb (although "nu-cue-lar" was too much for me), I'm not forgetting the Couric and Gibson interviews, and I don’t think a lot of people will. The whole picture counts, not just one decent night.
Thank
>> Yes by real I mean someone who hasn't been in Washington for years and has been caught up in all the lies.
So what about McCain?

I was NOT laughing at hius tragety!(I would never do that, I have lost too many family members in the past 10 yrs to ever do that)
