Thanks.. actually, that’s better .. the CNN was bound to be tilted to Obama in any case. AOL draws from a lot on the left but others as well, that’s not the case w/CNN.

What am I thinking now??

LOL! When I read that the first thing that popped in my head was "cookies", so I'm going to go with cookies--possibly chocolate chip :)

‘and to most of the voting public’? Who said that?

I did. Let's just say I'm cynical about what motivates the "undecided middle."

Meanwhile, Lurch was getting an orange tan.

LOL.. I remember two people dressed up as orange dolphins outside FoxNews during their morning show.. Hilarious!

“Yes. If you have to concede your opponent was right eight times, that betrays a lack of self-confidence. And people will notice. I think Obambi just knocked out the underpinnings of his candidacy tonight. If McCain is right, he must be the better man. And people are not going to dispute it. What’s damaging about it is not even the MSM is going to be able to spin or explain away the fact that Obama conceded the debate to McCain.”

The MSM have already begun spinning, saying this shows how Obama is willing to reach across the aisle to get things done.

Once Mav had him on the earmarks he was able to keep Obummer off balance all night. Oblack never could explain why he had $900 million worth of pork in those bills.

The Presidential act got stale after awhile along with the obvious canned answers. McCain nailed him on Pakistan and Trashcanistan so many times he had to feel like he was inside a drum.

The bracelet moment was touching for Mav and then Oblack comes up w/a bracelet was a Jerry Springer moment. Waving a dead body who you don’t even know the kid’s name? Pathetic.

Wasn’t even close.

what is their actual scientific poll, this is just you text in a vote thing.....not scientific at all?

Call me in 5 years, when you reach your 10th anniversary at FR.

Oh good grief. Not my fault you're a BO fan. Chill out.

I missed CK’s comments, but I think he was commenting on Barry's style, not substance. Unfortunately, Bill Clinton proved that may be enough in a close election... during peace and prosperity. In any other time, Obama would be leading by 20 points. With all the crisis going on right now, I think the American people will vote for a known quantity rather than gamble on a JFK wannabe that promises everything, but has never delivered anything.

I hope Jeremiah (was a bullfrog) comes back SOON in a big way. We are running out of time! Tell them to hurry up with the ADS. .I would show a video or Jeremia with Obama nodding every time Jeremiah said a hateful, racist or anti-American statement and keep putting on the screen the letters Obama’s pastor mentor and advisor for 17 years! LOL. Game Over!lol

I’m watching the rerun on CNN so I’ll try and catch it. If he said it, it was either weakly stated or lost on many. He should have pounded it home and also made mention that Obama was the third highest recipient of Fannie Mae contributions during his short stint as Senator.

[cruise_missile]

Also, I have a bracelet too!

Ahhhh errh aahh what’s his name:

Obama was “in the zone,” no stuttering, etc., for a very long time.

I disagree. There are several ways to see whether a debater is 'in the zone' or not. (1) The intonation when he speaks. McCain managed to speak with low voice and slowly when he made his point. 0bama's intonations showed he was frustated hence kept high pitch almost all the time. (2) Ability to inject humor while scoring points. McCain's had several succesful attempts there. (3) His control of his emotion. Several times, both in the first and second parts, it's obvious that 0bama couldn't control his emotion and tried to interupt McCain.

The final point is particularly interesting as we heard earlier today that 0bama's campaign tried to make McCain angry. What happened was the other way around.

[Democrat_media]

Why is Kerry the Marxist/Democrat Orange? lol

If you can't look at these things objectively

Even the DU'er's are very disappointed with the Obama's performance tonight.  He did not do well.  He was rude, cocky, and had to agree with McCain several times.  He was nervous, scripted and could not think out of the box,  McCain was direct, had answers and all Obama could do is try and pass blame.

It is already being pointed out that Obama lied at least twice during the debate. Kissinger has already put out a statement saying that Obama was untruthful when he said twice that Kissinger agree with him.

He lied about this too...

From Obama's website: Diplomacy: Obama supports tough, direct presidential diplomacy with Iran without preconditions. Now is the time to pressure Iran directly to change their troubling behavior. Obama and Biden would offer the Iranian regime a choice.

When I typed it I was thinking of putting on my pajamas. BUT instead, I had a fun size Hersey bar. I'm going to call it a win! ;-)

"I have a bracelet, too."

[KJC1]

Watching a replay of Obama talking about the bracelet his eyes are, without question, looking down. Talk about a lack of a bold position, and also possibly looking for notes. It was bad watching it the first time, but watching it again, his eyes are what to watch.

[rwfromkansas]

Has Fox had a scientific poll yet?

CNN has, and it had Obama ahead by 10.

For all purposes, I think this will end up being a draw unless McCain really hits some things hard like the bracelet, agree stuff.
