I can't take McCain seriously after watching this debate. How can anyone vote for him at this point? If he wasn't a Republican would Republicans vote for him?
That was an ouch for McCain. After sanctimoniously talking about how Palin (and he) are aympathetic to the needs of families with special needs children. Obama then notes that every advocacy group for special needs people say that they need funding for research in order to make a difference...which would be impossible under McCain's proposed spending freeze. Sick smile from McCain. So much for his attempt at pandering.
Newspapers and the media giving their view doesn't help IMO, but of course people believe it, which is not good. In the debates you get to see the candidates answer the question and debate each other, you cannot get the same in a newspaper.
Debates are almost entirely about redirecting the questions to the prepared statements each candidate wants to go into.
We should have debates with random people from across america coming up with questions. not prescreened....they are the moderators.....just pick 2 people to moderate a debate, asking two questions, then alternate them.
You can also read those plans that the candidates post on their websites....but that's just a crazy idea.
But seriously though I really don't understand what some of you guys here are seeing in Obama? He's not that special as you guys make him out to be, yes he's a socialist, he's he'll kill our freedoms when he takes office, but other than that he's just a big talker, lying left and right, blinding people eyes.
I suppose it is interesting to see to what extent a candidate will lie or forget some detail in a debate. But as far as "biased" news sources are concerned... That can't be helped. Every News channel is plagued with subjective analysis so I do not see your point. The debate is a memory and personality contest, while intriguing, a voter could easily decipher a candidate's character/positions from their website, etc.
"He'll kill our freedoms" Sounds like a John McCain supporter trying to make Obama out to be like he's Bin Laden. Nice try, but you fail. John McCain = George W. Bush
Obama's on the right side of the Iraq War, health care, net neutraility, alternative energy, and education. He's on the wrong side of abortion and drug freedom. It's quite an easy choice to make between the two. If the Republican party comes back, and washes out all these impostors, and have another candidate like George H.W. Bush, or what George W. Bush PROMISED to be (before shitting on his promises), then I may vote Republican in the future. I ain't voting for no neo-cons like McCain.

Hardly. I don't care for either canidate, I wanted Ron Paul to win it all. However, I don't want McCain representing the US, he's an embarrassment.
Why the hell does McCain keep talking about Joe the Plumber? He can't afford to buy the business he worked for (I guess the place he works for is selling their business), so what gives him the right to buy it?
