I did not watch the Rick Warren love fest with “The One” and John McCain.   (The sound of “The One”s voice makes my blood boil and my eyes start to cross uncontrollably.)   I happened to catch the last 45 minutes of it, John McCain’s part, Sunday morning when I got up.  Since I’m voting for John McCain over “The One”, the answers were what I expected.

As the day went on, I began to see through blogs and Twitter evidently McCain did better with Rick Warren’s questions than “The One” did.   Specifically the question about abortion.  Pro-life groups want to hear “at conception” when people are asked about when life begins.  Seems “The One” didn’t prep his answers very well and made a stupid answer about pay grades (eye roll).  Yup, this man went to Harvard … just goes to show they’ll take anyone. (But we know how “The One” and his wife feel about abortion)

Abortion is a huge issue for a goodly amount of people in the country.   Those that are going to vote on one issue alone will vote about abortion.  (But then you know how I feel about one issue voters)  John McCain’s answer, one he believes in, made the right point with Rick Warren’s congregation. 

So now “The One” supporters are floating the idea, where else but in the MSM, saying McCain cheated by being able to hear the answers Obama gave.   (They both got the same questions btw).   This is so typical of the left.   Since they never learned how to lose gracefully they whine about someone cheating.   Instead of excepting the fact McCain did better on many questions than their “Messiah” did, the only reason they can think of is someone cheated.   They cannot fathom the idea that  *gasp*  McCain just happens to be the one more in line with the majority of the people in that audience.  

I have seen some clips of “The One” answering his questions.   Can you say uncomfortable?  He looked out of place and instead of appearing to answer from the heart, he was stuttering and stammering to find the right answer to get a standing O from the audience.  There were talking heads all day saying that “The One” has always been more comfortable talking about his faith than McCain, so it should have been “his arena.”  (”The One” has only talked about his faith when confronted with his mentors Wright and Pfleger, otherwise, I have no clue what bible he’s reading from to get his radical ideas.)

As I understand it, this was not a win or lose situation, but a forum where two people running for the highest office in the land answered the same questions put forth by a respected religious leader in California.  (No, he wasn’t Rev. Wright and Mr. Warren doesn’t believe in the Black Liberation Theology, so of course the questions were directed at the meat of the man, not the covering. )

Like the answers or not, to me this seems to have been the first real forum where teleprompters and speech writers weren’t able to control the message.

One flopped, one didn’t.

No one cheated.
