McCain-Obama debate pulls average early rating

My mentality going into the debates would be that the effect of either candidate doing well would surely make a difference. Now I am getting the sinking feeling that, in the absence of a good sound bite, the voters pretty much know where they stand on the these candidates. Something major for the media to pick up on that would either showcase one candidate or hurt another is about the only real game changer I see left (apart from an October surprise). I do think that the Biden/Palin debate will be one that will either provide the Palin haters with even more blog fodder or she'll knock it out of the park and silence her critics once and for all. I get the feeling that unless the McCain camp decides to throw caution to the wind and let Palin just be Palin than we should probably expect her performance to be rather safe. I do believe that McCain outperformed Obama in the Friday night debate, but without a stand out moment it did nothing to advance his campaign and did nothing to hurt Obama, so therefore, the win goes to Obama.

Burglary Alert For Tucson Foothills

When is our elected leadership ever going to step up to start addressing this issue of crime in our city? We have been having quite a bit of fun as of late with the stories of stolen political campaign signs, but I am seriously beginning to feel like everyday people think it's ok to steal and vandalize for the sake of a difference in politics, and it relates to the mentality that someone who would commit a major crime might be thinking. In the face of a lack of leadership and shortage of law enforcement what incentive is there for someone who would commit a crime to think twice about doing so? We need a complete change of leadership this November.

 Sole race could swing supervisor majority
You want to see real change it starts with the electing of not only Tim Bee, Harry Shaw for Pima Sheriff, and Brad Roach for County Attorney, but we also have a chance to change the Democratic majority inside Pima County with the removal of Sharon Bronson and the electing of Barney Brenner.

Someone stole my McCain/Palin Yard Sign!...and I am not the only one!

(I have since replaced my original sign with a new one, we will see how long it lasts)
Because of my theft we launched "McPalin Justice". Someone decided that because of a difference of political opinion and ideology they were justified in stealing my sign (I also have a Harry Shaw for Pima Country Sheriff which they left up). As a result and to show my continued support for McCain/Palin, I am now having my car decorated as a rolling McCain/Palin billboard. Mike at Ruthrauff Auto is kind enough to paint the car while Element 7 studios, inc will be providing graphics.

Here is a preview of the amazing paint job by Mike from Ruthrauff Auto Sales!  and sample of what the graphics will look like from Mike at Element 7 studios:

Below is a few of many emails I have recieved from Tucsonans who have had similar things happen to their GOP yard signs. Plus listeners who also have decided to do something about it.

Hi Jon,
First I just wanted to say I enjoy listening to your show!
 I wanted to share with you my story of my McCain/Palin yard sign incident.  I put my sign up the day before I heard of yours being stolen.  Today is Friday, the sign lasted three days.  The sad thing is my daughter, who is 13 years old was coming home from school when the neighbor came up to her and handed her the sign that had been clearly run over by a car.  He said that he witnessed someone come into my front yard, tear the sign out of the ground, throw it into the street and run over it again and again.  Jon, I live in the foothills where the homes average value is $400,000 and above.  It amazes me what these radical Obama followers will do!

Go McCain!

Sincerely,
___________

I regularly listen to your show.
Anyway, I heard a caller advise Thursday morning to spray the sign with cooking oil to make it slippery for a thief. I received my sign in the mail on Thursday and set it up - along with the cooking spray. I live in a new neighborhood and wouldn't you know it, my sign didn't last the night. Nowhere to be found, but I laughed all day Friday knowing that they got oil all over themselves, and maybe their car, in the process. Luckily I have another sign. I will be going to the home improvement store for roofing mastick to coat the metal and edges of the sign this time (basically make a border). Maybe some honey or syrup on the sign itself.
Like you said, the left somehow feels justified in steeling a sign to save others from having to see it.
I don't expect it to last very long, but what can you do? I still have my bumper stickers.

Thanks for your show,
Listener/Fan

Hi John,

Two of my boyfriend's neighbors popped up with Obama signs.  We looked
at the signs and decided we had to do something.  Of course, I believe
in free speech and it never occurred to us to rip the signs down.
Then we heard your show and felt that the rolling McCain/Palin billboard
was a better idea.  I called up Mark at Testimonies Vinyl Graphics and he agreed to do our truck.  Many thanks to Mark on a great job and great design.  Just
in the one day we have driven the truck, we have gotten numerous honks,
thumbs up, smiles and nods.  The truck has also sparked some political
debate with acquaintances.
Thank you,
___________
