Webb vs. Allen in televised debate

[adam]

I'll be watching, and something tells me that Jim Webb will crush the imbecile in a debate.

[adam]

Hey guys, lets try not to spoil it. For those of us in central time, the debate doesn't start for another 10 minutes.

Webb is a poor orator, but I think his answers are direct and bluntly answer the questions where as Allen seems like he is trying to be slippery.

[adam]

Well, the debates over now and I think that Webb (especially with the Macaca issue and such) slaughtered Allen. In all fairness however, I think Russert was putting a little more pressure on Allen than he did Webb...but I think Allen really cracked. Like at the end when asked about the flags and the noose and such, he started talking about football. What the ?

[adam]

I thought Allen totally blew it at the end when the Macaca comment and the Flag stuff came up. As I said, he started talking about how he came from a football family. Is he trying to imply that all football families are racist scum? You could tell he didn't have a good answer, yeah...he made it up...that's why he didn't pause or do anything to indicate that he was making something up on the spot.

Here's a shot at their feet from the debate:

Hmmm...either Webb has shell shock, or he got goofy political advise from an advisor. Either way, I still think he won the debate.

Are you referring to his combat boots? B/c he always wears them. They are his son's boots and he wears them as a sign of support for his son and every other Marine in Iraq.

I guess that makes it a little more respectable...but wouldn't a yellow ribbon pin or something have sufficed? Haha. We don't need people thinking he has PTSD.
