Who Won The Debate — Your Call

Totally Obama.

Obama won.

Obama by a wide margin.

Barack Obama was clear winner

Obama! slam dunk!

Obama wins: landslide.

McCain got this one.

Obama. No questions about it.

Barack Obama won

MCCAIN

Obama won, no doubt about it. I’m looking forward to him becoming our next president!!!

Barack Obama won by a landslide!

McCain won!

McCain, definitely.

Obama, no question!

Obama, our next President

Obama won

Without a doubt Obama

Obama.
McCain’s use of calling Obama “that one” seems pretty low.

Obama. A very competent performance that demolished McCain

I think the abc news commentators were blatantly biased against John McCain. John McCain did an outstanding job, answered questions directly and clearly while Obama clearly stumbled and fumbled. This is a clear example of media spin – shame on you!

Obama is the one

Barack Obama

Obama won

How can this be an Obama landslide??? Obama again continues to be talk that decides to avoid answering questions. I’m not calling this a McCain landslide in the least, but how can you even suggest a huge Obama win here??

McCain

Obama, for sure!

OBAMA of course

Obama blew this one out of the water IMO! :)

Obama won on substance. Also, I didn’t like McCain’s snide “that one” comment refering to Obama. It struck me as revealing a certain nastiness under the surface on McCain’s part.

McCain Won.
He is 100% right, You have to stabalize the house prise.

Obama won without a doubt!!!!

I believe B. Obama’s answers were more clear.

Obama buried McCain.

McCain got this time big time.

OBAMA.
And McCain had to win as he is losing the race.
OBAMA-BIDEN : LANDSLIDE

obama obama obama!

Obama was clearly the winner. And what was up with McCain calling Obama “that one”?

Obama..New Ideas..McCain..same old rederick. Obama by a landslide

Obama won by far

Obama won hands down because he answered the questions in depth and articulated his plans for getting our country back on track with clarity, insight and in a believable manner.

McCain. McCain did answer the Israel question and Obama did not.

McCain was obviously the winner tonight. You had a real man with experience and then you had an infant who told the moderator, ” you go ahead Tom”. Nice of the ego to give Brokaw permission.
Barack has a nice smile but he cannot answer any question without arrogance. McCain makes me feel confident that we will be safe and that we will not drift into Socialism – I don’t get that feeling with Obama.

Obama was the winner!

McCAIN STILL DOESN´T GET IT ! HE WAS SOMETIMES NERVOUS AND MADE ALMOST NO SUBSTANCE! I USE TO BE UNDECIDED. NOW, I ´M GONNA VOTE OBAMA / BIDEN !

No doubt Obama won this debate.

OBAMA. And it wasn’t even close.

MCCAIN
Obama was blabbering with No Substance and Lied on several issues

McCain lost again. I give this one to Obama. McCain is just too negative and he sounded old, out of touch. I expect the pools to move even more towards Obama.

OBAMA! Clearly landed a gentleman’s knockout! He explained exactly what and how he plans to do to help Americans live a prosperous life and bring and end to the invasion of Iraq and refocus the war on terror to the terrorists who attacked us. Peace vs war, defense is always mandatory and AMERICANS are first not McCain’s rich buddies!

McCain

For those of you who think Mcain won de…nial is not just a river in egypt!!!

Obama was prepared and relaxed and I liked his answeres…..i felt he won….

Obama CLEARLY won. By far!

John McCAIN!!
Did anyone notice how obama neglected once again to answer a question when it was asked?

Obama!

OBAMA!!!

I already voted.. PRESIDENT OBAMA WON AND WILL WIN NOV 4TH

Obama won as the reporters on everywhere but FNC have said Obama looked and acted presidential and McCain Did NOT.

Obama

Obama. no contest!!!!!!

Obama won!!! Go Obama!!

Obama Won the Debate

Obama was clear on his points. McCain did not answer the questions clearly – like Palin during the VP debate.

Obama won big. McCain looks/sounds old and tired. If I hear him say “my friends” one more time, I’ll puke.

McCain cleaned Obama’s clock!!! I was undecided, but this debate showed McCain is clearly a leader. Obama is dangerous for this country and as McCain stated, we don’t have time for on-the-job training.

Are you kidding? McCain crushed Obama. How can the Dems continue to think Palin isn’t ready and Obama is?

McCain!!!! McCain!!! McCain!!! Vote for McCain!!!! …..if you vote for Obama, you can kiss your money GOODBYE!!!!!!!!
VOTE McCain / Palin!!!!

obama, of course.

100% OBAMA!

Did I hear McCain correctly? Did he referred to Obama as that one. Did, he keep his back to Obama, and not look at him when He was talking? If I was going to vote for McCain, my mind is changed now. His attitude and his answers to many of the topics that means alot to me, was not answered.

Obama by a landslide. He looked and acted Presidential.

Obama

Obama Obama Obama by dunk

Obama was so right on with his responses. He was very composed and showed how he might handle any situation we may face.

OBAMA is the WINNER!

Boring as heck. McCain needed a game changer and didn’t get it. Advantage Obama, and dare I say, McCain is probably toast.

John McCain won. He was clear and forthcoming. Obama kept sidesteping the questions, which he would since he didn’t know the answers.

Obama speaks well, however, if you actually delve into what he says, it makes no logical sense. Overall, he has no substance.
John McCain not only won the debate, he proved tonight why he is the only man for the job. HE is the only one with a plan for the economy to get it up and started again.
New slogan “Vote John McCain because B.O. stinks!”

Obama, of course

Totally OBAMA!!!

McCain won again, but these debates don’t really matter. Like watching the dancers after the Titanic started sinking, the economy is going to sink so low it will create its own tax cuts.

That’s crazy! You look at media websites and you see more people saying Obama won. But if you look at None media websites that have polls set up, McCain won.

Obama, hands down!

Obama won the debate hands down! McCain was erratic in his statements and his movements around the stage and looked at his many notes.

Obama! No question about it.

Obama – clear decision.

Obama won easily

I think Mcain won to night! Dont know who the balled guy is doing the wrap up of the debate,but when he said that he thought the American public didn’t care about william airs, WHAT A IDIOT! how as a proud American could you not care that your choice for president was a friend with a KNOWN terriorst!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S. this is the first time i have ever taken the time to right back after any debate. Thats how MAD his comment made me! Thank you!

Oh-Bah-Ma! He was fabulous!

Obama. Thanks to Mccain/bush we are in the mess we are in now

OBAMA. I thought it was going to be a better match-up, given that McCain claims this is his forum. My friends, he bit the dust. Guess ‘That One’ will be the One That Got Away.

Obama all the way

it’s obviously a tie.

Obama was the only President out there.

Sen. Obama clearly understood the issues and answered the questions befor him while Sen. McCain seemed to either side step the question to talk about his own political record which left wonder what his answer was to the question. Sen. Obama won this debate hands down.

Obama

OBAMA…WOW….!!

Obama. McCain was not bad, but Obama was better organized and more consistent.

McCain looked like old school and Obama looked like the future. It was close but Obama left the best impression.

Obama hands down!!

obama won

NO CONTEST. Obama won by a landslide. Don’t forget to get out and vote for Barack Obama…you know, “that one!” (Can you believe McCain actually said that?)

obama won definitively.

Obama. Hands down.

Obama, no dodubt. Presidential. Calm. Cool. Prepared.
McCain appeared agitated, awkward and at times incoherent, unfinished sentences, and meandering replies.

Obama won! McCain himself said many, many, many times that he had been around so long – well, I think that’s a few years too many.

McCain’s performance was painful. He’s clearly a man from the past.
Obama won by a landslide!

Obama won! McCain himself said many, many, many times that he had been around so long – well, I think that’s a few years too many.

Obama was clear, concise, confident – absolutely the winner.

