‘That One’ wins the debate
John McCain refereed to Obama as “that one” during tonight’s debate. Whatever he meant by this it didn’t stop “that one” being handed an overwhelming victory by the CNN analyst panel.
The final tally is in. During the debate, six CNN analysts and contributors scored in real time the performances by both presidential candidates. The number next to the pluses suggests the candidate made a “good point” while the figures next to the minuses indicate “missed opportunities.” For example, in the end, Republican strategist Alex Castellanos gave the debate to Obama with 32 pluses and 4 negatives as opposed to McCain’s 28 pluses and 13 negatives. The other five contributors and analysts included Democratic strategist Paul Begala, Sr. Political Analysts Gloria Borger and David Gergen, Chief National Correspondent John King, and Senior Analyst Jeff Toobin.
It appears that “that one” has managed to pulled off another fine victory with only 4 weeks to go until voting starts.

‘That One’ definitely won it. Two great quotes from CNN’s post debate.
On Obama’s 59% approval on the economy John King Said.
‘If these figures continue for another twenty days, it’s Game Over’
Which means we can return to whatever resembles normal life for the last week of the campaign. Apparently.
Former Clinton-Gore Campaign Manager James Carvell was his usual entertaining self.
‘With that kind of lead, it’s going to take something so dramatic for him(Obama) to lose this now’
He did then ramble on about bringing the gun dogs home from the hunt, it’s over!! in that fantastic southern drawl. Which made me laugh, and sent me to sleep happy.

maybe the headline on The Sun will be “It was That One wot won it”.
If Sun readers cared about the American election, that is…

I’d phone it through now, and get the cheque. It will save them some headscratching in the early hours of Nov 5th. I think that’s going to be pretty close to it though.
