In case you wondered who won the debate
The Politico discusses Andrea Mitchell’s performance on MTP. In discussing the Saddleback semi-debate, Michell repeated false allegations by members of the Obama campaign that McCain cheated:
Mitchell reported that some “Obama people” were suggesting “that McCain may not have been in the cone of silence and may have had some ability to overhear what the questions were to Obama. He seemed so well prepared.”
The NYT kept the story going, apparently suspicious because “Mr. McCain’s performance was well received.” Must have been cheating, right?

Projection thy name is progressive. The progressive would cheat so he projects this failure on to the a man he finds to be a troglodyte - McCain. How else could the troglodyte have done so well?

No, it’s simply a cognitive habit they’ve fallen into. It’s also part of the culture of entitlement.
They deserve to win, you know, and if they don’t it’s because someone on the other side cheated.

I should mention, that it probably goes back a long way, but it’s been epidemic since the 2000 election.

Unfair! They must have cheated! Now we see the first line of defense from an Obama administration should they come out second-best in a negotiation, much less a situation where people are hurt. If a 72-year-old half-cripple beat me in any contest, mental or physical, and I suspected he had help, I would keep quiet. Man up!

The louder theleft howls the better the indication that they realize that they have been shown up. The Dalibama is just another lying politician of the Chicago school.
