In order to make a decidedly dull "town hall" debate a little more bearable to watch, I hit the pause button (I heart Tivo) after the first five minutes,and sought out a pencil and a piece of paper.
I am happy to report that John McCain did not use the word "maverick" one single time. It would appear that his advisers got the memo to drop the over used title. Unfortunately, it was replaced by "reformer"...which was used five times. The bright side to that is that we now know that someone on his campaign staff owns a thesaurus.
Hopefully, that same someone will look up an alternative to "my friends". I lost count at 162.
As for Obama...well evidently some one told him that his lead in the polls widened by a percentage point every time he used the terms "Bush administration" and "the last 8 years"...and so, despite the fact that he is NOT running against the 8 year Bush administration, he managed to use those terms a minimum of 11 times.
I guess my main problem with this whole election is that I can't get behind either candidate 100%... Instead of voting for McCain, I find that I am voting against Obama. Honestly, I don't believe that either candidate will make this country a better place...