OBAMA!!!
IF I HEAR MCCAIN SAY….”MY FRIEND” one more time…I’m going to scream(lol)!

McCain won …. Obama sounded good but said nothing.

Obama was clearly more in control. McCain’s obvious disdain for him doesn’t speak well for his ‘bipartisan maverick’ claims.

Obama won this debate! He looked and sounded presidential.

Dispite all the democratic “expert” commutators – John McCain is on the right course and was definately the winner.

McCAIN baby!! all i have to say is experience, experience, experience!

Obama

Definitely Obama won !

Obama won b/c McCain made several attempts to discredit his political record, but Obama was able to refute a vast majority of those attacks w/ clear facts and an assertive voice.

Obama! He is the man who is presidential. McCain is an ineffectual attack dog.

OBAMA won by a landslide! He offers solutions to the very difficult problems we face today. McCain is full of empty rhetoric. Obama is calm and confident and presidential. I trust that he will look out for the Middle Class and help us get back on our feet again. McCain is just going to give handouts to the super rich, just like they have been the last 8 years.

McCain Won the debate, no doubt about it.

Surprisingly, Obama. I’m a conservative and have never voted otherwise. I don’t know that I’ll change that this cycle, but I expected John McCain to seize the moment tonight, really come out swinging, and finally show some greatness. I’m sorry… he didn’t.

McCain Won without a doubt!!
Crushed Obama in every topic.

Unequivocally Obama!!!

For sure OBAMA won!!!

Obama. McCain is getting pretty mean and Nasty wouldn’t you say?

Obama, I do this not only for me.but for my mama. you are the WINNER!

McCain won this time. I thought Obama did better in the first debate and won that one, but McCain seemed to provide more facts this time around and seemed more presidential and in touch with reality.
I sense obvious partisanship from both Republicans and Democrats: Anyone claiming McCain or Obama won hands down wasn’t listening well enough and lacks any sense of impartial judgment.

Obama won landslide

Obama was the clear winner. He spoke much more clearly and intelligently than McCain, and has real solutions to our problems. McCain doesn’t sound like he really understands our problems.

The next President of the United States Of America, Barack Obama.
McCain needed to win this debate and didn’t, and now Obama/Biden will win the election in a landslide.
Obama!!

Obam-bam-bam,bam bam McCain!

Obama.

Obama

I thought Obama definitely won but McCain did a pretty good job. He probably repaired a bit of the damage him and Palin have done to the ticket.

Obama was way better. Slam dunk!

obama. McCain is so LAME.

McCain – showed a greater understanding of issues and didn’t deflect as much as Obama.

Obama won, he was calm, reassuring and knowledgable. Essentially, he looked presidential. Healthcare I believe is a right, not a responsibility.

Obama won and continued to show he is intelligent, a gentleman, and presidential.

Obama won easily, McCain was pitiful.

OBAMA won on all counts!

Obama 08!

Obama doomed McCain tonight clearly!

it’s a draw.

Sen. Obama, won, thank God. Sen. McCain looks old,angry and misguided. Seriously is it the make up. McCain’s body posture looked angry distaining manner towards McCain. It is clear that with McCain as President we will be in war within 18 months after he enters office God forbid. Lord have Mercy on Us

Obama is so smart! He clearly won!

Obama! He bomb, bomb, bombed The Penquin’s butt.

Obama nailed it!

I think Obama won but they both kind of regurgitated the same old philosophies. McCain kept touting his experience and how well he did in the Senate and in my opinion, I think we should leave him in the Senate because he is doing such a good job. Maybe we should just make him head of the Senate.

Clearly OBAMA!!!!!!

OBAMA wins. Knowledge and experience and trustworthiness that has been proven by years of Action and not just words. McCain’s record conflict with his record.

Obama no doubt. McCain comes across as condescending (my friends…), terse, and combative – cranky old man syndrome. Barack seems comfortable, likeable, more in touch with the room.

Obama No Question. There is no doubt!!

My Friends, Obama won!

I did!

It is too obvious that the media is liberal and biased…it doesn’t do our country justice. I am democrat and leaning towards MCCAIN.

Obama has brains to run this country.
McCain can keep his military experince, this is a new game .Bush send your families to died and Mcain wants to continue, does he know how much a gallon of milk cost?

Over all Obama won the debate. McCain had a chance to impose himself when he was talking about the KGB and Easter Europe but instead of keeping the conversation with the voters he decided to use his time to insult Barack, and I think people are really gettin tired of negative attacks this time around. McCain had a few chances but he blew it. GOPers will say he won, but Independents and Democrats will give it to Obama. He was clear, and kept the focus on the issues.

Obama won. He gave eloquent, clear, confident answers. McCain looked like a bumbling, confused old man at times. It was kind of sad watching him because he was a decent candidate 8 years ago, but his age has caught up with him. The last thing we can afford in times of economic and international crisis is a president who is losing his mental faculties.

“That one” won.

McCain looked old and tired. He kept trying to attack instead of giving us solid answers. He needs to retire and go live in his 12 houses.

MCcAIN was the winner–the adult–the commander in chief.He will reassure Americans and look out for us.

Definitely OBAMA. Looked Presidential. Was clear. Spoke to the people.

Obama did.

Barack Obama won hands down Mccain was full of himself and made jokes that were not only inappropriate ( to tom ) but made him look self centered and desperate. The last Debate was a draw this one proved that Mccain has lost his footing

Obama! He bomb, bomb, bombed The Penquin’s butt.

It wasn’t even close. Obama won this debate handily. He inspires confidence in me; he clearly inspired the same confidence in those who were in the studio with him. There were many nods and smiles when he spoke. I also love Obama’s body language–that of a man completely comfortable in his own skin, utterly un-self-conscious and outwardly oriented.

Obama won.

McCain did. The key emphasis that McCain got in tonight include the fact that Obama took credit for things he didn’t do, Obama is for big government and distrust of the people, and Obama’s lack of experience. But in other ways, McCain under-emphasized things. He didn’t mention that Obama’s advisors included the two leaders of Freddie and Fannie. He didn’t emphasize that we are who we associate. There’s more to come once Corsi gets back to this country. That will be big news!

Barak H. Obama!!!!

Anyone with half a brain knows that Obama won. RIPublicans.

OBAMA WON!!!
He was clear, Presidential, and McCain was simply no match (muddled answers with and the “my friends” thing is grating, and feels hypocritical). The contrast between the future and past was clear tonight – Barack once again has shown that he is a 21st century leader who can elevate the discourse and put us back on the right track.

Obama won! His positive attitude toward change is what this country needs.

McCain won this one. It was clear–especially toward the end–that he was the one with more experience and knew what he was talking about because he actually answered the questions given by the audience. Obama dodged many of the questions (i.e. when asked what to do about Israel or any foreign policy) by getting off topic and talking about something else.

Obama had more detail, more clarity, and did not have to resort on the negative tactics that McCain used.

Sorry I posted twice, my PC is slow tonite and I probably clicked twice on “post”.

Obama makes me feel safe. He’s calm, level headed. Intelligent in thoughts and in solutions

Obama nailed it, no doubt about it.

Obama is a class act, and has the substance behind him to lead this country in the future. McCain (Smirky McSmirk) is so out of touch – he didn’t even stay in the room to talk to the people. He’s too good for that!

Obama, no question, not only policy-wise, but also presentation-wise. McCain came across as both arrogant and desperate, oddly enough. And if only I got a dime for every time he muttered, “My friends…” Good lord.

WHAT HAPPEN TO AIRES?? LOL.. MCSAME PUNKED OUT – LOL OBAMA O8 – GET WITH IT.. OR GO HOME!!

There isn’t even a comparison. Obama hit it out of the park. Who can even imagine voting for McCain? I’m not his “friend” either.

This election is over. Obama will win. McCain is a jerk.

