But I saw an advert that said McCain won this debate.

Admittedly this was a few hours before the debate even started but still, John wouldn't lie to us, would he?

Seriously though, McCain put in his best performance yet, much more punchy and definitely much more ready to bring the fight to Obama. Yet I don't think he won even this one - Obama just looks like a steady set of hands and that's exactly what the country needs right now.

Oh and eloquence is a good thing for a world leader to have.

There were moments when I thought McCain was gonna double over with a heart attack, and I kept seeing Palin in the Oval Office with big moose antlers behind her and a look like Conan had at the end of the movie, I was shuddering....

McCain did better than I expected - he brought all he had and used it well, but in the end, not enough, I don't think.

Obama failed to follow up on a couple of gimme lines however, which is kind of him, but not gonna work when it gets down and dirty.

That one made me snicker..
"I am not President Bush. If you wanted to run against President Bush, you should've run four years ago."

Obama coulda really pasted him with that, if he had wanted to - I most certainly woulda followed up with something like...

"Oh yeah, better check in a mirror, because it sure sounds like it to me, especially since you're pushing essentially the same set of ruinously failed policies his administration has pursued in spite of the objections of most of their own constituents, so are you really so sure ?"

Delivered, of course, with a confident and gently patronising smile, inviting McCains notorious temper to compound the damage...

Obama was too nice - I woulda handed him his head on a plate every time he opened his mouth, but that's me...

EDIT: This just in.
Chris Buckley, son of verbal pugilist William F Buckley, threw in for Obama and after subsquent blackballings from the "Conservative" movement, has left the National Review, while expressing his dismay and displeasure at this course of events, in part due to them abandoning core values he felt important.

His father might not have approved, but I bet he would have understood - then buried his son under volumes of rhetoric from his amazingly impressive vocabulary...

"well, you may not walk like a duck, but you talk like a duck"

There was a debate tonight?

Under no circumstances could a socialist ever win a debate.

It's pointless.

Good thing there wasn't a socialist in this debate, then.

Of course, your point is ludicrous in the first place - if two socialists were debating, a socialist would likely win.

You have no case.

This world is a comedy for those who think, and a tragedy for those who feel.

Trolls Against McCain!

Obama - " Nobody likes taxes "

Biden - "It's time to be patriotic ... time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut."

So, which is it, guys ? No one likes taxes, and you wish you didn't have to pay any? Or it's your patriotic duty, and we should feel good about giving your hard earned $$ up to Uncle Sam.

I personally like McCain's idea, that we pay ENOUGH in taxes, and the only way now to save our nation is to make actual cuts... not smaller increases in Gov't spending, but actual real cuts!

You're not real good with trying to hold more than one idea in your head at a time, are you? You can NOT LIKE paying taxes, but still feel that it's your solemn duty to do so, BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. Why's that so hard for you to figure out?

Of course, since in your world 95% of us don't pay any taxes whatsoever, it really doesn't matter whether we like paying them or not, since so few of us actually do so...

Oh, and McCain likes taxes. They pay his salary. Also his gold-plated healthcare plan. Without our tax money, McCain might have to go look on the open market for his health care, instead of having his employer provide it. Let's see how far a $5000 tax credit gets him.

There's something I'd like to see - a Senator willing to live the way he expects US to live.
