Well, not according to Frank Luntz’ focus group on Foxnews. What a bunch of idiots! This country is in deep doodoo if these people are voting.
John McCain is not known as a good debater (he's better ad-libbing), so even though this was supposed to be his "turf", some thought he might struggle against Obama, especially since he's been spending the last few days in DC.
Of course the Left is going to say he lost, and the right will say he won. What will the middle say???
Krauthammer said it was a ‘draw’ but BHO is the winner.
You have to be a dem in order to make that comment. I’m sure Will, Nooner, et. al. feel the same.
Frank Luntz’s undecided focus group was more “moved” by Obama. One of his new supporter actually said he didn’t stutter.
McCain did well, better than I thought. He could have spanked Obama on the financial issue, pointing out it is the democrats fault, but overall he was good. Obama stuttered and sputtered, failed to directly answer a few questions, and failed to acknowledge he was wrong about the surge. Overall, in terms of what really counts (grabbing independents), McCain did better.
I do have to say, even though I thought that McCain won, Obambi did his “uhhh” thing a LOT less than I expected. He’s been well trained.
I wouldn’t vote for a guy that has to check his Hero Bracelet to see the name on it when he talks about it, like Obama did.
What an idiot.
Throughout the debate, McCain pointed out with dexterity why Obama is not ready to lead.
Obama agrees with McCain ...he should vote for him
Mc Caine should use this as a line
“Senator. I appreciate that you agree with me on this issue, I hope I have your vote in November”
A draw, pure and simple. McCain was his usual strong self. Barry held his own. Unfortunately, this was supposed to be a debate where McCain buries Obama because of the foreign policy focus. That didn’t happen. Truthfully, it was kind of a bore. Kind of like a highly hyped heavyweight bout that goes the 15 rounds and the boxers hold each other for most of it.
I wasn’t going to watch because the thought of Obama posturing on stage made me so mad. But I did, and now I know why Obama refused to take part in town hall meetings with McCain. McCain demolished Obama six ways to Sunday. He took Obama to school on every issue. I could name a dozen moments when he exposed Obama, but here are two: When Obama reiterated that he’d meet with enemy leaders without preconditions. (”What’s the harm, how are you going to get anywhere unless you talk to them?”) McCain pointed out that this gives them legitimacy, as in that Iranian clown’s saying Israel is a stinking corpse. So it gives their disgusting statements legitimacy, (not a good idea).
The other moment, when Obama waxed eloquent and said he’d chase al Qaeda to their hideouts in Pakistan. He’d attack Pakistan. McCain looked stunned, and he said very quickly, You don’t say things like that in public, that you’ll attack an ally. It couldn’t have been clearer that Obama isn’t fit to clean the men’s room, let alone sit in the oval office. I’m sick of the MSM covering Obama’s rear end. It’s no longer fear of being accused of bigotry, it’s become propaganda.
This is shocking. Mr. Abouhalkah is a far-leftist. His columns typically excoriate “McSame” and Palin.
BOOKMARK!
My motivation, BTW, is pure nosy curiosity.
