POSTED BY: Karen Lurie

Fox News calls Massachusetts, Maryland, Illinois, Washington DC, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware and Maine for Obama, and Oklahoma for McCain.

By the way, Brit Hume just called their setup "the strategery room." Aw...

Yup, I almost never watch Fox news.... but tonight it's an evil pleasure to watch them squirm.

Meet John McCain's Debate Coaches

POSTED BY: Dylan Ris

Much like great athletes, presidential candidates have coaches who help prepare them for big competitions-- in this case, debates.

While Sen. Barack Obama is being coached this year by John Hinckley's defense attorney, Sen. John McCain went with the more Godly pick of Brett O'Donnell, who gained fame as a Jerry Falwell "Agent of Intolerance"...

McCain's chief debate coach is Brett O'Donnell, who molded [Rev. Jerry] Falwell's Liberty University debate team into a powerhouse national champion. O'Donnell, according to a March 2006 New York Times profile of Liberty's debate team, is "an intensely competitive man."...

Falwell chose O'Donnell to make his school's debate team the best in the country to produce "champions for Christ." He may not be turning McCain into a champion for Christ, but he will try to create a champion nevertheless, just as he did with President Bush during the 2004 presidential debates.

McCain also has a stand-in for Barack Obama to help him simulate real-life debate scenarios. And the man playing Obama?

Sit down, now; it's a shocker...

Former Maryland Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele!

I know; I'm stunned too. I was sure they'd go with the corpse of Sammy Davis, Jr.

Steele, despite having only won a single term on the underside of a governor's ticket, is clearly the most popular black Republican not to have played professional football. He gets paraded around like a P.T. Barnum freak any time the Republicans see a TV camera, so it only makes sense that he'd get to play Black Guy #1 in the McCain debate prep session.

And on that note, it's a good thing for McCain that Cynthia McKinney wasn't invited to the debate.

Condoleeza Rice has been preoccupied with Russian affairs all week.
