Loading ...Señor McCain Of Panama Arizona’s Premature Declaration Of Debate Victory While Campaign Was [Supposedly] “Suspended” Backfires According To Next Morning Poll
Look — I don’t want to just kick an Elder[ly] Statesman and financial “guru” when he’s down, but it is worth noting the fact Juan Sidney McCain’s psychic abilities are, perhaps, not as sharp as maybe they were many years ago — back when the man was still in his early seventies.
As you all may recall, it was just yesterday morning — hours and hours before the McCain-Obama debate when the first Panamanian-born U.S. Senator in history had miraculously declared victory in a campaign ad in the Wall Street Journal — WHILE his campaign was officially “suspended” because our hero, Panama Juan Sidney, was busy putting his “country first” by lending his financial wizardry to help solve our sub-prime mortgage lending crisis screw up the popular Bush bailout plan (Source: Fox News) in Washington, D.C.
OOPS
It appears CBS News‘ Brian Montopoli is reporting a poll of “undecided voters” conducted by his employer along with Knowledge Networks says Señor McCain had spoken too soon — he apparently did NOT win the debate last night with Barry Obama after all (personally, I thought it was a tie). How could this happen? The “Panamanian Psychic” (as he is affectionately known in his homeland) failed, but let us be fair here — no psychic is 100% accurate — not even Panama John. I mean, let us not assume all of his future predictions will fail just because he missed on this one.
ADDITIONAL McCAIN PREDICTIONS TO WATCH FOR
According to my “GOP-Insider buddy” (yes, I do have one of those — and boy, oh boy, these guys are packing a huge “wallop” to the Obama Camp in the next few weeks thanks to — oh, HECK, that’s all I am allowed to say at this time — more on that one at a later time — you’ll just have to stay tuned), Señor McCain has made a few more predictions. Indeed, he is already predicting victories in his next two debates with Barry Obama and a Sarah Palin debate victory of Joe Biden next week. Do not be surprised to see those new “McCain Wins Debate!” and “Palin Wins Debate!” ads running on televisions, newspapers, magazines, blogs and all other media entities soon…
Perhaps even before the end of the day knowing this guy.

And now for some of my personal “faves” from the blogspheres (all “must reads” or they wouldn’t be here): Andrew Sullivan of The Daily Dish quite sharply points out the fact we saw a different, more “Alpha male” Obama than we did in his previous Clinton-Obama debates; Check out the fun “debate” debate going on over at Drudge Retort; Michelle Malkin (Right) surprisingly (just kiddin’) gives the win to Señor McCain (and yep — Rush Limbaugh stole the “gag” from me in case you were wondering who was first); John Cole of Balloon Juice says this could be a devastating loss for McCain and goes into great detail to explain why; Marc Ambinder of The Atlantic also has a lively “debate” debate going on; Turkana of The Left Coaster says Señor McCain proved himself a bitter old man who lacks the temperament and decency to lead anyone anywhere (quote); My fellow Alabamian, Dr. Steven Taylor of PoliBlog discusses the eye contact and body language of and between the candidates; Maha of The Mahablog (another great roundup over there) says Barry Obama helped shed his “empty suit” label; ALLAHPUNDIT of Hot Air (Right) surprisingly seems to be giving the debate to Obama; John Windish of The Moderate Voice says “Obama won” — period…
Well, Barry-boy didn’t live up to his rep as a master orator (or even master debater, much less a cunning linguist), and seemed confused, petty, and rude. And still kept to his vague generalities. John-boy, as expected waffled (pancaked?) on the econonmy and domestic policy, but seemed to be good, or at least OK on foreign policy. I don’t see any real clear winner, unless you want to say that because Barry-boy didn’t live up to his hype as the smooth expert on everything, that maybe John-boy edged him out.
One thing sure as hell – the Americian people lost.
(kind of like the old joke, Stalin, Molitov, and Beria were on a plane, it crashed, all aboard were killed. Who was saved? The Soviet People)
“One thing sure as hell – the Americian people lost.”
That’s for damn sure, bro! Like I said in one of the few serious statements in the piece — I did feel it was a tie. On the other hand, a tie was NOT what Juan Sidney needed. However; on yet the other hand — I do know what John-Boy’s “October Surprise” is gonna be and Obama needs to build him a firm 2-digit lead as soon as humanly possible to surive it.
