Steph thinks Obama won; Joe the Plumber picks McCain
Rathergate.com — In case you wondered, ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos, the former Clinton (Bill) tool, declared that Obama won last night’s debate. He won tonight by staying cool under pressure. He won tonight by parrying the attacks of John McCain. The only thing that John McCain could have really done tonight to change the tenor of this campaign was to get under Obama’s skin, to force him into an error. That did not happen tonight. Another win for Barack Obama. Steph has declared Obama the winner of both other debates, and he decided that Joe Biden beat Sarah Palin. Joe Wurzelbacher, aka ...
