If there had been no war, there would have been no need for a surge. He didn't hit this hard enough. I also think Barack needs to appeal to the people that he's ready to give up. Appalaichan Whites for example... Obama simply needs to remind them that McCain is not gonna help them one damn bit. He won't fund education, child care, etc. Obama needs to say "If you don't like me, that's okay, but here is my plan and I will take care of you anyway."

So I had a "debate party" and all the participatees have just gone home, hence my late contribution ... I think it was a wash. Barack should have hit harder and McCain wasn't as crappy as I expected. There were two things I had fundamental issues with: one, Barack should have called him out as the liar that he is. Instead of saying "That is untrue", he should have just said, "John, that is a lie." It would have been much more powerful. My other issue is the surge. If there had been no war, there woul |

strong post-debate numbers for bho on cbs, cnn, msnbc...favorable rating from abc...the "i will not recognize u as worthy" by mac and bho holding his ground on foreign policy appeared to have favored bho...still think daily tracking numbers will go mac's way...did anyone really think that there was going to be any foreign policy discussion in this foreign policy debate?

I wouldn't say jm "won." he did as expected: rested on his experience, treated his opponent with disrespect. But bo, was better than he's been in debates. In that way, I think he performed better than expected. he certainly came across as presidential. |

Cheryl, u may just be right, its probably the case that he knows, but realizes that as the first black male in his position, his will never be a landslide KO, but more so a steady uphill battle that can only be won steadily, and perhaps that is his true genius. That is probably why he could only beat Clinton only just... maybe its just that he understand it better than we! And that is a fitting way to end the debate |

Not a good idea to talk about dad BO. |
Ted Fiskevold:

BO has succeeded in bringing the issues that matter to 90 % of Americans back to the table. JMc has been supporting bush on every veteran's program that has been cut. Veteran does not simply mean those who went to Iraq... |

ya'll who keep looking for bo to kick jm's ass are in denial about how LOTS of Americans feel about angry black guys. Look how they responded to Jeremiah Wright. As tough as this is to watch, I honestly don't think bo has a choice. Besides, it's not his style. |
Victor Minjares:
Fri 09/26 22:35 EDT |
JM is attacking BO directly - BO is stubborn like B2? JM has the nerve to president, that's for sure. |

I suspect that BO's advisors are nervous and probably warn him constantly about coming off as teh angry black man, but for crisskae, he's already passed the threshold, he beat Clinton for crissake!!! Oh god, another BO doesn't understand, and the media will bite and repeat those lines ad nauseum! |

BO is terrible at this. He needs to kick ass, but he's afraid of being a scary brown man. Wake up BO, the ones who would think that will do so anyway. Fight like a civilized man - this is a debate about the future of the country. |

Andrea Hazell:
Fri 09/26 21:21 EDT |
McCain is afaraid to look at Barack. He will not address him directly. |
Chi Vo:
Fri 09/26 21:21 EDT |
why can't McCain look at Obama? I wonder |
Greg Fawcett:
Fri 09/26 21:20 EDT |
but of course mac didn't see the "clean-up" light until he was caught...interruption!, adversarial exchange, let's keep it up |

Billy Sparks:
Fri 09/26 21:11 EDT |
Obama much stronger and posture more self assured. |
Andrea Hazell:
Fri 09/26 21:10 EDT |
why did Mccain have to mention Senator Kennedy? It is not his storey to tell. Here we go again bring in the drama when you are looking weak. |
Greg Fawcett:

dwight, u and politico win...299 scenario gives fl, nc, nev and nm to mac...but has iowa and indiana in bho column, which is certainly ambitious |
Greg Fawcett:
Fri 09/26 20:35 EDT |
marsh?...reed?...keelan?...rudy?...mcmahon wants to know |
Steve McMahon:
Fri 09/26 19:54 EDT |
299 would be good. A little optimistic, perhaps. But very good. I think it's looking a little closer than that right now. Around 285. |
Steve McMahon:
Fri 09/26 19:53 EDT |
Just checking to see if there are any Republicans out there. Guess not. Or not tonight. Or at least not now.
The coast is clear. |
Greg Fawcett:
Fri 09/26 19:46 EDT |
i had it at 299, but w a lot of states that could swing back 2 mac...let's see what the master, chuck todd says...or mr. mcmahon
|
Steve McMahon:
Fri 09/26 19:44 EDT |
So, who's gonna win the debate tonight? |

yesterday was the pearl harbor of political maneuvering...mac vows to parachute in...d's and a few r's announce an imminent agreement (with significant movement by the admin)...expectation for mtg w president was that mac would stand in front of the mic's and say he had delivered the r's...oops...i think shelby has been spot on w many of his remarks...the irony is that d's and r's were saying many of the same things: relief for homeowners/keep them in their homes; upside for taxpayers; caps on comp...by the |

... America with a rubber mallet and hit people upside the head to knock them out of their delusional McCain/Palin reverie. Here's to hoping the stunt backfires. |
Adriane Butler:
Thu 09/25 23:16 EDT |
He's got to protect his friends, so he went to DC to lobby for his cronies .... he wants no oversight which means less regulation, no capital gains, corporate tax breaks, etc.... how someone can be so pathologically blind to the situation we are in right now... I hope he donates his brain to science- I wanna see what the hell is in there.
As for the debate, he knows he's knee deep because the focus will have to shift to the economy, which of course, he knows nothing about. I want to run around America wi |
Greg Fawcett:
Thu 09/25 16:21 EDT |
will mccain's stunt backfire, or will he sway the electorate that he actually had something to do with a bailout deal? |

a night about foreign policy, bho needs to hammer his "record" on foreign policy: on iraq we are as close to the timetable that he laid out that we could be; having exhausted all other options, W has moved preemptively into Pakistan and Afghanistan; finally, there is dialog with Iran...all were his calls |
