Obama is a socialist, a defeatist, a left wing liberal, and allied with America haters and racist like Wright and terrorists such as Ayres. He cannot win, his is not going to win.
Agreed!
Obama is all that you say but he is polished and speaks in such dulcet tones that it takes you a while to realize that he is saying nothing of substance. McCain speaks in a halting and uneven voice, but what he says reflects considerable experience and at least some degree of wisdom. I hope that enough people can still discern the difference between style and substance.
I agree. This was hyped like a heavyweight title fight. "McCain better come out swinging" etc. But there is a time and place for that and tonight wasn't it. The mood was too somber (maybe by design). If either candidate "came out swinging" they would have looked like a callous jerk.
So what we ended up with was a very traditional, almost sterile debate. McCain seemed to get in a few GOOD hits toward the end though, when the topics switched to Foreign Policy, the Military and National Defense--his strong suits.
