THE FIRST OBAMA-MCCAIN DEBATE: MCCAIN BLEW AN OPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME: HE FAILED TO BLAME THE DEMOCRATS FOR THE FAILURE OF FANNIE MAE

  • MCCAIN DID WELL TONIGHT, BUT HE BLEW ONE HUGE OPPORTUNITY.
  • IN 2005, MCCAIN CO-SPONSORED LEGISLATION TO REIN IN FANNIE MAE.
  • THE DEMOCRATS BLOCKED IT.
  • MCCAIN SHOULD BE POUNDING AWAY ON THIS - AS HE HAS THE SURGE.
  • BUT HE DIDN'T.
  • IN FACT: THE WORD "FANNIE" WAS UTTERED ONCE IN THE WHOLE DEBATE, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THIS IS WHAT LIES AT THE VERY HEART OF OUR CURRENT FINANCIAL CRISIS.
  • THE OBAMA PEOPLE MUST BE SIGHING A HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF.
  • I SUSPECT MCCAIN RESTRAINED HIMSELF BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO EXACERBATE THE DEMOCRATS NEGOTIATING A BAILOUT PACKAGE.
  • THIS IS NOBLE OF MCCAIN - WHICH IS TYPICAL.
  • I HOPE HE'S MORE PARTISAN IN THE NEXT DEBATE.

I missed the debate! Too many phone calls came in last night, and they weren't calls I could avoid taking.

Is the debate online anywhere?