Obama won. I was undecided but made up my mind after seeing how McCain doesn’t even understand the basic concept of prioritization when asked to prioritize initiatives. McCain seems to think that we can do everything with the same priority, we can cut taxes for everyone and keep wasting money in Iraq and with all of that he thinks the economy will be stronger. He is clearly not prepared.

Obama – and I’m a Republican. If McCain says, “My friend” one more time…he must hav esaid it 12 – 15 times tonight. Makes me think of the old snake oil salesman of the 30s.

John McCain won hands down…He is a true American in all sense of teh word…He will make a great leader in these tough times!

I think McCain started well, showing clearly that he felt comfortable with the town-hall setting. However, Obama caught up fast and actually ended up having more shining moments — health care in particular, but also even in areas usually viewed as McCain’s turf like Iraq, Iran and Pakistan. His closing statements were great. Overall, I think Obama won.

Obama won….not even close….

Obama won the debate.
McCain’s wife Cindy showed real class by shaking Obama’s hand after McCain refused to do so.

McCain won hands down.

As an intelligent woman, Obama won hands down. He remains calm, reassuring and graceful under immense pressure. His style and charm makes him incredibly likable. He answered the questions and did not resort to idiotic phrases like “my friend”, “you betcha”, “also” and “Joe six-pack.”
I am appalled by the tactics of the McPain team. I hope Americans will really see them as they are. They couldn’t tell the truth if their lives depended on it! They should be ashamed of themselves. Wink, wink!

Whoever I say won, won; if you disagree with me, you and the media are biased. I am a [pick one] Democrat/Republican, but this time I’m leaning towards [pick one all caps] MCCAIN/OBAMA.

CAN’T WAIT FOR W THE MOVIE..LOL STUPID BUSH

McCain,McCain,McCain
OBAMA is not quite ready.Still shaky andunsure

Obama won, McCain is an angry old man who will say and make up anything to try to save a campaign on the downfall. I’m not buying McCain’s BS!

Abso-frigging-lutely OBAMA.

McCain won tonight, Palin won last week, and McCain the week before that. I am glad that he won and hope that others are drawn to vote for him. His economic plan is good and would help everyone. His plan is to lower taxes on all businesses, not just the large corporations like his opponent talks about. This would help to keep jobs here, instead of them being shopped out to India and other countries. I am also concerned about the negative news stories I have heard about Obama this past week with his various relationships with people whose actions–not just views–are Anti-American and meet the definition of a terrorist.

No contest: Obama!

Obama won
McCain is OLD..and if elected would be the oldest president EVER..
Palin is 1 heart beat away..That is Frickn SCARY
Vote Obama…
we can not afford 8 more years of the
Bush/McCain ticket …..(yea, I know, but does it really make a difference?) :)
AND FOR ALL YOU “RADICAL” RELIGIOS TYPES..
GOD SAYS, “VOTE FOR OBAMA”

Obama won the debate. McCain won the fear pushing.

My friends….Obama won…

Obama. Also, seems some news agencies are biased as they don’t just have the quick polls for a glance at % who thinks each candidate won. FOX and ABC have us make comments and blog. OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA

Obama, like always! McCain didn’t even stay and talk with people – He just left? What was up with that?

Obama won this one! McCain is gettting desperate and looking a little tired… I think it’s all over for John.

Obama won

Obama. He shows character, clear judgement, and leadership. Who cares if McCain has more years under his belt; he clearly shows a knack for bad judgement time after time. Furthermore, who else is McCain going to belittle when he’s angry or under pressure? This man doesn’t speak softly at all.

I’m an independent female voter who is now leaning towards Obama. However, I will wait until the last debate to be certain. I just think Obama has better ideas and his policies would better benefit me than McCain, he also looks and sounds more presidential.

Obama won! McCain can have the tiller

Obama won. You know, “that one.”

Another win for Obama. McCain comes off as a immature brat with his pouting accusations and bad attempts at humor. I had no horse in this race early on but with the lack of judgment McCain has shown (picking a unqualified VP, “suspending” his campaign, the old raz-a-ma-taz when things get difficult for him, plus the way he has resorted to mud slinging even when he said he was above it not more than 3 months ago – my vote will go to Obama

Barack Obama by a mile!!!!!

OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA!

The verdict is in…Obama won 67 to McCain 33%
This was, I think, a mauling: a devastating and possibly electorally fatal debate for McCain. Even on Russia, he sounded a little out of it. I’ve watched a lot of debates and participated in many. I love debate and was trained as a boy in the British system to be a debater. I debated dozens of times at Oxofrd. All I can say is that, simply on terms of substance, clarity, empathy, style and authority, this has not just been an Obama victory. It has been a wipe-out.It has been about as big a wipe-out as I can remember in a presidential debate. It reminds me of the 1992 Clinton-Perot-Bush debate. I don’t really see how the McCain campaign survives this.

MCCAIN HAS THE STUFF__HE RULES

I try not to make decisions based upon party lines. My blood does not run red or blue…more purple : ) Everyone has something to offer and it is important to hear all sides of an argument. I wish our politicans could work together to solve our country’s problems instead of fighting like school-yard chaps. Both candidates had strong points and valid arguments. However I must admit tht I think OBAMA did a better job in this particualar debate.

John McCain clearly lost on every count.He seemed destitute and showed his age. Barack Obama was cool and collected, but engaging, this time sounded smart and very presidential! Clearly, Obama was the hands down winner!

Obama was on the defense the whole time….BECAUSE McCain is a LIAR. State the facts old man. You screwed up on the decision to go to Iraq, your spending freeze will only hurt people, and your tax plan helps only the wealthy.
I can’t afford McCain in 08.
War Obama whooping up on mccain.

Obama by 10 lengths.

OBAMA!!!
Mc Cain looked angry, old, condescending, and like a man from our past.
Obama looked presidential, thoughtful, insightful, and like our future….
GOBAMA!!!

Obama really showed his inexperience tonight.

If you watched the debate, then there’s little doubt that McCain won. He showed a steady command tonight. Obama stumbled across his points, at times leaving more confusion than answers. I felt that this debate drove me more towards trusting McCain and more nervous about the prospect of an Obama presidency.

Senator Obama won the debate. His economic plan is what we need to help our nation out of its economic crisis. Obama is a gentleman that has integrity. He is more empathetic to the plight of the middle-class.

Obama 97
McSame 3

Advantage McCain!!! As the debate went on, McCain got more comfortable and more animated, while Obama just got more frustrated and anxious.

MORTAGE BUY OUT?
ACTUALLY HILLARY ALREADY SAID THAT ABOUT THE MORTGAGE BUY OUT.
SORRY MACCAIN…
NOTHING NEW.
THANK YOU HILLARY..

Obama won. Way more presidential

Advantage McCain!!! As the debate went on, McCain got more comfortable and more animated, while Obama just got more frustrated and anxious.

Obama clearly won this debate.

Obama

Obama

Obama by a landslide.

McCain is a winner through and through. He has a plan, Obama just danced around and bashed Bush.

OBAMA KO’S MCCAIN

Barack Obama won this debate hands down.

Obama won easily against old “That one” grumps.

McSAME looked OLD and did not look healthy, he could not relate to a single, regular, hardworking American. McSAME does not have a clue about Economics and the fundamentals of the American Economy. Obama WIN by a landslide!!!!!!

Obama won again tonight, he will be the next president of USA

I would say Obama won, but the debate was too dull.

Sen. Mccain Won, Sen. Obama is a spoiled kid, with a lot of talk/words

Neither won the debate, because it wasn’t one. It was a rehash of their talking points. I found it incredibly BORING!! When are we going to acknowledge the limits of the presidency to enact laws. Laws originate in the House and Senate. The President can sign or veto the laws or bills. The President can have a plan, but it takes working with both houses of congress and parties to get them enacted. I don’t believe Obama has the character or judgment to govern.

McCain won, plain and simple.

