Well it seems that Joe the plumber has replace Joe sixpack.

CNN are going to have an interview with HRC.

McCain huffed and puffed and almost blew my tv away. What was with the deep breathing through the mike? He looked like he was going to become unhinged on several occasions during the debate.

[David_Vickers]

John McCain may have repudiated racists and other ignorant souls at his ralllies. He did in fact state that he was proud of them. He said he was proud of the people who come to his and Palin's rallies. I have no use or respect for McCain whatsoever. I think George W. Bush, whom I cannot stand, is a much better person than McCain. McCain is so rich and out of touch, it's pitiful and unAmerican imho.

I'm a little surprised that the focus group on CNN thought that Obama won and that those 3 undecideds went for him.

[David_Vickers]

I did listen to John McCain's statement very thoroughly and carefuly. He did say what you said, but he did say he was proud of the people who attend his and Sarah Palin's rallies, and did not make exceptions for the ones making racist statements. He has repudiated them yes in the past and I give him credit for that and it would be very nice, American and Christian of Sarah Palin to do likewise but she has not. I did not distort McCain's words at all. I typed my comment about it right after the lying idiot made the comment. I did so on purpose, so I wouldn't forget his comment! Maybe Max, you should listen to your loser of a candidate more closely yourself.

I am not fanatical or a lunatic and yes Sarah Palin is a poor mother imho, based on her children's drug use, alcohol use and her daughter getting knocked up once (maybe twice), and dragging her kids everywhere including the baby (or grandbaby, lol) with Down's Syndrome and I guess another kid has Autism, first I've heard of that, but McCain could be lying about that (he's such a habitual liar, I wouldn't be surprised.

Maybe McCain's not a racist, but the way he acted tonight sure made him sound like it. Plus his first debate with him not looking at Obama at all and in his second calling Obama "that one".

Maybe you should calm down a little Max.

News reports here in Australia say that Obama is leading by 14% points.

[David_Vickers]

CNN poll , Obama's favorable rating up to 66% from 63% and McCain's favorable rating down from 51% to 49%. Also a huge majority 68% stated that Obama won the debate.

[SnCCorinthos4ever]

And the fact that McCain did try to interrupt Obama and McCain was laughing and smirking at Obama which in MHO was very unproffessional.

I wonder if the reason why American's are angry and upset is because the rich buddies of the Republicans that were running these failed banks still have their multi million dollar payouts for their retirement while the average person may have lost all theirs.

McCain got in one very good line.....he's not Bush.

Obama got in a good line about Fox News.

McCain spent too much time painting himself as a victim of John Lewis when that whole issue had already been addressed and McCain exaggerated what was said. If people were at Obama or Biden's rallies calling McCain terrorist, traitor or suggesting that he should be killed there would have been some coverage so it doesn't seem that anyone at Obama/Biden rallies have said anything close to that and his whining seemed pathetic. I haven't heard him say that people should not say those things at all.

He tried to correct one woman who called Obama an Arab and he told one man who said he was afraid of Obama that Obama was a decent man. If he repudiated that then he wouldn't still be trying to make the commection between Obama and a terrorist. It's not sufficient to say that he is using that as an example of Obama lying since there are surely less contentious and inflammatory examples.

I saw a clip of people booing when Obama mentioned McCain and Obama told them that we don't need that, we need to vote.

[SnCCorinthos4ever]

Also to add to this he said that the Govt would guarantee the safety of all bank accounts no matter how much is in them. This includes credit unions and building society's.

[SnCCorinthos4ever]

WOW the poll on who spent more time on attacking his opponet this campagin. (please excuse my spelling)

McCain 80%

Obama 7% (or was is 9%)

[EricaKane70]

for McCain I thought it would be more like 90%, he spends more time talking about obama in his ads instead of talking about the issues.

As for the debate I was proud of obama for keeping his cool and trying to answers questions about issues that important to the american people instead of crap like Ayers and other supposed terrorists associations.

I was happy that Obama made the abortion point by saying that nobody is pro-abortion. Nobody wants abortion as a means of birth control. It's just one of the slippery-slope arguments that doesn't have any traction in reality.

[Wales2004]

Pat Buchanan is on MSNBC criticizing Obama for being more centrist while Rachel Maddow is maintaining that Obama hasn't shifted and was never as liberal as portrayed in the first place. Buchanan is with McCain in terms of looking at the mother's health as a boilerplate excuse for abortion. I think it's unwise to mock that.

I don't get why they expected Obama to say Palin wasn't unqualified....that's like a land mine.
