This is depressing ... McCain's answer on Russia was good, I thought ... And I am pro- O ...

I feel the urge to ditch this and be shallow and go shopping on Ebay----OY ...

I guess we all interpret things differently.
I think McCain is taking a butt-kicking.

I did not think it was that bad.
McCain did better at the end.
This is really very good compared to past Pres. debates.

To me, he seemed out of breath on many levels, but a butt-kicking---no ....

However, he did NOT change the game ...

I gotta agree now.
McCain kind of got in a groove.
I really thought he was getting kicked early.

I tried to watch but found Troy/Fl Atlantic more appealing. Lee Corso should run...

Hank Goldberg could be his running mate.

McCain was strong and solid tonight. I think he won the debate and he took a couple of good swipes at Obama.
Obama really didn't do anything to cost him, but he did seem to get away from one of his biggest sticking points. Which is consistently linking McCain to Bush and how the next 4 years would be a continuation of the last 8 years. Even if that's not the truth, thats enough to sway/scare many Americans to vote for Obama. I think he only mentioned once tonight.
Two down one to go, it should be interesting.

Definitely agree with this. Obama must keep linking McCain
to Rep. failure in running the Congress for ~6 years and
tying him to Bush.

Any thoughts from the conservatives on McCain's plan to buy up all these mortgages? That was too liberal even for me.

I thought McCain looked very old, sad and lonely.


I thought Obama won clearly, but not in any monumental way

The Navy Seal(?) guy helped McCain, and, I thought, showed some support for him by giving him the thumbs up and shaking McCain's hand

After the debate ended, as they worked the crowd with their wives, McCain ignored Obama's attempt to shake hands. Cindy McCain did exchange greetings with Obama. Michelle didn't seem to make much of an attempt to greet either John or Cindy

One last thing, I think every attempt at humor by McCain went thud.

or what?

he wins by less than a landslide?

the day the treasury secretary rang the fire bell was the day the election was over.

he could take the next 4 weeks off and win. crapping and using the flag as tp might put the result in doubt. but probably not.

i admire mccain. he'll be the best candidate i ever didn't vote for. and he took the high road tonight. no ayers. none of the character distractions.

he essentially conceded. he wouldn't get in the gutter for the 5% shot. all class.

i think arguing about the election any longer is for the angry wings. i'm out.















unless tim comes back.