Obama definitely has policies that will benefit a majority of Americans – gave understands that shows more depth on those issues. And McCain wa downright scary with the negative stuff – refering to a fellow congressman as that one is not a presidential way to get things done across the aisle with adversaries. Gosh, there is more. This was not close.

I was frustrated that on many questions, neither of them gave a real answer, they used the time to make points they’ve both made before. I get really tired of McCain saying, “I know how to do that.” and then not saying anything specific about how. He does that a lot. I also get tired of him misrepresenting both his own and Obama’s records. He does that constantly. He ought to look at the polls. It ain’t working.
I thought Obama was more specific, more to the point on most questions, and he’s just generally a lot more imaginative about how to approach problems.
I give him an A-. McCain a B- to C.

Obama won!!!!! No contest.

Without a doubt Obama, he was extremely Presidential and addressed what the American citizens are most concerned about with intelligent ideas.

OBAMA!!!!!!!!

One of the best debates of our time.
This will go down in history.
I’ve seen many debates, and have yet to see someone come out on top the way Barack Obama did tonight.
He is truly remarkable and CLEARLY destroyed Mccain in this debate.
Mccain’s FORCED WHISPERING doesn’t work. I feel he’s lying and talking down to people and he constantly does it. Like he’s pleading and begging you to believe him when you know it’s BS.
We’ve seen this before and I don’t think we’ll fall for it again.
Not only was there no surprise from Mccain, but there was nothing of value either. Your constant babbling of OLD talking points is ridiculous.
~ OBAMA WON HANDS DOWN ~

Obama by a landslide

Obama looked like the next president of the United States

Obama did it again. Hands down winner.

Obama by a landslide

Obama, who was the other person?

Obama,
he had clear, concise answers and didn’t resort to finger-pointing to try and shore up his flagging platform like McCain did.
I detested when McCain referred to Senator Obama as ‘this one’. It was the height of disrespect.

Obama hands down

Obama, Close call but McCain lost me with the TR comment. TR was a wonderful domestic pres. but he was the “American imperialist” the phrase “Speak softly and carry a big stick” does not sit well with me as it represents a policy of minimum diplomacy maximum intervention

“that one” won!

Obama won 100%
McFallin was so out of touch.
He even forgot he is holding a microfon in his own hand. McFallin was completely lost in time and space.

McCain without question! Obama didn’t keep his cool, didn’t stick to the rules, didn’t answer the questions – he is a joke. He acted like a child with his responses. What a joke. What’s wrong with being old? I’m young (and highly educated – thank you many student loans and a lot of hard work) and believe in people with experience, and by the way, McCain is right with his Simple Economics. Obama has no leadership abilities. In the first 15 minutes, he flip-flopped on issues that he was strong on before being a candidate, he also flat out lied and didn’t answer his questions. Obviously those who believe Obama won didn’t pay attention, don’t truly understand the problems with the economy and are voting for him for the wrong reasons. God Bless America – only here are the ignorant, misguided, and uneducated are allowed to vote and voice their ridiculous opinions.

Who do you think won Tuesday’s presidential debate?
John McCain
71%
Barack Obama
19%
Neither
10%

McCAin is clearly the winner. He wants to cut taxes for the middle class and double the family deduction, What a gift. Thanks John, you’re the one!Obama wants to do the “old school” taxation plan of raising taxes which stifles the economy-bad news.

MCCAIN

Obama was again a clear winner!

Obama was clearly more relaxed and presidential.

Obama won. McCain has a higher expectation which he did not meet, which means he failed and Obama won.

Obama won this one easily.

Obama08

Obama, by far, has a better, more nuanced grasp of the issues of the day. McCain is my Senator, and if his time as Senator is any indication of how he will be as president, don’t expect him to show up for work, or work for Americans. McCain has one of the worst attendance records in the whole Senate (even before running for President) and has never done any favors for Arizonans.

Obama – clear, concise, forward-thinking, positive, hopeful.
McCain – cheap shots, repetition, cliches, campaign ad rhetoric, nauseating “My Friends” about 200 times, and continued nonsense about victor in Iraq (there’s nothing to win).
Victory – Obama.

Nobama = SPEND SPEND SPEND SPEND SPEND SPEND SPEND SPEND SPEND SPEND SPEND
If you run a small business or have savings at the bank, Nobama will ruin them and waste all the money.
He makes beatitul promises ´love, peace, wealth, harmony, etc´ that people adore to listen, but no based on real facts.
I don´t want an Illinois hippy to be my president.

CBS News and Knowledge Networks have, once again, conducted a nationally representative poll of uncommitted voters to get their immediate reaction to tonight’s presidential debate.
And this new poll has good news for the Democratic ticket: Just as in the first presidential debate and the vice presidential face off, more uncommitted voters say the Democratic candidate won the debate. (The exact numbers may change as more respondents complete the survey.)
Thirty-nine percent of the 400 uncommitted voters surveyed identified Barack Obama as tonight’s winner; 27 percent said John McCain won, while 35 percent saw the debate as a draw.
After the debate, 68 percent of uncommitted voters said that they think Obama will make the right decisions on the economy, compared to 54 percent who said that before the debate. Fewer thought McCain would do so – 49 percent after the debate, and 41 percent before.
Before the debate, 60 percent thought Obama understands voters’ needs and problems; that rose to 80 percent after the debate. For McCain, 35 percent felt he understands voters’ needs before the debate, and 46 percent thought so afterwards.
Barack Obama also did better than McCan among working class.

Obama won tonight. What was up with McCain’s “that one” comment? With the Hoover/Tip O’Neil comments and bad jokes, he came off like yesterday’s pizza, old and cheesy.

All of you who said Obama must have not been watching the same debate. Any objective observer would have to say that McCain was more confident, direct, and composed than Obama who seemed to fill most of his time by stuttering.

President Obama clearly won.

McCain won

Obama has brains to run this country.
McCain can keep his military experince, this is a new game .Bush sent your families to die and Mcain wants to continue, does he know how much a gallon of milk cost?

McCain gets my vote.

McCain…it’s the same as Bush. Big business can take care of everybody. When will “Joe-Six Pack” wake up. You are getting throw to the wolves…can’t you see??? Know you can’t…you don’t have time to think on the way to the unemployed office.

For those of you who thought McCain was the winner tonight, what show were you watching? The Beverly Hillbillies?
For those of you that are “concerned” about the “negative” stories about Obama’s “relationship” with “anti-Americans”, are you that moronic to buy into that line?
McCain is desperate. McCain was shaky tonight. McCain was an angry old man that referred to his opponent not as an honorable senator, but “THAT ONE!!” McCain insulted a young man who asked a question about the economy by saying that he might not know what Fannie Mae was before the economic crisis.
Obama was calm, collected, and PRESIDENTIAL. He was the clear winner. To think that McCain won, c’mon!

McCain scored a crushing victory over the obviously inexperienced Obama.

McCain scored a crushing victory over the obviously inexperienced Obama.

they both lost

Obama won

Obama won!

OBAMA won! Calm, cool & collected!
McCain bombed again. I do appreciate McCain’s military background and how dedicated he is to the mission of the military, but (my friends) he sounds like a broken record from the Bush administration. What a farce of a choice for a running mate! John McCain get a clue!
VOTE for OBAMA!!!

Obama won–I can’t believe McCain still insists that he “always puts his country first”–I am not quite sure what he put first by inflicting the idiocy of Palin on the American people!

OBAMA. Next President of USA.

Obama by a knockout….DOWN GOES MCCAIN, DOWN GOES MCCAIN!!!!!…it should have been stopped in the first half hour. Maybe McCain should just suspend his campaign.

Obama, won ofcourse. He is the on with the brain.

Obama!!

