At BEST I can’t see how anyone could say Obama hasn’t spent the whole night on the defensive, trying to play catch-up.

Unfortunately, after the debate, I’ll have to avoid the MSM, all of whom will declare Obama a winner by a landslide.

[Citizen Soldier]

Obamea’s reply on Georgia is weak “I am not amused” kind of answer. He can’t catch up to McCain in this area either.

[frogjerk]

McCain is cracking me up. He has been EVERYWHERE and knows EVERYONE. He is wiping the floor with Obama. LOL

yep

[kabar]

The Russian peacekeepers have been in Georgia since 1993 and under a UN agreement. Obama doesn’t know what he is talking about.

From the comments, Sen. McCain seems to have come out on top; what's your opinion?

I am sorry I missed the 'bracelet' episode!

[andy58-in-nh]

It was fun just now watching McCain talk about Georgian and Ukranian politics in detail and Obama didn’t have a friggin’ clue what he was talking about.,

[BurbankKarl]

Obama is such a Noob.

[Gondring]

If we actually do this, if America is stupid enough to elect this guy, I am literally going to go from news junkie to news hermit. I wont watch. I CANT watch. I will check out of politics and news for about 3 and a half years.

I did that in '93.

[highpockets]

Sen McCains knowledge of Russia and the former soviet union countries seeking NATO status is great.

How many times has little barry said he agrees with "Senator McCain"?

[RedCell]

I strenuously object, your Honor!

[Spatha]

I’m done...

McCain B+
Because of slow start, but solid remarks

Obama C-
Because of rudeness and inexperience at debating issues beyond the scope of his knowledge

[ShandaLear]

Bambi rambling again. WTF is he saying? No one knows.

[Tanniker Smith]

"I have a bracelet too!" His Say's "do not resuscitate"

LOL!!

[mkjessup]

“That’s exactly how I feel. I’m amazed these two guys were elected to Congress. Any decent high school debate team would have torn either one apart’
Except - and this is big - debaters in High School do not have to measure EVERY word that can come back to haunt them for the rest of the campaign.

HEY Txzman! You just took those two wannabe 'experts' to school on the topic of how to debate!

Nice shot, I can see the smoke as they spiral down towards the water...LOL

[FreedBird]

Many of the MSM talking heads belong should be sent back to the minor league. They are like Barry, lack understanding but can remember talking points.

[Homer_J_Simpson]

Howdy, gator

Hillary has got to be watching and thinking, “How did I lose to this guy?”

Maybe I misunderestimate Hillary, but I don't think she would be doing much better. The rats just don't go up against grown-ups in a fair fight very often.

[Pinetop]

Obama just lied about his initial response on the Russian invasion of Georgia.

[TNCMAXQ]

Even as a McCain supporter I will admit 0bama is doing well. However, he is coming across as very serious and has shown no humor really. McCain seems more natural at least.

Must be the 4th or 5th time he just said he agreed with McCain on some issue. Sounds like Nixon’s ineffectual me-tooism comments against Kennedy.

[tgslTakoma]

Obama loooks and sounds like a spoiled child tonight McCain knows his facts. Obama repeats ONLY soundbits. McCain is teaching him the ways of the world tonight. I’m surprised. And very impressed

And McCain is making all his good points unrushed and very clearly.

Any bets on if Obama starts smoking cigs again tonight, post-debate?

How 'bout heavy drinking?

Someone upthread wondered if 0 is looking grayer. I try to avoid looking at 0 because I despise him, so I may be wrong, but it DOES look like his hair’s got more gray than it did earlier this year, when I could still stand the sight of him. Is it possible his handlers are putting artificial gray coloring in his hair to make him look mature and presidential, and if so, what could be more pathetic?
