obama won hands down

McCain could only try to show how much more experience he has, but failed. Obama knows the facts, sees more angles, and understands much more deeply the problems this country is facing and has a clearer idea of how to fix them. Basically, all I got out of McCain could be summed up with this sentence: “I’m old, I’m rich, I’m a maverick and a sheriff. Vote for me.”
I for one don’t want another senile president like Reagan or another rich guy like Bush. It’s time for some new ideas, new direction and Obama showed he’s the better choice by far.

As a lifelong St. Louisian, I am very proud of our city for earning this distinction. It shows our residents care about our country and have a higher level civic-mindedness. Let’s put a Democrat in the White House and end the madness of the Republican regime before our economy implodes.

Do not change horses midstream. Stay the course in Iraq and in the economy and we will weather this!

I’m not sure which Obama showed up last night.

Was it the one who said he would cut funding to untested missile defense systems or the one that says he is for it to appear like he knows something.

Was it the one that first called for the restraint of both parties when Russia invaded Georgia or the one that falsely claims he immediately condemned Russia?

Was it the one that says he is for nuclear energy but called for no future expansion in the past?

Was it the one that claims he will not raise taxes on the middle class but the same one that one that will roll back the Bush tax cuts which is effectively ‘raising taxes’.

I know I did see the same John McCain I have for many years and am aware that he has a long and distinguished record and was going against the administration arguing for more troops which is now known as the surge. You know the one Obama was against but is now demanding for Afghanistan.

Now I did see the Obama that plans to raise corporate taxes which ultimately trickles down to a raising of our costs for the products and services delivered by those corporations. Anyone with a clue knows that businesses don’t really pay taxes.. you do it for them in one way or another, they just collect it. Take a look at your grocery receipt. It isn’t called a purchase tax. It is just a populist trick to make the rubes feel like they are teaching those mean old rich companies a lesson.

I also saw the Obama that blatantly lied about what Henry Kissinger had said.

Now some may see this as the attributes of a deep thinker seeing all the angles. But out here in cattle country we call it something else. It litters our pastures.

McCain was a man debating a boy. It was not even close.

Exceptionally interesting that you noted Phoenix was at the bottom. They are so tired of John McCain’s broken record that they’ve tuned him out. For Obama to have won a debate on National Security, McCain stands little chance of being our President. The election is less than 45 days away. Out with the old, and in with the new. Go Obama go!

Republican in Missouri,

No thanks. ‘Midstream?’ Iraq came under our control in less than a month. It took FOUR years before the surge. Please, please, please understand Bush and the Republicans were WRONG about WMDS and WRONG about any collaboration between Saddam and al Quaeda. 4,000 dead US soldiers, 30,000 injured, 150,000 to 1 million Iraqis killed. 8 years of Bush and Osama Bin Laden is STILL sending out video! WAKE UP!!

Biden did an excellent job with the follow-up interviews…Wher was Sarah?
Oh,,,, never mind.
“And this is like the water in the ocean and this is my state Alaska next to Canada and when Pootin rears his head this is me and I’m a Governorness of a big state… (giggle giggle.)”

That wasn’t a debate…it was an argument. What a pathetic representation of our political system.
