Overall, i think Lehrer did a fine job. Kudos to him.

He did his job of keeping the debate flowing and stayed in the background. He was surprisingly good.

Downright Delusional...

LMAO

“Chinese space walks” sound like illegal fireworks.

OMG I think I am only one that didn’t see debate Looter guy was there?

Monk what kind of question Looter guy would ask BOTH Canidates that so funny LOL!

[madameguinot]

I wish McCain woulda ended it with “America is STILL a great nation and I am proud to be an American”. Lost our standing-errrrrrgh.

Yeh, and I agree with you about al quaeda etc. Infuriating.

[OCC]

On a side note, Jim Lehrers bugged out eyes were creepy.

[maggief]

They refer to Bennett as the round table conservative but no disclaimer on the others.

Ok... Please give me your take... everyone...

I think Mac cleaned this guys clock... The next debate he’ll bury the guy.. The difference in my mind was over welming...

[Finny]

And a p.s. The MSM will say B.O. won even if he pukes on his presidential seal and lets his pants fall to his knees exposing his Al Jazeera Underwear and metrosexually shaved legs.

I'm sitting here giggling like an idiot, picturing it because it's SO TRUE! The Talking Heads would call it a food virus and wardrobe malfunction! NOT the kind of thing that loses debates for Democrats -- heck, it could happen to anybody!

Video of the constant “McCain is right” needs to be made tomorrow.

What a great idea! Just a montage... This is what Obama thinks of John McCain's policies..."You're absolutely right".."John is absolutely right"..."I agree with him"..."John is right"..."John and I fundamentally agree"..."I'm John McCain, and I approve this ad"...

LOL!

I wouldn’t worry about media spin. People who watched the debate are going to get ready for bed now. Only political junkies watch this post-debate crap.

This weekend, everyone will be watching sports.

Whatever their opinions of this debate... it will be their own.

[mware]

The narrative for the debate is not determined by the roundtables, the American people find their own narrative.

Very well said, at the nixon, kennedy debate, everyone claimed initially that Nixon won, the people perspective was much different.

I hope John McCain’s first executive order as president is to ban T. Boone Pickens from TV for life.

[snarkytart]

“The Obama cheering section at MSNBC and the networks will never concede that Obama did poorly.”
;
;

NOPE! Not even with a gun to their heads. And you know Obama lost this debate when all they have to talk about is how someone LOOKED. Such sickening nonsense.
McCain SCHOOLED Obama on foreign policy. O got defensive and edgy, and the MSM can go @(#* off, because everybody watching saw it.

[Tax-chick]

Secretary of Education?

LOL - that would be hysterical.

[Shqipo]

>>>every time they showed a side view of McCain with both candidates in view, McCain seemed apprehensive about even looking in Obama’s direction<<<
—I'm wondering if McCain has limited neck movement due to his injuries. It sure irritated Obama, regardless.

[Political Junkie Too]

Major Garrett on FNC saying O camp says McCain stuck in past with references going back years, while O is about the future and change.

Isn't that what experience is about, having a well of past experiences to draw upon when confronted with new events in the future?

No wonder the O camp is trying to diminish McCain's past experience.

McCain won, hands down.

Rudy on DNBC now, giving Brian Williams crazy.

Welcome to the national championship title chase!

[newnhdad]

“”So, 0bama won the mainstream media beauty contest?
Yes..

The media has something to work with. We need to pummel them with letters and e-mails to bring home the point that McCain has the better ideas.

“0bama was woefully ignorant and he was effective in showcasing this ignorance”

His ignorance has been on display for two years and nobody except Rush and Hannity has highlighted it. Why does anyone think that will change?
remember, the media meme is that “Obambi is JFK and McCain is Nixon”. we need to look at this through that prism because that is what they're working with.

Thanks for FR’s great performance Jim. Heads above many other sites, including No Quarter (close, though, but only a fraction of the users), LGF (sorry Charlie!) and even NRO.
