The voters that will decide this election don't vote on style.

That would be the hope..... I wish I could be sure of that, but I'm not.

I believe Obama is a media product. McCain is a better candidate, he has better ideas, better experience and a better vision for the future.

____________

We went through the same tactics with candidate Bush. If you can see this, then don’t underestimate the public’s awareness of the MSM’s bias and their ability to see this too.

Obama: "I have a bracelet too."

That and the dozens of ums, ohs, and ahs when he couldn't remember the name of the serviceman on it!

Obama is basically a parrot and a spoiled child.

I consider that an insult to my parrot, who would be a far superior President.

Look, anybody with a brain saw Obama interrupting, sighing, making faces, becoming flustered and aggravated all night long.

LOL! Reminds me of the Bush/Gore debates in 2000. There was one moment when Bush was speaking and Gore walked up to him and tried to interrupt. The look Bush gave him was priceless! I wish I had a picture of it.

Do you think Obama looked good interrupting McCain?

Do you think Obama’s facial expressions looked good in the split-screen?

Do you think Obama provided more substantive answers than McCain did, instead of just reverting to the blame game in place of actual solutions?

(Serious questions, not meant to be an attack, I’m just baffled by your take on the debate.)

The Bracelet moment was beyond tacky. McCain gave a great story and Obummer has to me too w/a dead soldier. Sick.

Couldn’t find anything he could cut in the slowing economy to the point of irritating the moderator.

Half screens made him look like a condescending jerk.

Couldn’t respond to Mav’s contention to ending the war is the main issue of this campaign and why Black Oblack is dangerous. His response was a pointless babble-a-thon to finish the debate.

McCain shot down the Obogey.

Pray for W, McCuda and Our Troops

>>>Obama’s my father is from Kenya line was very weak compared to John McCain’s ending remarks.<<<

I caught that too. Why he chose to remind the American voting public that 1/2 his heritage is Kenyan is beyone me.

Maybe an attempt to play a racist card.....but if so, it was lame, ill timed and unconnected to anything.

Fred Barnes isn't worth the money FOX is paying him. He is totally useless tonight.

... and why does he keep insisting that Obama is ahead, therefore he wins with a tie like there is some scientific proof because this poll or that poll say so. Polls are mathematical/statistical models...not reality, just as global warming mathematical models don't make it a reality. He is conceding all authority to them by this point of view. Which candidate came across as a genuine leader with tons of experience and which came across as a skilled con artist?

Well, how much style does Bush have?
Hardly any, and he won. Chill out a little.

It occurred to me, that Jim Leher conducted a fair debate for both sides. Proves it can be done.

Style??? He was angry, arrogant and rude. Oh, and he interrupted constantly, raised his hand like a needy child and disrespected his elders.

I called a few undecideds after the debate and they all thought McCain seemed more knowledgable. The 2 seniors I called hated how condescending Obama was to McCain.

I forgot about that. That struck me odd at the time too. What a fool he is.

Bye Bye Barry.

I am unhappy because I think independents who don’t know much about the issues would see Obama as the CLEAR winner tonight. Sorry (and I am, very).

Not going to affect the opinion of the white Democrats who are going to be responsible for kicking Bambis butt. Give people more credit for their gut feelings. Obama is a reptile.
