Will TBPNTOTV!!!** call out IWRC* Palin? Will all this pithy opining increase the number of exclamation points at the end of TBPNTOTV!!! to four? Will their political biases be revealed... again? Let's listen:
Wolf Blitzer: October surprise?
Candy: It's more mythology than anything. It was a September surprise: The economy. Nothing will change that storyline... maybe something overseas, but...
Wolf: Terrorist connections attack on Obama?
Gloria Borger: They have to turn the page. The economy helped Obama, McCain's losing. They have to create the question of whether Obama is safe enough. They're chipping away at his character. But others say McCain needs to prove himself on the economy, not attack Obama.
Wolf: Obama immediately came out with an ad responding to the attacks.
Ed Henry: They learned from the last election to respond, plus the It's The Economy Stupid one of '92. The McCain camp is sending Palin to Nebraska. They have to fight for states.
Wolf: Nebraska? This could be a close contest, electorally.
Candy: The polls gel at this point. McCain has to chip away, since the doubt about Obama is already created. He also has to argue "why him?" on the economy.
Gloria: The bailout had earmarks in it, and McCain didn't address that. They both try to approve the other candidate is riskier. "Erratic" is the new buzzword.
Ed: The McCain camps dismisses that word. Palin is a big deal in terms of her attacks. The "inexperience" went out the window on Obama, and she's using these attacks instead. Maybe that was a mistake. They took experience off the table.
Candy: Obama always said he'd be glad to debate judgment and temperament. That's out there, and McCain didn't help himself with the Des Moines Register interview. He knew he lost in 2000 because of his temperament. He has to be careful.
Wolf rolls tape of SNL's Palin debate spoof. How much does it hurt?
Gloria: Palin lost poll numbers. She did fine in the debate, didn't embarrass herself like she did with Katie Couric. Now she'll help rally the base.
Candy: Absolutely it hurts! Letterman, SNL, Leno, Jon Stewart all hurt.
Ed: I agree. There are people who connect and get angrier when they see it, some disconnect, some feel it's a pile on.
Wolf: It's a new media out there.
TVPICYMIS!!!***
Roy Blunt, on Obama ad: He was in contact with me every day. He came back and changed the discussion. He wasn't erratic, he was purposeful and selfless.
Tim Pawlenty: McCain is a maverick, populist. He can win in the upper midwest. Dems have the advantage, but he can win.
Ed Rendell: Pennsylvania focused on the issues, economy. Obama's plans are better for their families.
ADDENDUM: Commenter Ady (and Logan!) says hi from the OBAMA SPEECH today!
