Well, if they want to all give the debate to Joe the plumber—fabulous! Then the clueless will ask—who’s Joe the plumber? And then they will hear about how Barry is a socialist creep.

Now the POSSUM GRIN is getting on the bandwagon...Brit Hume’s record for not countering the BS is thus tarnished.

I’m truly astounded. It’s difficult to see a distinction tonight between Fox News and MSNBC. The Fox panel concludes that B-O “is ready to lead and has a clearer message of leadership than McCain.”

I don't know that Krauthammer is "a moron" so much as he is a genuinely evil human being.

He wants his erection back, and, if he has to, he'll murder a hundred million babies to get it.

Oooh, our local news just ran the ‘I am not Pres. Bush...’ soundbite. That was a winner. :)

The 22 seconds of McCain mean included the mention of both Ayers and ACORN.

Fox knows what side its bread is buttered on. They’ll come back around.

Well, they lost me. Fox News was the last remaining cable news network I would watch. No more! I am just going to go to bed early on Nov 4 and pray that when I wake up that our civil liberties haven't already been taken away.

Granting the $12,000 figure, isn’t a $5,000 tax credit still a lot more than a $12,000 pre-tax deduction from your check for most brackets? It’s nearly half the amount.

Kristol saying Obama won and smiling and saying McCain has blown it and now saying Dole losing in NC. Is she??

Okay, I agree with you guys now, this about face by FoxNews is to abrupt to be coincidence considering McCain did pretty well tonight, I guess they think Obama is going to win and are afraid of the Fairness doctrine spreading, perhaps they have heard what Glenn Beck has been told that is coming for us?

Mark Halperin’s Grades for the Final Presidential Debate

McCain
Substance: Grade: A-

Style: Grade: B+

Offense: Grade: A-

Defense: Grade: A-

During the first half of the debate, showed off the best of himself — dedicated, sincere, patriotic, cheery, earnest, commanding—all without seeming old or anxious. Even scored some points in the “change” category, against the candidate who has owned the theme. Clear, upbeat, and totally on message. To his detriment, became more aggressive and distracted during the second half, and perhaps lost a chance for the truly dramatic event he needs to change the game. Still, if a majority of persuadable voters watched the debate, they saw why McCain’s advisers have faith in him and still believe he can win this race.

Overall grade: A-

Obama

Substance: Grade: B

Style: Grade: B-

Offense: Grade: C+

Defense: Grade: B+

During the first half of the debate, too often displayed his worst traits—petty, aloof, imperious—and behaved as if he had someplace better to be, although he became warmer and more engaged as the evening progressed. Did not seem to have an explicit strategy; instead, he answered the questions piecemeal as they came his way, without driving a message or even a theme. Retained his consistently unflappable air, and had a few fine moments. If he was sitting on his lead, it worked - but perhaps at the expense of relinquishing part of it.

Overall grade: B

Thank you SO MUCH! I was just over at CafePress and there are shirts there now saying that “Joe the Plumber is voting for Obama”, I’m very happy to hear that they were all just banking on wishful thinking! LOL

Krauthammer is right. If McCain didnt knockout Obama and expose him as a phoney then Obama won.

McCain did great. Polls will tighten and hopefully the 527s will hit Obama soon.

McCain HAS to purchase a half hour's TV time like Obamboozle has. Then he can weave in all the evidence against the Messiah in one coherent narrative.

No one can do this in any debate format. Obama realizes this and that's why he has purchased time.

McCain simply has to do the dame.

I agree with your analysis. The one “problem” is the things that McCain rightly exposed about Obama require following up. And I don’t blame Mac for that, he has to leave that up to the voters to check on what they said in the debate and see Obama lied his teeth off. But the media analysts just look for poise and smoothness dutring the debate and Obama looks fine in that regard. I don’t know why they would expect his head to spin around or something...
