A 'steady hand'

Posted: Tuesday, October 07, 2008 10:34 PM by Carrie Dann

From NBC's Carrie Dann
McCain
closed with a theme that he used once before in this debate: "a steady hand on the tiller."  Sounds like a direct pushback on Dems' efforts to paint McCain as "erratic," hot-tempered, and unreliable under pressure.

I also noticed that in the post town meeting that Mrs. McCain didn't shake hands and greet the people as Mrs. Obama did. She walked around with hands behind her back. She even disappeared before Sen. McCain did.  What kind of First Lady Would She Make?
Not!
that ain't racist, you want racist? I popped into the fox running live blog and I would have thought i fell into a KKK meeting, I kid you not. It isn't secret and it isn't private it is out in the open and Fox is giving it its voice. Someone should report on that!
