From the first question it's obvious that McCain was fed the questions!

[mrreowwr_kittty]

The one about the 3 people he finds inspiring.

:grr:

[Diane R]

1. I completely agree with this. Are we certain he was sequestered? He was clearly prepped. n/t

[SoCalDemGrrl]

2. Absolutely must agree with you! McCains answers seemed very rehearsed.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

3. I'm now listening to the one about "where you went against your party"

Again, it's clear that he was prepared and rehearsed.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

4. "On what issue have you changed your mind?" On offshore drilling, of course! nt

[opihimoimoi]

5. He named the 3 justices so quickly it was obvious

[curious one]

6. Completely agree with this.

unlike Obama he was auto answering without thinking. I didn't think that he answered some of the questions. Maybe he didn't hear the question well!!!!

7. This is from the transcript. I did a search for 'Supreme' and 'justice'

and this is the first I came across. I had searched in the prior doc where McCain's interview started and nothing. So no, Warren had not mentioned the Supreme Court Justice question, yet McCain was aware this was one of the questions:

10 A UNION -- A UNION BETWEEN MAN AND WOMAN, BETWEEN

11 ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN, THAT'S MY DEFINITION OF MARRIAGE.

12 ARE WE GOING TO GET BACK TO THE IMPORTANCE OF SUPREME

13 COURT JUSTICES.

14 Q WE'LL GET TO THAT.

15 A ALL RIGHT. OKAY.

16 Q YOU GOT ALL MY QUESTIONS, GOOD.

So, is it true that neither Obama nor McCain were supposed to have known about the questions beforehand? I thought I had heard that was how it was supposed to have been.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

10. He was all over it, wasn't he?

Like he knew what was coming and maybe jumped the gun a bit.

[liberalmuse]

11. Yep.

Or he's psychic, LOL. Naw. He was given the questions beforehand.

[AZBlue]

13. Do you have a transcript link? I googled but couldn't find it.

Thanks!

[grantcart]

8. I agree it does seem that way

It could be that his prep team was very effective in anticipating the questions but he wasn't surprised by any of them.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

9. Jesus god! He just rattled off the three SCOTUS justices like he'd memorized them.

Because he probably had.

This is DISGUSTING!! :puke:

[mrreowwr_kittty]

12. WHY IS MCCAIN GETTING TO ANSWER A QUESTION THAT OBAMA DIDN'T?????

I don't care if there "wasn't enough time". He's getting to do yet another stump speech on National Security.

Rick Warren, you suck ass. :grr:
