    You're giving the candidates way too much credit.

    I am pissed to all hell. I passed on the following to watch this lame ass debate:

    A) The Rockets game

    B) The latest Heroes episode that I DVR'd

    C) Playing 2K9 for the first time

    Icehouse...you are an idiot. You fail!!!!!!!!!!

    I think he's saying that Russia and China would try to prevent UN sanctioned intervention. Or something like that.

    McCain won this question about Iran. Obama's answer is too rational.

    Obama scared me when he said that healthcare insurance companies would go to the state with the least regulation and set up shop like the credit card companies did with DE, if McCain allows you to buy across state lines. I am sure that some states will actually be targeted by healthcare insurance companies to deregulate further, so they can really rip us off.

    I just watched 60 seconds of it, McCain appears old and feeble- he is in danger of getting smashed in Nov.

    Obama is a little too sure of himself, I don't agree with most of his core policy but he has a chance to win with a huge public mandate.

    Were the questions from the audience just not tough enough? This is the same stuff we've been hearing from both of them.

    The questions from the audience for the most part have been questions most of us have already had answered.

    I doubt either candidate will actually answer this last question...

    Same. Obama definately didn't, but came off well doing the way he said it.

    Obama pulled a Palin on the last question. Boooo............

    It seems like McCain is doing the same.

    Of course they won't answer it. It's a trap question that requires a spin answer. In either candidate actually answered the question they would get pummeled.

    OMG, Obama/McCain doesn't know _____!

    Lol. I think I was right...


    Obama: Ignored the question.
    McCain: I don't know the unknown.

    The next debate should just have cutout cardboard pictures of them, and then ask the questions and use videoclips of previous answers. There's just nothing new in these things.

    I agree that I haven't really heard anything new...but really is this debate meant for me...or is it meant for those undecideds who don't spend everyday reading the latest news on the campaign, who have investigated the candidates, their background, the issues thoroughly?

    I think for me, it's less now about their positions, which I already know, and more about how I feel they're handling themselves.

    McCain was supposed to be a stronger debater in this format.

    He also needed to win tonight.

    He didnt, so Obama comes out looking good.
