Pathetic
I voted. But since I am going through a foreign IP, I wonder if they know the difference.
McCain missed numerous opportunities to respond to accusations by Obama on various sensitive subjects while Obama missed no opportunity to refute McCain. Obama essentially agreed with McCain on most foreign policy issues except the Iraqi situation - thus preempting McCain's positive points on that subject. McCain tended to inject more patriotic themes into his presentation, which, while a positive in a Republican Primary, or in communicating with people like us, has minimal impact on the average independent interested more in how McCain's views impact him directly.
But more to the point - foreign policy is viewed as a McCain strong point and he should have been able to hit a knockout blow to Obama at this point and he did not. All Obama needed to do was maintain his ground in this debate and he did that very well - more so than he required.
Thanks to the poisoning of the political atmosphere by Bush II and his total incompetence in so many areas, the average unaligned American voter feels a change is needed in the administration in Washington and to them that means the party controlling the White House, even though the Dems and RINOS have controlled it for the entirely of Bush II’s term of office.
All of this, together with the dismal polls seem to imply an Obama Presidency, absent some “October Surprise” by the Republicans. But given their customary ineptitude, this is unlikely.
If the GOP can't beat the Dems in 2008, its past time to abandon the GOP and its moribund leadership.