Obama Won!!
McCain showed no real plan for the economy except more of the same, we can not afford this anymore.
If you can Trust Wall Street then I guess you can trust McCain, I for one do Not.
McCain also showed how much of an angry hot head is really is, not someone you want to trust with his finger on the button of our nuclear arsenal.

Obama—-Honest, Straightforward, Persistent, Clear, Trustworthy, Leader, Statesman, Connected, Respectful
McCain—–Misleading, Disrespectful, Untrustworthy, Undignified, Out of his depth, Angry, Deceitful smile

Obama won.
Mr. McCain referred to Obama as “that one” and doesn’t know how to prioritize. He looks desperate, and assumes that someone asking an economy question would not know what Freddy Mac or Fannie Mae is. He seems to get worse the closer we get to November 4th.

McCain….but the Palin/Biden debate was far more interesting and she won that one for me.
EX HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McPalin

Anyone who says McCain won is very delusional. Get a clue. McCain has done poorly in the last two debates, not to mention on the campaign trail. Get used to hearing the words “President Obama”, because your “friend”, McCain is going to lose.

Obama by a landslide. Macsame is yesterday’s man.

McCain wiped the floor with Obama and his inability to answer questions

Obama Won!

McCain won the debate unless you are looking for free money from the federal government. In that case Obama won the pandering competition.

“That one” won, hands down!

I was muttering and made no sense MY FRIENDS.
do i have to say it .(*_*)

Obama wins HANDILY.

Obama without a question. Much more substantive.

Obama won the debate. McCain showed how out of touch he is on buying up all the bad mortgages.

OBAMA!!!
McCain is such an arrogant bully with no respect for Senator Obama or middle class America.

This is a trick question right? Obama made McCain look like a psycho-ward escapee! Obama/Biden 08!

I have been a registered Independent since 1995. McCain came off as condescending and down right rude!! If I had to vote today…I vote OBAMA.

My friends and my enemies too, Barack Obama triumph with class and intelligence.

Obama!!!!!!!!

Obama

That one, Obama of course!

President Obama…oops, I mean Senator
Obama!!

My friends, McCain was simply terrible. No ideas, no energy, nothing new or substantial to offer. To attack BO on his lack of experience, while picking Palin as his VP, what a joke.

While McCain’s camp continues the last ditch effort to smear Obama with the liar emails, ads and TV lies right out of his mouth, Obama just gets more Presidential and knows that Americans are smarter than that. Obama won both debates and will win the election to boot. Can’t wait! Can’t believe the ”Obama’s a terrorist’ stuff is still being attempted. Hysterical! That’s a desperation that really ought to tell ya something don’t ya think?

McCain totally. Obama is nothing, he proved it tonight.

McCain definitely won. He was on the offensive the whole time while Obama had to make stuff up and go off subject just to keep his head above water. Most small businesses don’t make over 250 thousand a year? Where is he getting these statistics?

Obama won, McCain was to general on some answers like he was caught off guard!!!

Obama, for sure

Obama

Obama completely won, he showed sensitivity and intelligence and gave a clear plan as to how we screwed up this country and how we can get out of it. McCain is a Bushy, its clear he has no other plans to help us out of the mess Bush created.

O B A M A wins bigtime……
McCain is a befuddled old man who cant stop talking about what he did with Reagan in 1983…. I would hope there would be a better plan than what we had in 1983, the world has changed just a little bit…

obama wins obama wins

McCain Won!.

OBAMA (Was McCain even there?)
Good job on selling your soul McCain – How’s that working out for ya?

McCAIN…no question…

McCain lost. He was classless.

Obama won. McCain appeared stuck in the past….!!!!

Obama by a long shot… He’s a better human being that McCain, he’s got nothing, all he’s got left is to attack and hope for a miracle…
Barack is whom we need to get real Change in this country!

McCain creamed Obama on foreign affairs and did well on the economy. Liberals are so blinded and love their guy no matter what. Obama was not that good and many times he would not answer the questions. He did not answer the lady’s question from Illinois(the on line question for one). Obama did not answer the question about Israel either.

OBAMA, OBAMA, OBAMA by a landslide

Obama won. McCain is a crotchety old man with a snarky attitude. Our country desperately needs a fresh and positive outlook, and that is Obama, not McCain.

Was it me or did McCain look very uncomfortable every time he moved? It made him appear old and awkward.

Obama clearly connected with the American people personnaly and with the best answers to the questions!

OBAMA – Substance and Style! A SLAM Duncan!

Listen folks, neither won, they both dodged the question that matter most-The Economy- both stumbled throughout, and John McCain called Obama- “THAT ONE!”-
Mccain attempted to appease to the people but rally came across as annoying.
Obama needs to work on speaking without a teleprompter and become more personable.
Obama will win the election- If you did not notice- more people in the audience were requesting pictures with Obama than McCain. Hmm!
gib

Obama was wonderful, personable, intelligent, clear and inspiring!

Obama won. Calling a United States Senator “that one” lost it for me. Well, that and the fact that Obama has better answers on healthcare, the environment and the economy.

Why would anyone vote for a person because of his age, appearence, ability to make speeches, debate, etc.
Anyone who has good judgement would look at what a person stands for, his voting record, his friends, the people he associates with. Words of wisdom from my mother, “birds of a feather flock together”.
In this case McCain is a winner. He
has a love for this country that makes him a winner in every way!

Obama. He looks extremely presidential and has an actual plan. His mind is moving and turning and he’s thinking of his folks, the middle class and the poor. This man is a man of the people.

Certainly OBAMA
Why: Because he is the chosen.
OBAMA means “blessed.” In Arabic
That is why we support him. The time has come for US

McCain will work with both sides and has history of doing it. Obama only votes along party line.
Freddie MAC was out of control and the democrats voted against any over sight yet congress were the only ones with authority. Both parties voted along party lines.
Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae started the sub mortgage debacle.

Substance? There was NO substance in tonight’s debate. Obama TALKS better, but neither candidate answered the questions.
Absolutely nothing new came out of this so-called debate; it was an hour and a half of the same campaign rhetoric we’ve been hearing for two months.
McCain acted tired of the whole thing and Obama acted bored.
A yawner.
Bring back Sarah Palin; at least she was entertaining!

Obama clearly won.
McCain was arrogant and condescending.

Obama won. He is clearly in command of the issues and is more intelligent. John McCain again looked frazzled, miserable, confused and frankly too old. He tried too hard to blame Obama for everything wrong. If one were to believe him, all of our current problems are Obama’s fault. I think the game is over for McCain/Palin.

I’m a Missouri republican, but Obama won this debate. i mean how dumb is it when a man said in 1972 as the Democrat front man say we need to pay housewifes for working at home, then tonight McCain say he would buy bad homeowner mortgages????
Sorry, that talk and the bailout vote and immgrations bill of his and Kennedy did it for me
Barr for President

Obana, All the way to the White House!!!

Obama 60% – winner
McCain 40%

OBAMA by a LONG shot; so collected and steady, just like a president should be.

“That one” won with sure-footed Presidential class.

Obama won this debate too. Not just my opinion, lol. He’s at 84% in all the instant polls. CNN, CBS, NBC/MSNBC. Funny, though, I can’t find one for Fox News.

Someone actually complained McCain looked “uncomfortable when he moved”??? Do people not have a freakin’ clue? Being tortured for 5 years will indeed leave you physically “uncomfortable” for the rest of your life.
I’ve got a bailout plan for you – here’s a buck, buy a clue.

Obama won. No doubt about it. McCain was grasping at straws because he knows it is over. This is Obama’s time. McCain was very wrong in referring to Obama as “that one.” What was he trying to say without saying it?

