I never did figure out why he smeared orange stuff all over himself. It’s really kinda disturbing.

I almost fell out of my chair laughing over that one.

I thought Obama got the edge on style points -- he did sound better than McCain did. My pont

Whatever.

0 has a better voice. That gives him an advantage on "style," but that said I thought he came across as very pedantic for most of the debate, and argumentative on the few occasions when he tried to show fire.

They both lacked precision, but I think Mac stayed on message much better in the foreign policy part of the debate. I'm not concerned with his slightly off performance at the opening -- the economy is going to be revisited over and over, and once the "rescue" is passed that is going to change the whole complexion of how the debate gets framed.

I think McCain did some real damage on Afghanistan, but could have hit it harder. BHO's recourse to "Joe Biden runs the full committee and said it's OK I didn't have hearings" was an enormous misstep: it cast him as subordinate to his running mate. He should've just ignored it. Since this criticism was bound to come up, I'm surprised 0's team didn't have a better answer.

"I've got a bracelet, too," was incredibly lame.

Gretta on Fox News just showed the clips comparing McCain and Obama where Obama couldn’t remember the name on his bracelet.

Judging from Luntz’s pool, not much.

Yeah, especially when Obambi has already lied (or flip-flopped without admitting it) on his own position, AND Obambi has just tried to use Henry Kissinger’s foreign policy prestige to support the Obambi position.

So, not only is the Obamanation flailing around about his own position on a critically important issue, but he is recklessly misusing Henry Kissinger’s name to try to claim non-existent support for the incoherent Obambi position.

If a Republican did something like this in a Presidential debate they would be flayed alive in the MSM. Think of what they did to President Ford over the (admittedly dumb) claim that the Poles were not subjugated by the USSR (I always suspected that what Ford was trying to say was that the Poles are a free people at heart and do not accept the legitimacy of Soviet dominance, but of course Ford botched whatever he really meant to say — he certainly knew that the Poles were part of the Warsaw Pact and not free to oppose the USSR on anything significant).

If 0 was doing all the annoying Gore-basmic stuff people on this thread are claiming, I’m not sure how anybody can think he won

He was and it made him look very childish.

Oh good grief. Not my fault you're a BO fan. Chill out.

Sigh. You're the one who pulled the idiotic "DU" ploy -- I was simply reminding you who has been here longest. Should I have added a snarky little smiley face like you did?

As to being a BO fan -- far from it. That you should make such a stupid comment says much about you.

That's bullshit. If someone is wrong you nail his hide to shed and do it in public.

That's harsh. (;>)

Was he sandbagging by the Dome most of the day? :-)

Sorry I had to get that in.

Didn’t know that. I was sick after that debate.

I don’t want to see the same with BHO.

This year, 2008, many Frank Luntz’s group are major Obama plants. There is NO WAY some of those partisan hacks are independent. Obama’s team follows this thread. Many pointed out Obama’s stuttering. Obama’s camp doesn't want the O's stuttering to become common knowledge to those that don't pay much attention until late Oct.

Obama’s camp is ruthless with propaganda. They saw the stuttering just like everyone here. Luntz’s group IS NOT INDEPENDENT and Luntz gave the majority of mic time to Obama supporters where they defended Obama's stuttering, and even had the gall to say McCain stuttered. Quite the opoosite...McCain is confident and knowledgeable which results in clear, concise statement. Obama, he stutters and says lots of "uh's" when nervous.

Luntz appeared much more objective in 2004. Like Obama’s own perspiration throughout tonight's debate, they are cognizant of Obama’s stuttering and perspiration.
