Were the people at home and in the seats the only ones that realized there were 2 candidates on stage? From the video I saw Sen. McCain didn't even know that Sen. Obama was on the stage. Never once looked at him even when he was being addressed by Sen. Obama.

I agree he didn't look at him much, but he did look at him several times.

Its one thing to not look at him while the moderator is talking or while he is talking but to completely ignore him when he knows Sen. Obama is not only talking to him but also looking at him seemed odd and disrespectful.

Half of the time when McCain speaks I feel like im watching an Oliver North flick.

I get the feeling I'm watching a Porky Pig cartoon while Obama speaks, so I feel your pain. :creepy:

We all know that's not McCain's best setting, he's more comfortable in a true town hall meeting setting. It really didn't bother me.

McCain won.

Does anyone else get tired of the same one liners? I noted in a previous thread that i had heard Palin's speech at least 4 times, with the same jokes and the same lines. Tonight I heard, yet again, about the DNA of some bears (not sure if that is a paternal question or a criminal one) and about not being voted Miss Congeniality in the US Senate......yet again! What is more rehearsed then this?

So, nothing on the same rehashed stuff from Obama?

I'm polishing my crystal ball, and...

 

Olbermann, Maher and Carville believe that Obama won big time,

 

Limbaugh, Hannity and Coulter think McCain knocked it out of the park,

 

 

 

 

 

And 7 out of 10 independents give the edge to Obama.

Is there a more meaningless interview than the post-debate/post-speech interview with representatives from each party?

 

Nope.

I'm about an hour into the replay (didn't see it live, football game) and I quoted the one liners that I had heard. Which ones from Obama have I missed or not heard?

Should we get a poll up?

Should we get a poll up?

 

I think it should look like this:

 

Who won the debate?

 

McCain won decisively

McCain won, barely

Push

Obama won, barely

Obama won decisively

No Opinion/Unsure

Let's hope that only those that watched the entire debate cast their votes...that leaves me out.

Polling coming out tonight is going heavily for Obama, especially among independents or non-committed. I thought the debate was very close, giving a slight edge to McCain, so if this polling stands up it means America doesn't like what McCain is saying.

Again, that's the barometer to keep an eye on.