If own a company and hiring a employee???
I do own a company and so does each and every one of us do its called the united states !!! This whole thing is about hiring a employee to run our company which is worth trillions to keep or lose its not about a show to me its hiring the best qualified !! Ive been on both sides of the fence ive been a manager at a car lot and now im out here looking for a job !!! Im 40 yrs old i dont have a collage degree or a formal education !! But what i do have is experience in life !!! I see things like this and so should alot of other people !! Look at the records and who has the experience not what i caan do its what they have done !!! Is that who you hire its who i hire !!!! Do i risk my company with a person who has 2 yrs experience or someone who has 40 yrs experience ?? This is a job let me remind you !!! Knowing that the question is this !! But first out here in the real world looking for a job I sell things so i wont apply to be a doctor or be a president !!! One of our choices is in sales and the other lives his career and has been living it !! Remember you are hiring a employee for your company !!! Its just that simple not a salesman or a actor you see the resumes and that should be a big factor !!! One choice was still a boy when the other was already on the job !!! The reality is this the 1 person could ask the other person a question about the job which have been there and which is going to ask how to solve a problem ??? which company would you invest in a 2 yrs old company that really doesnt have a resume and could be a gamble on a return or lose on investment ??? Or do you invest in a 40 yr company which has showed returns and must be stable because others have been investing for yrs !!! By which the company has grown which is shown arizona !!! If i recall they have a city there that was growning faster then any other in this country not to long ago !!!! People from up here in ohio where talking about moving there for yrs !!! So my question is this do you gamble or go with experience ??? Well i know in the real world the guy with the most experience gets the job !! Why is it such a tuff choice now i know why !! Take away the news and all the opinions and look at the resume then hire a employee !!!! Remember its your company and your money we are playing with !! Im not gambling when it comes to my money and i dont hire the person who knows what i want to hear i hire the guy who tells me where my company is wrong that why im talking to him in the first place he knows he has the experience !!!! I leave the gambling at the poker table i dont gamble with my money !!! So you decide your company is losing money say its a computer company would you talk to bill gates(mcain) or obama ???? Out here in the real world it would be bill gates for most only in tv land would obama get the job !!! I sold cars for 10 yrs and he sounds like many of managers i worked for !!! You know how most people feel about car salesman you are one of them !!! So go ahead and hire your employee on that note !!!!! Just something to think about !!!!
AL George !!!

President Obama – you’re the one!! McCain is SO yesterday!

Obama…I have been undecided because I am pro-life but the past days have told me how anti-life McCain and Palin are. They are destroying people through their lies. They even tolerated a supported who incited hate. Meanwhile, Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden have been very honorable and so respectful. Thank you – I have totally made up my mind.

Obama clearly won! Isn’t it comforting to have a potential US President who is so intelligent?

Obama, but I thought both candidates did an exceptional job. McCain still held up his side of the bargain when it came to foriegn policy…he obviously knows what he’s talking about and I think he has an advantage because he has had more experience than Obama, but I don’t think its reasonable to say that we are going to get iranians and pakistanis to like us and that we were going to try to become their friends…it’s like trying to befriend terrorists. When it comes to economic policies…at this point, no matter which candidate wins they are going to struggle with it because its not going to get better anytime soon…just look at the markets…

McCain won

Obama’s manipulations can only go so far…CLEARLY, John McCain was victorious again.

Senator McCain appeared composed, dedicated and on point with addressing the questions posed.
Sen. Obama often comes off as arrogant and condescending with his constant prefacing of the word, LOOK, before he answers.
Our group that watched this debate count B.O. as the low man and J.M. as the winner.

Obama won the debate. McCain was rude when he referred to his fellow Senator as “that one!”

Allen George, you most certainly proved to us you’ve never stepped foot on a college campus. Yes, I want fries with that.

McCain…Obama circled around his answers the whole time.

Next President of the United States, Barack Obama!

The curmudgeon lost. Obama won.

Too bad for McClain, that old Washington puppet business as usual player, he is hiding in the bushes and “Palin” around with liars.
Obama Won!
Clearly composed, the young Mr. Obama is the man we need to take the Helm and steer the country on the right course.

OBAMA won -
McCain lost.

McCAIN WON !! OBAMA LIED OVER & OVER… HE IS CLUELESS !!

Obama was awesooooooooomeeeeeee!!!
McCain’s old rhetoric was awful…how could he leave himself open for Bomb Bomb Iran? I was thinking about it the whole time he was slammin Barack about speak softly and carry a big stick. I was so proud Barack called him out on it!!! He RULES!!!!!

“That one” won big time. As an Arizonan, I am embarrassed by Senator McCain and his boorish behavior.

Obama won this one! McCain is NEGATIVE and has a major case of “tunnel vision”.
McCain will back all Bush’s doings and
just follow his footsteps. CHANGE means
VISIONARY!

it baffles me to see that folks really think that mccain won this debate. it makes me wonder about my own perceptions. what makes me think that obama walked circles around mccain and that he was clear, concise, organized and thoughtful in his responses. barack was absolutely brilliant!
mccain seemed angry and scared of loosing. his responses were lacking in specifics.

I almost felt sorry for McCain. He looked like a feeble old confused soul with no connection to the real world. More pitiful than presidential.

OBAMA by a landslide…………

Obama won and he looked presidential.
McPain scared and ran out from the room without talking to people.
We can’t elect old Mcscared who runs away from his campaing,pulls out from Michigan and acts like someone who wants to start a war with Obama.
McWar cool your temper sir!!!!!!!!!

Without a doubt– Barack Obama scored another homerun tonight. While I’d originally considered voting McCain, the performance of McCain and Palin has convinced me that it is Obama & Co. who truly have our nation’s interests most at heart, as evidenced by both debates, now.

Obama wins because he MUST. Please, all you “Joe Six Packs” who fall for Sarah Palin’s patronizing cliches – do us all a favor and treat yourself to a second six-pack the night before the election so you’ll be too hungover to vote. Let those of us who actually want someone smarter than we are to run the country, vote in the guys who actually are.

Obama is unequivocally the next President of the United States. He was more direct, less defensive and less likely to be a war-seeking President. At last a little hope in all this mess!

McCAIN WON! After watching the debate, I was thinking that John McCain had won the debate. I was impressed with his passion to serve our country, his positive encouragement, his experience in Vietnam & Congress, his bipartisan efforts, and his knowledge and judgment regarding foreign policy. With the major financial crisis and the wars we have, we need someone with experience. So it was very frustrating for me to hear George Stephanopolus (sp?) announce, just a short moment after the debate was finished, that Obama had won the debate. No, I do not think he had won. To hear George say that right away could sway citizens’ opinions. I think it would be more wise for the media to not say anything until the morning after the debate. That would give us citizens time to think over the debate and make up our own minds.

I agree with dianna that this was pretty much a draw. He says he’s a democrat planning to vote for McCain. I’m a republican-turned-independant that plans to vote for Obama. We agree this was a draw. No clear knockouts.

No doubt. OBAMA

Obama won. Smiling all the way to the White Houe.Obama/Biden or Bust

McCain won – he has the background and knowledge to lead our country out of this crisis and put us back in balance.

Obama easily. He speaks and understands the people. McCain lectures us as if were all inferior to his experience and knowledge.

Obama´s speech sounds like a fairy tale: ´Once upon a time there was a community organizer … ´
Sorry, guys, I don´t want Cinderella man in the White House.
His speech is so ridiculous, naive, idealistic, out of touch that makes me get embarrassed.
He can promise paradise on earth to all americans, but real life is quite different.

Overwhelmingly, OBAMA won the debate! 2 for 3 with one more debate to go. 3 for 4 if you count Biden’s win.

Obama clearly won the debate. McCain is a spoiled, arrogant, child of privilege and it clearly showed during the debate. Does McCain still want to put Social Security in the hands of the Stock Market like Bush? McCain is pro-Big Business as are all of his policies. His choice of Palin as a running mate is a clear example of his poor judgement.

McCain won. Obama’s health plan sounds like the same old garbage Clinton promised when he was campaigning. What happened to that universal health care the Democrats rode into the White House with? It’s the same old horse Obama is riding.

