Farce

Debate? What a bomb. What a farce. What a joke. To begin with, McCain looked waxy and preserved like a corpse --all he needed was a coffin. I'm not kidding, he didn't look alive. The moderator, I forget his name, also looked Madame Taussaud-ish. Good grief. They looked like caricatures of living people; animated zombies.
McCain dominated the "debate" and ranted on and on, while Obama stood there acting like a schoolboy called to the principal's office. I wanted to see some sparks, some fire from him, but nada. And these are the two we have to choose from as president??

Sue from what I've seen, McCain is very likely going to lose. Palin helps Obama every time she opens her mouth. I usually don't like to discuss politics here but I've read several articles that say McCain's only chance is to get rid of her. He won't do that of course, too stubborn and it would make him look bad.

I was a little disappointed that Obama wasn't as smooth as he should have been but McCain was disgusting with his condescending "you don't understand" remarks. Now that we are in such deep economic peril we better have someone who will get us out of the Iraq sinkhole.

I also thought that Obama faired well even as he was being portrayed as "wet behind the ears."

I watched with my friends who are McCain supporters, so everyone carefully avoided taking sides to preserve the peace. We mostly discussed this recession that all of a sudden is said to be a sure thing after what seems to have been total denial of the possibility not so long ago. (Great sentence construction, ay?)

I watched the whole debate and it was McNasty and Obama kicking his arse. I thought it was very good with Barrack clearly winning.

McCain did look waxy and he spouted the same old rhetoric about how knowledgeable he is while Obama is still wet behind the ears. It didn't play well with me; I hope others saw through it as I did. Personally, I don't want another war monger in the White House.

You can't always get theater. I concentrated on substance. McCain was petty and dismissive and that doesn't play well with a lot of people, not just us. I think he's going to keel over. Not to worry. I do think the McCain crowd is going to self-destruct.

I agree with you Susil. Obama is a great telepromter reader, and does somewhat OK with well-prepared and prewritten issues, but he rates a "00" for thinking on the fly, even about that which he should know in advance.

I respect your view, but I think Obama was far superior in substance. McCain displayed his obstinate, stiff, dated, Cold War, last century, inflexible and adversarial view of the world which I think is outdated and dangerous. Obama is certainly right on Iraq: McCain was wrong in his assessment initially and has supported Bush and this fruitless war hook, line and sinker, putting our brave armed service personnel and our country's economic future in peril for nothing. Iraq was a mistake. I see may more Iraqs in our future if McCain is elected.
