Both candidates were good, I had a tough time keeping my eyes open through the whole thing. I thought McCain was very strong on foreign policy and national security. Obama seemed very green in those categories and even seemed a bit rattled at times. His inexpierence showed and McCain tried to hammer the point home. Especially about him not getting it about Iraq. Obama seemed to be better with the national financial agenda (but there was a lack of details by both men). He keeps trying to link Bush and McCain in the same boat (pretty good strategy). But, he just doesn't come off being believable/creditable to me (obviousally I am for McCain). Just too much slick lawyer jive. Also he is too concerned with America being liked around the world. Nobody likes us execpt when they need us to bail/help them out with some sort of problem. Then they want to be our friends.
Bottom line result for tonight, since no one really got into deep details about financial ideas and plans (bailout still coming and everything else is very vauge) and then the whole foreign policy/national security. I would say that it was a small win for McCain.