McCain
Is sane!
Obama
Needs his Moma (michelle)
Who looked angry as hell
When he said that she’ll tell
What he didnt know
That was low..
McCain all the way
McCain on a rainy day
The economy is bad
We need a dad
Not a kid with a mission
Full of ambition
A power grabber par excellence
Who spouts nonsense
So eloquently till he’s blue
You almost believe its true
Change? Be careful for you pray
Because you may cry for yesterday
I say McCain, McCain, McCain all the way

Obama did better.

obama won. hey cindy mcain are to good to shake hands

The Day has finally come.
We have the deliverer.
OBAMA means “blessed.” In Arabic
Finally Americans are seing the light That it takes the chosen one to lead us.
Our message will finally be Understood because we have OBAMA.
Thanks you Brothers for being in our side

I think “that one” won – Barack Obama!

Obama won, no contest…intelligence, diplomacy, integrity, solutions. McCain is desperate and pathetic with all that ‘tough’ talk and phony “My friends” repetitive crap. McSame.

Everyone is so passionate for their candidate, therefore, they are not being objective about the debate. THEY BOTH DEBATED WELL. TIE.

Obama won by far

People saying Obama doesn’t answer questions… What debate did you watch? You obviously weren’t watching the same debate the rest of us were tuned in to. Open your eyes. Learn to accept the truth. Your candidate fails, on all counts. Don’t get too upset come November 5th. It’s not good for your blood pressure.

Obama was much more concise than McCain, but neither candidate really hit home considering the state our country is in. The U.S. is bankrupt if one will really take a look. The past economics of grow the economy has finally caught up with us and is correcting itself. We as Americans are going to have to realize we cannot operate on credit in the Federal Government as well as in each persons home. We all are going to have to go back to the fact that one only finances an amount that does not exceed 25% of his or hers net worth and our government needs to follow the same thought.

Senator Obama clearly won the debate. He showed a good deal of poise and did answer the questions. McCain, on the other hand, continued his lack of respect for Senator Obama that he displayed in the first debate where he wouldn’t even look Senator Obama in the eye. Tonight, he didn’t even have the respect to call him Senator Obama; instead, he said, “That one.” I am a middle-aged Caucasian female who is deeply offended by John McCain’s arrogance and disrespect. Actually, I just think he’s plain rude. If you want to know if McCain is a real maverick, you might take the time to read the revealing article in Rollingstone on news stands on Oct. 16. Very, very interesting reading.
I do believe Senator Barack Obama will be our next president and I celebrate that fact. Congratulations, Senator Obama!

McCAIN WON!
How come nobody asked Obama why he has had Franklin Raines, Tim Howard and Jim Johnson working on his campaign?
Oh, for those of you Obama fans who don’t know who they are–
Franklin Raines – former Chair and a CEO of Fannie Mae who was forced to retire in 2004 and left with $240 million package.
Tim Howard – a former CFO of Fannie Mae that was also forced to retire because of manipulations in 2004 and left with a $20 million “golden” parachute.
Jim Johnson- Former Exec with Lehman Brothers and Fannie Mae is being investigated for taking illegal loans from Countrywide and left with a $21 million package.
So if you’re an Obama fan and have lost your house–think again of the company he keeps and the company he will probably continue to have advise him…
I’m sure abc won’t print this since Charlie is such an Obama fan himself.

I’m a registered independant, but was was in favor of Obama for some time- just full disclosure.
I prepared myself to watch the debtate with an open mind and to feel impressions each candidate left and hear both of their words without judgement based on bias.
Both candidates evaded questions. Both went for spin doctor tactics in attempts to illicit certain responses. Sadly, that is what politics, and so much else in life has become- morphing things that should matter into tiny digestible sound, video, or blog bytes…
Both men are more complex than we saw tonight. The art of polictis is more complex than we saw tonight, hell, life is more complex than a presidential cmapaign and several debates, but we’ve become a culture that eagerly or apathetically hands of our own perosnal reasoning skills to pundits, polls, and funny SNL skits. Our hearts, conditioned by being jaded, sorrounded by defensive walls.
Which candidate answered your own personal questions in such an uncertain time? Calmed your fears? Gave you hope? Made you proud to be American? Made you want to get off the couch and contribute to someone else, to your community, to your country?
In my opinion, those are the questions we should seriously ask ourselves, internally utilizing our own individual brains, before casting our votes, and not relying on others- be it the media, or our co-workers, or our neighbors to tell us what we should think!
For the record, after my diatribe, Obama answered FOR MY REASONING, for MY OWN HEART the questions best, calmed my fears, gave me hope for restoring our relationship in the world. Your answer may be different than mine and that’s ok as long as it comes from your own reason, and your own heart…

Obama and William Ayeers are attached at the hip so if you want a terrorist based president then vote Obama

McCain never stops talking about his records to belittle Obama,but I think it doesn’t work.He has been in the senate for almost three decades.How come he has followed Bush so naively in a war that has cost us so much in human and financial losses.what kind of records is he talking about here? Is it a bad thing to create more allies in the world or more enemies? Was Russia not an enemy before an ally? You are really out of touch here Senator McCain.Should you ever become our next president,don’t be ashamed.Take lessons from him.I think they’ll serve your term and this country you claim you love so much.

Oh, and what is Obama’s middle name?
Oh, and what did he say about Iran?
Oh, what did Tony Rezko do for Hussein (Oops that is his middle name in case you did not know), I mean Obama?
What did Joe say about his good friend, stand up (some good friend Joe did not know his “good friend” was paralyzed!
Oops, did Obama not just reaffirm his friendship with William Ayers?
Before you boast, do some research and learn what your commi… I mean candidate stands for.

Obama won,I am a white christian and I’m tired of people doing and saying things in the name of God. I’ts clear that McCain and Palin are racists, just like a lot of white America. Why can’t you do what the Bible says, help those who are poor and less fortunate, not give HUGE tax breaks to rich crooks who already manipulate the system. Please America open your eyes and see whats really happening in our county.

Obama’s responses were weak.
My big concern is why haven’t we dug in deeper about Obama’s past associations and radical affiliations months ago when we first heard about Ayres, Wright, ACORN, etc.? Obama sat on a board with a person who has bombed the Pentagon, and this is being passed off as nothing???
For 20 years he sat in the pews of Reverend Wright’s church and says he didn’t know that R. Wright had these ideals.
How convenient it is to blame the bringing up of this “subject” as “McCain’s last ditch effort to smear Obama” well, take a look at Obama’s acquaintenances–I smell a …
And how can the demcrats say that McCain is not focusing on the economy…when look who sat back and said “call me if you need me” and McCain went to Washington and was agreeing to put off the debate until a bailout plan could be worked out. McCain had asked Obama many times for some debate time and each time Obama declined. I hope we hear more in the news media about the support and affiliations that Obama had with these radicals, I have a feeling many eyes are going to be opening.
McCain and Palin ’08

McCain! Obama IS scary!

McCain dominated.

The news media. Not the American people! You’ve made and elected an individual who has a spin machine behind him and you are all responsible for what happens.

Obama won. McCain acted like a childish,smug nerd. McCain misquoted Obama and it was condescending to the audience to think they wouldn’t notice.
Shaking a veterans hand, “kissing babies”..all show, not enough to balance the budget. Despite what others say,Obama does explain his plans, and I am listening.I was undecided until this debate.

Obama won – even the GOP Pundits on CNN graciously admitted he won. But the next time McCain says that he knows how to hunt down and capture Bin Laden I would love to hear Obama call him on it and ask McCain why he has chosen to keep this his own little secret for 7 years!
That-One/Biden 09 ….Your Betcha ;-)

OBAMA won not doubt!!!

I’m voting for “that one.”

