Lying Maverick vs. Passive Hope

“I was a little disappointed the media called it a tie but I think that means, when they call it a tie, that means we win,”

John McCain, after saturday morning's incredibly boring debate.

McCain seems to employ three strategies:
1. Lie or naively tell falsehoods
2. Back up premises with the robust rhetorical device that having met X or visited Y provides him with unequivocal evidence and experience to comprehend, take control of and overcome X or Y
3. smile like a pedo

Obama, on the other hand
1. refuses to go in for the kill

I dearly hope this strategy works.
