The Aftermath of Debate #2: "The Straight Talk Express Lost A Wheel on that One."

Here's the reaction, and boy, not surprisingly, it is a one-sided disaster for McCain.

Tom Brokaw has certified himself as a national disgrace. He was nasty and once again showed his preference to McCain. Brokaw though helped in how the debate format being an absolute joke, but it didn't help his buddy buddy.

Obama stayed calm and delivered the quote of the night: "The Straight Talk Express lost a wheel on that one."

From CNN, MoE 4%:

From Survey USA

29% say McCain was the clear winner.
18% say there was no clear winner.
After the first Presidential Debate, Washington State gave McCain equal marks with Obama. Tonight, Obama margin is almost 2:1.

From CBS:

The awesome Robert Gibbs makes Sean Hannity look like the fool he is:

The "That One" quote of McOrnery, insulting, classless, and funny:

So much so, that some dumb Republicans, trying to inflict more self damage on themselves (originally from Ben Smith):

A Republican official emails, on background:

The most memorable line of the night belonged to John McCain. McCain pointed out that “That One” vote for the 05 energy bill. Look for Republicans to note in coming days that “That One” also voted for higher taxes at least 94 times; “That One” has associations with unrepentant terrorists, etc…

The image:

But the SOP's/right-wing supporters though, are either pissed.......

Username 1:Everytime I think McCain might start making a run at this thing, he pulls something dumb out of his butt. For someone to prattle on about big government spending and then say something like that takes a lot of something, and it ain’t good.

Username 2:We all need a drink, my FRiend.

McCain is no conservative and he is no republican.

He is a disgrace.

.....Or dejected.

Well I have gone outside and pulled up my Mcain/Palin sign. This election is over. I will vote for Mcain but I know that come Nov. 5 Obama will be our president-elect.

I feel sorry for Sarah Palin. A once promising career will be permanently connected to the landside loss of John McCain. I weep for my children and their families.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, too funny to read.
