Who won the Pres debate and why?

[whalewager]

McCain won.

Doesn't matter though because this election is going to come down to how many blacks, young people, and extreme left come out to vote on election day.

If the young stop listening to dead tupac long enough. If the blacks stop listening to dead tupac long enough. If the extreme left stop smoking dope long enough. If all those stop long enough to vote. McCain will not win.

So I say to you osama supporters, pull up your saggy pants, turn off your ipods, break away from your jobs, wait, you don't work. Go vote for the Muslim in disguise. This country is fd anyway.

Rip tupac. You were such a great hero to all of us. Lord only knows your words helped me to raise my kids correctly.

Senator McCain is right.......Senator McCain is absolutely right......Senator McCain is right. That the only thing I heard Obama said thru out the debate.

 

[cussin'it]

I think they both had their strengths as well as shortcommings.

Pretty much a tie, but would like to see Obama grill him more on the vote to occupy Iraq.

McCain sometimes came off as the angry old turd, Obama sometimes seemed too respectful.

I'd like to see a duel myself

 

[Willie99]

Both men did well, neither hurt themselves.

To me, McCain was often times able to draw on real life experiences and work them into responses, allowing him to look more like an "experienced leader", especially with foreign policy.

Obama came across more like a teacher, talking more about theory, but still was effective.

With UConn spanking the Ville on at the same time, I haven't yet watched the entire debate.

 

[Willie99]

McCain won and this is why.

Obama to his credit gets an A to an A+ on his ability to study and give an oral presentation of what he has read about.

McCain gets an A to an A+ to what he has lived through, experienced and has acted and help influence and passed legistlation on.

What shined through easily for me is Obama talked the talked McCain has walked the walk.

well said

one thing that i thought was interesting was i don't think mccain ever looked obama in the eye. i have it on DVR, but whenever obama looked at mccain he was either writing down notes, shuffling his papers, etc.

 

[whalewager]

I dont like to look idiots in the eye either.

thats a sign of weakness. sign of avoidance. you look the guy in the fact and tell him exactly whats what instead of looking away.

he was either trying to avoid him, or just tossing him off, looking down on him, etc. neither is good.

Either that or he was just uncomfortable with the things he was saying and the attacks he was making. If you believe it, are comfortable with it, and have conviction you will turn to the guy and tell him straight to his face.

Does anyone know the format for the next two debates? Are either one of them sitting down at a table facing each other? Then it would be really tough to avoid eye contact.

 

[whalewager]

No...whaT I really think is he is probably thinking...

Good God this guy is an idiot...How can the American people not see through his bullshit.

He is probably angry as hell and wants to punch the dumbfuck in the face....I see him clinching his jaw. Hes mad because he knows this Country is turning into shit and Obama will bury us in it.

Thanks

Mccain Obama

Ability to be talk like one of you (speak
in laymans terms) 5 3

Ability to appear intelligent 4 5

Coolness under Pressure 2 5

Charisma 4 4

Attacking Opponent 5 3



20-20 tie as I would rate it... I thought Mccain did a good job for what I was expecting, but he did have a lot of rhetoric, and feel good stories, which people can see through... kinda reminded me of W.

 

[whalewager]

obama is the king of feel good

 

[SwoleBonds]

obama landed more power punches-obama by tko

Tough to look in the mirror in the morning then? especially with your rhetoric.
