    Agreeing with your opponent shows class, congratulating your opponent shows class, thanking your opponent shows class.

    Only one guy showed class tonight.....

    Only one agreed occassionally with his opponent.

    Only one walked over and said "Good job, John."

    Only one and his wife walked across the stage to meet the other candidate and his wife.

    Obama....was the ONLY President on that stage tonight.

    McCain did much better on the economic crisis then I expected.

    Obama did well overall. No knock-outs.

    Seriously.

    Obama looked McCain dead in the eye from the moment he set foot on stage, John avoided eye contact at all cost.

    McCain snickered, guffawed, and flat out laughed at Obama several times.

    If you're voting on class and style, you're voting Obama.

    I agree. If we had two candidates who were so diametrically opposed on every issue our country would be in a lot of trouble.

    Like your post?


    At least I had a fact.


    Duck, dodge, dive, sputter... Just like Obama's response to "Senator Obama is naive and dangerous."

    No he was not.

    And certainly not by this large of a margin.

    Nope. It's only sad if you can realize that your candidate has no opinion of his own, and can't do anything but cater to the narrow minded Bush-haters who refuse to see that when he's in trouble Obama follows McCain's lead.


    McCain is the leader.


    Obama is the barometer.



    THE OBAMAROMETER IS SPINNING AGAIN!

    What a load of hogwash.

    Spend the entire week talking about the need for bipartisanship...

    My a**.

    You have to wonder if when McCain reached across the aisle he gave them the courtesy of a reach around.

    I wasn't referring to the presidential race poll.

    I was referring to the debate polls, nearly every poll had Kerry way ahead of Bush after the first debate.

    I thought that was mediocre, but he nailed it on his plan to clean-up the mess that are the defense contracts and kill the cost-plus contracts system.
