The debate started slow. I was a little worried McCain was not going to go on the offensive. After a half hour McCain turned in to a freaking pit bull. He is scoring points left and right. Obama is on the defensive and sounding amazingly naive.
I’m curious, have you been listening or watching? I have been watching and I don’t feel good about how McCain did. Lehrer says they both got the same amount of time, but i feel like it has been all Obama. Sickening.
“I was a little worried McCain was not going to go on the offensive.”
I was (and still am) a LOT worried about that first third or so of the debate (not about foreign policy) - my concerns were exactly the same ones Dick Morris ennumerated on Sean while ago. About the economy and this (Paulson) bill on the table. McCain missed several Golden Opportunities to point out the faults with it and what he and most of the Repubs want to see instead that would benefit the taxpayers SO much more. That would’ve been powerful - and why he didn’t seize upon that, I can’t understand. He should’ve known this was coming and really made it the power point.
I realize that McCain’s concern and time the last few days has been taken up by this critical situation and he doesn’t really prepare a lot for debates. (I like his honesty and spontaneity that way, but the sheeple don’t get it). He needs to be sharpened up on getting these points across to the public about this bail-out, the differences between his and BHO’s stands and how they would affect the people.
Especially since the next debate will be about Economy. Run, John, Run - you can do it, but not much (if any) margin for error here.
Spot on analysis! Bambi got his ass whipped toward the end.

Dittos on that exactly.
First round Obama won, then McCain caught fire and pummelled all night.
