This was a terrible debate. Not McCain, the format was boring, no questions they didn't cover two weeks ago in the last debate, nothing new..... Where was the questions on abortion? NRA? Gay Marriage? etc.
Obama was RUDE!!!! I hope soneone times this because i guess he likely took 60% or more of the speaking time. No, McCain didn't call him on it because McCain has not gone beyong the senatorial politness ingrained in him over 26 years in the senate. Obama is a street kid and it shows.
If McCain had hogged like this Brokow would have called him on it. My complaint is McCain has to get past being polite.
Watching the graphs on CNN this was not a undecided audience. Obama just had to open his mouth and the graphs hit the highest points. McCain opened his mouth and the lines dove.... This was a stacked audience, I'd bet on it... not that I think McCain did great, I just think he didn't do as bad as the graphs were showing... and Obama put me to sleep droning on to the sound of his voice. He NEVER says anything, he just likes to talk to hear himself talk and what ever comes out of his mouth he doesn't care if it is true.
I channel surfed a few times before coming to the computer.
Every single time there was O speaking. Seems everyone was right, he hogged the night.
Doesn’t seem to have done him any good.
The Democrats are the future. It is unfortunate, but true. New Americans are dependent Americans and will vote for the party of government over and over and over again. Limited government is gone for good.
It was like Gore invading the space of Bush. Media saw nothing wrong with it but voters sure did.
Excellent post. Barry is just creepy. And Americans don’t say—POK-I-STAHN...TOLLI-BAHN. Give me a break!
I turned off the post-debate analysis as will most of the Americans watching it. My view: McCain connected on the economy. That is what he needed to do. He was personable, called the people by their first names, shook hands with the Navy Vet, and looked comfortable. Obama, again - platitudes, no details, smirks, etc. We know the MSM will say Obama won and the Obamaniacs are encouraged by e-mails to dumb down the online polls regardless if Obama had barfed all over the people in the front rows. So, most Americans are not going to go jump on their PC’s and vote in online polls. Was it a knockout? NO. But it didn’t need to be. The underlying message was, tough times call for EXPERIENCE. And Obama has NONE. People see that. That is the message and it will take some time to take hold. People will begin to doubt Obama. As people get scared, they gravitate to strength. Only one candidate shows that. This is beyond the Bradley Effect. It is going to be the OBAMA EFFECT. Ignore the MSM manipulators. Switch off the BS after the debate ends. No one needs to tell YOU what you saw. Except me... LOL.
By having the response of the audience visible it creates a false impression. Which is the reason for the instant response.
The media is disgusting yet no one calls them out on it.
Heard last week too that the veep debate people played a dirty trick on Palin and had her lapel microphone turned on way before the debate in hopes of catching her out. Biden’s mic was not turned on early.
