In the Saddleback Civil Forum tonight, John McCain defined being "rich" as making five million dollars.

Yup... you heard that.

FIVE MILLION DOLLARS!!

Huh?

I guess we should expect that from a guy who owns eight different houses and wears $500 shoes.

But seriously... you are not rich until you make five million bucks? Seriously?

Some more random musings...

I only watched some of the forum. But for what it is worth, I think that McCain had a better night overall. But if there is ANY doubt about how conservative John McCain is, tonight's forum should have ended any of that doubt.

And why does John McCain have to bring up the fact that he is a POW every opportunity he gets? He even talks about it when he was asked about what Jesus means to his life.

McCain was definitely on message tonight. He was full of talking points, and new exactly how to excite the Evangelical voters.

Obama didn't. Obama wanted to engage with the questions. Obama wanted to have a discussion rather than try to insert talking points into each answer. I give him credit for that.

But McCain's talking points were effective.
