    If it was Palin I would say it was a wristband with notes like the quarterbacks wear.....

    If it wasn't over before tonight, it is now.
    Obama was good, McCain was good too, but not good
    enough to win votes.

    Well said. I think McCain did better than he has, but not good enough. And, imho, all that blinking makes him look like a liar. All of his interrupting makes him look like an ass. You do want a steady hand on that tiller, even though we're not voting for best farmer here. Still, the steady hand is definitely Obama's. He's what I want in a president.

    Glad to see the discussion is so intelligent and mature tonight. :rolleyes:
    I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

    notice how it wasn't even a real debate? they agreed on too many issues for them to engage in any real institutional analysis, on anything really. they resorted to personal attacks and calling each other out on the issues more often than actually discussing the issues.


    When they talk about nothing, they leave us with nothing to talk about. so I am going to make fun of them.

    Obama had an excellent response for all of McCain's attacks. Ayeers, Accorn, Healthcare, Joe the Plumbers Health Care Fine, Abortion.

    I think McCain did better than other debates but I found him more repellent this time around. Odd facial expressions, excessive blinking, interrupting, and smug looks when he thought he did a good job bothered me. Obama was a bit flatter this debate in the beginning, but he stayed on message and had better answers overall than McCain.

    So WHAT??!!

    I don't get it. How can you people be so fucking superficial? It's insanity. All I heard from most of you a few weeks ago is that they need to address the issues. Now, when they are addressing the issues, you start talking about how they look and how many times they blinked. You're seriously gonna let the fate of the country lie in the balance of who reacted nicer or who blinked less?? Are you clinging that desperately to Obama that now the only way you can justify why you still support him is because he didn't blink as much?

    The guy's a fricken socialist, Obama that is. "Spread the wealth around." Direct quote. If that's not Socialism, I don't know what the fuck is!! And if you think people's money should be taken for no reason and given to other people for no reason you're insane. That's the most un-American thing I've ever heard a politician say. It doesn't matter what the reason is, people still have a right to their own property, and the government has no right to take it and give it to others, no matter how poor those others are. We are violating basic rights here.

    You are one angry dude ... a misinformed angry dude as well.

    How can you seriously look at McCain's home buyback plan, one that would allow banks to get off scott free, take NONE of the losses and pass on all the losses to the public, and shout at Obama at being a Socialist?

    If wealth has been concentrating into the hands of the upper class for the last 40 years (which it has been doing) shouldn't a leader put that money back where it belongs? fuck yeah "spread the wealth around".

    unless you think the rich should have it all, in that case my bad,

    McCain is certainly not the best choice, either. But he's the better choice. He still supports Federally-run education which is ridiculous. I have my qualms with McCain. Although I don't see what else we can do about the bank situation. We have to do what we have to do. It's the losses that would cause banks to go under and people to lose their money. It's a small price to pay for the large price we may have to pay if we don't do it.
