jdobbin Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/10/12/mc...w-final-debate/ In an effort to energize supporters at his campaign headquarters in Arlington, Va., John McCain on Sunday may have also whipped up a little controversy with a remark that he'd "whip" Barack Obama's "you know what" at the next debate.The presidential candidates are meeting Wednesday in their final televised debate before the Nov. 4 election. I'm sure McCain comes from a long line that is familiar with the whip. Quote

I suppose it is not politically correct to exhibit competitiveness in any, even rhetorical, respect. However it is ok to make nasty implications about someone's ancestry with nuances of racist slavery. Too bad Barack didn't think of saying that - but perhaps he is not interested in playing the race card. Seems you are.

August1991 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 Jimmy Carter said teh same about Ted Kennedy. Three days after the embassy takeover in Iran, Senator Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts announced his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination. Incumbents rarely face a challenge from within their own party, but Kennedy was encouraged by Carter's weak poll ratings. When told of the Kennedy challenge, Carter snapped to reporters: "I'll whip his ass." LinkCarter defeated Kennedy but went on to lose to Reagan. Quote
stignasty Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 McCain has to come out swinging if he wants to stay close to Obama. At this point it's not even clear that a decisive win in the debate would make any difference. Quote "It may not be true, but it's legendary that if you're like all Americans, you know almost nothing except for your own country. Which makes you probably knowledgeable about one more country than most Canadians." - Stephen Harper
