Who Won? "That One"

"My friends", it is clear that "that one" won the debate. Out of all the words used during the debate, only two will matter, "that" and "one". What a condescending, undignified, unpresidential way to behave. This "my friends", is what the American voters will remember about this debate. McCain, a tired, cranky, frustrated shell of his former self, referring to another United States Senator, who was standing a mere few feet away, as "that one". Check mate.

This election is over, "my friends". The polls agree. Let's have a look.

There you have it, "that one" wins, hands down.

And let me just say, Tom Brokaw was terrible as moderator. Honestly, Yes or No answer, Is Russia once again an Evil Empire? What kind of idiotic question is that? Out of all the questions submitted, Brokaw thought that one was worthy of being asked. Idiot. There was absolutely nothing to be learned or gained from asking that question.

And for those of you who had to take a drink every time McCain said "my friends", that'll teach you. 19 times, "my friends", 19 times! Couldn't he have just winked and showed some cleavage instead?