All the O-Bomber lovers had better get to diggin’ up some serious dirt and/or learn how to fully-exploit Mr. Keating Five’s follies very well. I’d also advise those Vietnam Vets Against John McCain doodz to get busy with their 527′s — they’re gonna need ‘em
HINT: The October Surprise won’t have a damned thing to do with anything Barry Obama did. That’s all ya’ get for now though
Well GTL…all I can think of is that Bin Laden will be caught or killed…I’ve always thought they’d pull that hat trick.
I just thought I’d take a fair guess!
The other guess is that Sarah Palin will be by someone like Rudy G…I’ve heard that idea floating around also.
Heh… no
“will be replaced” is what I meant…but ok..heh
P.S.: My sincerest advice would be to start digging up the dirt on Cindy (McCain Wife Numero Dos) ASAP if you believe Barry O-Bomber would be a better president than Señor McCain
I already said too much.
I’m guessing it is the rumored recording of Michelle saying “whitey” at some point.
The Broncos get their first Bye week, in Kansas City!
I find myself in the strange position of supporting the hard core Republicans in wanting to shut down this BS bailout. I doubt I’d agree with the proposal they come up with either, but this is just more of the same Bush administration crap. They pass themselves off as incompetent, but they are very good at what they are doing, and what they are doing is stealing everything from the next two or three generations. This country is so down the toilet and, like in a courtroom, when the judge says that ignorance of the law is no excuse for committing a crime, the willful ignorance of reality by the righties in this country is no excuse for their complicity in the crimes being commmitted by this administration. It’s no coincidence that we’ve squandered about 700 billion dollars of national wealth murdering the women and children of Iraq for Exxon and BP and now we need about 700 billion dollars to bail out Wall Street. There are two reasons that anone would consider voting for McShame. Either they are rotten to the core and in on the looting of this once great nation and don’t give a rat’s ass about America, or else they just don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground. Dumb as dirt. Clueless. Ignorant. I don’t mean this in a mean way, and and don’t want to be disrespectful, but it’s the painful truth. You have to be totally detached from reality to want to continue any Bush policie at all, or to believe McKeating is going to change his multi-million dollar ways and fight for the little guy. It’s absurd. Ludicrous. The world is liooking at us wondering how we went insane. It’s very, very sad that McCheat is in this race at all.
GTL, you mentioned that Obama needs a double digit lead before the “october surprise” the GOP will reveal to the media. Well, it appears Obama is getting closer:
Gallup Daily: Obama Moves to 50% to 42% Lead
http://www.gallup.com/poll/110740/Gallup-Daily-Obama-Moves-50-42-Lead.aspx
This comes after McCain was supposed to blast Obama in the first debate because of McCain’s superior foreign policy experience. It didn’t happen so Sarah Palin can’t afford to mess up in her debate with Biden or we’ll probably see that double digit lead in the polls for Obama.
Even though Obama is Not in the clear, but with a possible McCain meltdown in the 3rd debate and the increasing pressure to throw Sarah out of the boat, who knows.

Um….excuse me here, but that isn’t quite true. The DNC and other leftist groups has tried to pass them off as incomeptent and ignorant. And a lot of their followers have bought into that. While at the same time painting them as evil geniuses able to pull off amazing feats of subterfuge worthy of a James Bond novel. Can’t have it both ways. If the left got fooled, it was by their own leadership who dismissed them time after time as incompetent. Looks like the lefts intellegence was wrong, and they got mislead, doesn’t it?
Gallup has also released their own post-debate poll giving Obama a very clear win.
I personally think Jim Lehrer should have won that debate.
g – no cigar, friend
Joe-It’s quite possible the left got bamboozled once again…I suspect the posibility that the so called leaders of the left are actually no more brilliant than the leaders on the right but fortunately for them, at least they have the facts on their side.
And what facts would those be?
Guns cause crime?
Redistibution of wealth encourages productivity?
Blacks and women are only 70% as good as white men?
All the warming of this interglacial is anthrogenic?
We can’t afford to drill for oil here, but can afford to shut down the economy while unproven technology is brought online to replace it?
Diversity is the path to unity?
Natural gas is not a fossil fuel?
That a white beating up or killing a black is automatically a hate crime, but the reverse is justifiable rage at social injustice?
That Jesse and Al really want blacks to succeed?
So many facts to choose from.
Tell us how you really feel!
“… Blacks and women are only 70% as good as white men? …”
Be careful, Joe, or our readers/co-bloggers might just figure out the FACT you are just another PISSED OFF (registered, Gun-Toting) Democrat, bro
Up to this point, the fact you are the Zell Millar of California might have gone unnoticed