Obama won. I got very tired of McCain and his “My friends”…..
Both did ok…. but nothing earth shattering! I thought Obama gave the better answers. I too felt that McCain showed no respect and I didn’t like the “that one” remarks either….very rude.
Obama won another round.

Obama didn’t win because many questions he did not answer but all of the left wing media will put that grand lie out for their guy to manufacture the results for this election. Same thing they did with Kerry.

Obama Lanslide??????? Who are you kidding! He answered few questions and the ones he did answer, showed his socialist tendencies. Apparently some people are so unversed that they really have no clue what they’re seeing.
McCain answered questions thoroughly and completly and certainly understood, based on experience, what they issues are/were.

LADIES AND GENTLMEN, I GIVE YOU…BARAK H. OBAMA – LISTEN TO THE ISSUES IF YOU HAVE EARS, THINK WHO’S SMARTER IF YOU HAVE BRAINS, FEEL THE RIGHT CHOICE IN YOUR CONSCIENCE IF YOU HAVE A HEART ….
WHAT MAKES A GREAT COUNTRY? – GOOD ECONOMY, WHEN PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO GET AHEAD, NOT BEHIND, HOW WE INTERACT WITH OTHER COUNTRIES, AND HOW WE DON’T WANT TO SEND OUR BRAVE TROOPS DIE IN A WAR THAT MAKES NO SENSE,JUST MORE OIL MONEY FOR THE RICHES – FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS WE WENT SO FAR BACK, AND MCCAIN WILL ONLY MAKE IT WORSE, EVER HEARD OF INVESTING INTO AN ALTERNATIVE ENERGY?, SO THAT OUR RICH OIL TYCOONS WON’T HAVE TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD’S NATURAL RESOURCES.
- OBAMA WON IF OUR NATION HAS ANY LOGIC AND INTELLECT LEFT. AND FOR THOSE PEA BRAINS WHO THINK OTHERWISE, LET ME SAY ONE MORE TIME, LOOK BEHIND THE AGE, RACE, BEHAVIOR OR ORIGIN, LOOK INTO THE MAN’S WAY OF THINKING, AND YOU’LL SEE WHY… ONLY OBAMA!
HERE’S HOPING FOR THE BEST CANDIDATE I’VE SEEN IN A LONG LONG TIME – OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA!

To answer your question Carl,
Whatever did McCain mean by he would buy all the failed mortgages?
Within the bailout plan that was just passed, there is a 7 billion dollars provision to do exactly this. I was wondering when this component was going to be shared…and it finally was tonight by Mitt Romney.

Thank you for correcting me, Ronski. It was Jerry Farwell who said America deserved 911.

Deb, actually Jerry did not say America deserved 9/11.
I am not a Jerry fan but if you are going to quote anyone, your comrade Hussein, or Jerry, (or make a feeble, uneducated, whimsical, grasping, and desperate attempt) try to at least be directionally accurate.

Obama came off very strong tonight — very presidential.

Who won? Well, who actually answered more questions? Simple answer. Obama avoided actually answering virtually every question.

I had a group of 18-year-olds who watched the debate with my husband and I. They were undecided going in, but all decided that MCCAIN easily won the debate. Then they listened to the commentaries that all said differently and were wondering how the NEWS EXPERTS could get it so wrong. My answer is…John McCain easily won the debate and he also won a group of undecided first-time voters!

M. Olson, thank you for the post.
It gives me and many others a glimmer of hope that there is some intellect left in our future. That an 18 year can figure out less taxes and more spending hmmm how can that be good.
MAYBE Iraq was a bad idea, and what if we did not do what we did, we were attached AGAIN after 9/11, Hussein and his minions (I bet a dollar some do not know what this means) would be saying that Bush and the Republicans were asleep at the wheel.
It is easy to be a Monday morning quarterback; it is even easier if you are a quarterback in the Pee Wee football league.

Obama definitely. McCain’s efforts to ingratiate himself with the audience struck me as patently insincere and his maudlin sentiment frankly makes me sick. Further, he attacked Obama using the same old tactics he used in the first debate and spent a lot of time doing so, rather than focusing on the issues and explaining his plans for dealing with them. He can certainly destroy, but can he build? I think not.

OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA

NORA,
You stated that we went so far back in the past 8 years?????? Where are you getting your information? The first 6 years of the BUSH term, the HOUSE was REPUBLICAN controlled CONGRESS.
A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO
1.) CONSUMER CONFIDENCE STOOD AT A 2 1/2 YEAR HIGH
2.) REGULAR GAS SOLD FOR $2.19 A GALLON
3.) THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE WAS 4.5%
4.) THE DOW HIT A RECORD HIGH 14,000
5.) AMERICAN’S WERE LIVING GOOD
SINCE THE DEMOCRATS TOOK CONTROL OF THE HOUSE
1). CONSUMER CONFIDENCE HAS PLUMMETED
2.) GAS IS AROUND $4 A GALLON
3.) UNEMPLOYMENT IS UP TO 5.5% (10% increase)
4.) 1% of AMERICAN HOMES ARE IN FORECLOSURE
5.) AMERICAN’S HAVE SEEN THEIR HOME EQUITY DROP BY $12 TRILLION AND STILL DROPPING
6.) THE DOW IS DOWN 5000
One thing to remember is the President has NO CONTROL over any of these issues………….
ONLY CONGRESS!N

Obama won.

To help all out….
Socialism – a government in which the means of planning, producing, and distributing goods is controlled by a central government that theoretically seeks a more just and equitable distribution of property and labor; in actuality, most socialist governments have ended up being no more than dictatorships over workers by a ruling elite.
Communism – a system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single – often authoritarian – party holds power; state controls are imposed with the elimination of private ownership of property or capital while claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people (i.e., a classless society).
I will be voting against either or both of these options … GO McCAIN!!!!

Barack Obama, Obama, Obama. 3 votes in this household.

Obama, hands down! McCain seemed stiff, brittle and, as usual, condescending… and a bit irritable. Obama was presidential, in command of his information and forward-looking.

Does Obama speak good? Yes. But what is he saying? He dances around the questions. makes you think he answered it and when you look back….there is nothing. Mr. McCain may be old but he does not bring hate among the people. “Tax the rich”. If you are poor don’t worry – I will tax the rich and give it to you. Bill Ayers said “Kill the rich”. What is this hate for the rich all about? It is nothing but trying to persuade neighbors to hate each other and try to take from one another.
Has anyone noticed Mr. Obama when he referred to his “FIRST TERM”. WOW! How many terms does he think he will win?
The polls, they do not reflect anything. A lot of people do not use texting on the cell phones. A lot of people don’t even get on the computer much. They work, they take care of family and they make their vote on Nov 4.
McCain/Palin 08

Obama won. You know “that one”!
John Macain was insolent, floundering and his attack smelled like something was left in the open too long.

JOHN MCCAIN WON, clear to us whom have intelligence. Herein lies in the problem. Obama supporters (kids in college, young adults at work) who do not work, but sit on the computer all day and swamp the blogs. Unlike McCain supporters who think polls and computer interactive votes are ridiculous. Therefore, you will see that on the blogs.. there are more votes for Obama. When the time comes to vote, McCain supporters will come out IN PERSON..and do what is right for America, which is vote for the man who exudes confidence and experience in being the next commander in chief. Obama is a fad for the younger generation that will fade just like bell bottoms did.

No way,no how No McCain

Obama won the debate not just because he’s black.But because he explained every question with honesty and clarity.I think that if people look beyond skin color and look at who has the best plan,then your vote will be easy.Whenever Mcain speaks he only speaks about when he served.He states that he has experience,I would like for him to clarify for me what experience he has in making things better.Through all the debates him nor Sarah Palin has pointed out what they really did in the past to help the American people.Please explain to me Mcain & Palin without attacks.

Obama won without a doubt. He is calm, cool and collected and DESERVES to be our commander in chief. He can help our country heal. God bless him.
