The Debate- what would you like to see tonight?

[hi_im_god]

i'd vote for both of them happily if one didn't have a dimmy stand in as vp candidate.

thought they both did great. national security was in mccain's wheelhouse and he did as well as i thought he would. a little frosty but solid on the issues.

obama was a little professorial as usual. anyone doubt he would have been the first asked in a clinton admin to fill the ginsburg seat on the court?

i still think it's obama's election to lose. economic winds are in his sail.

Agree.

And where is Mrs. Palin?
Guilliani speaks...
The omission is very interesting.

I am surprised both Palin and Biden were not in the audience...

they had Biden speak after the debate.

It was telling that McCain had an advisor named Wallace speak as opposed to Palin.

Both candidates were good, I had a tough time keeping my eyes open through the whole thing. I thought McCain was very strong on foreign policy and national security. Obama seemed very green in those categories and even seemed a bit rattled at times. His inexpierence showed and McCain tried to hammer the point home. Especially about him not getting it about Iraq. Obama seemed to be better with the national financial agenda (but there was a lack of details by both men). He keeps trying to link Bush and McCain in the same boat (pretty good strategy). But, he just doesn't come off being believable/creditable to me (obviousally I am for McCain). Just too much slick lawyer jive. Also he is too concerned with America being liked around the world. Nobody likes us execpt when they need us to bail/help them out with some sort of problem. Then they want to be our friends.
Bottom line result for tonight, since no one really got into deep details about financial ideas and plans (bailout still coming and everything else is very vauge) and then the whole foreign policy/national security. I would say that it was a small win for McCain.

It's really not like that. For a while I was hoping that McCain would take Condi Rice as his running mate. I think she is very intelligent and I think very highly of her. I thought see would have made a great VP and then would have been a very storng candidate for President in 4 years.
But obviously it is going to be tough enough for McCain to convince the public that he can change what has gone on for the last 8 years. Let alone having Bush's Sec. of State as his VP, so I understood that it just couldn't be.

Its interesting that you say that. I watched Rice the other night on Hannity ( i was flipping through) and I was reminded once again how sharp she is. Too much baggage though. A shame. She is everything Palin is not.

Condi = Brown Sugah!!
