Reply #15: I finally just saw this

And I agree with your analysis, Tay -- I felt right away that Wallace was trying out GE GOP talking points and attacks. JK was ready for ALL of them, which was nice to see. Of course, not every RW media pundit will be as wildly inept and scattered as Wallace was! I mean, he was trying very hard to be relentless and trap JK, but he was so weak-minded and ineffectual that JK barely had to work to hit his ridiculous pitches out of the park. CW shifted talking points so quickly that they often didn't even follow logically.

Not a fair match in any way and JK was very clearly the classy, intelligent adult with the answers, while CW was the whiny kid trying desperately to win an argument with a different stupid tactic every second. To continue the analogy, CW looked like he was cranky and stupid because he was late going down for his nap, while JK looked like the patient, slightly appalled grownup, even a little amused at the bad behavior of a child having a tantrum.

At the end of the interview, JK had clearly made his points about the difference between Senator McCain and Nomination McCain and how wrong McCain has been on the war, as well as how strongly McCain has allied himself with a whole slew of catastrophically wrong Bush Administration policies, votes and decisions.

Great JK appearance in a fundamentally silly interview situation.

Edited to add that I loved that Obama was assumed throughout to be the nominee and also to thank you from me, too, Tay, for the links!
