Who Won Last Night's Debate? You Decide

Obama clearly beat Mcsame again. The old man needs to retire to his ranch in Arizona. Besides he's been Washington for 26 yrs. It is time for fresh , energetic, and visionary leader to lead us.

Obama 08

President Barack Obama

Obama won!
I'm not a Republican nor am I a Democrat. I'm somewhat a conservative and somewhat a liberal. But watching the debate, my feeling was that Obama reached out and touched the hearts of the people he was talking to. I especially liked his comment that it is a "right" for everyone to have health care if needed.

Obama won the debate. It is amazing for me to read the racist comments and believe that so many people are believing the smear campaign McCain/Palin are doing against Obama. Wasn't it McCain who said he would never run a "dirty" campaign? Well, he is now desparate to get into the White House, and he and Palin are running the worst smear campaign. If the democrats acted like that the pundits would be jumping all over them, but why is it OK for the Republicans to do this? Is Carl Rove back in action? McCain has always been for big businesses, he deregulated everything that could possibly be deregulated, how he wants the average Americans to believe that he cares about us. I don't think so, just like Bush doesn't care about us, neither does McSame. Look at the news, there have been three instances where middle class Americans, have hurt themselves or their families due to the economic crisis. WE have lost the majority of our retirement funds, for those that are close to retirement, it is over for them and also for pensioners who depended on their 401(k) plans for monthly income are losing. Do you really think a man that owes 13 houses, 13 cars, is married to a billionaire heiress, and was brought up with a silver spoon in his mouth can comprehend what we are feeling? I don't think so, just like Bush he never had to think about making a payment. Look at the news yesterday, credit card companies are going to start "penalizes" people, will the politicians step in to stop that action, NO! Once again the middle class is getting the dirty end of the stick, and if you believe McCain will be there for you, you are sadly mistaken. Maybe you can afford to live another four years under the same policies, but a lot of other Americans can't, so I say Go Obama/Biden!!!!!

The USA lost. McCain and Obama are throwing spitballs while the USA burns. Two adult candidates for the presidency of the once most powerful country in the world should be able to follow instructions, i.e., You have x amount of time...Answer the question!

Folks, experience is great, but character supercedes it everytime. Character gives you an overview of the whole person. Sen. McCain, poor taste lastnight in your constant referral to Sen. Obama as,"That One." The man was born with a name, use it. I may not agree with you, but I will show you respect. Thanks for allowing your true character to shine through for us to see.

Sen.McCain thanks also for your service and contributions to this great country but to everything there is a season. Your season has ended. You can't put new wine in old skins, they can't handle it. Old dogs frown at learning new things. For the mess America is in, we need God to speak and a vessel who is willing to listen. Sen.Obama is that vessel.

j---but you're willing to elect a racist..."THAT ONE"...

The media should be ashamed of itself, trying to cause racial tensions with McCain's 'that one' comment. I did not feel that he was insulting Obama. Report on the facts, quit trying to stir up problems. USA has enough to deal with right now. Let's keep this election about two men and their visions for our future. Let America decide for themselves.

THIS ONE IS GOING TO VOTE FOR "THAT ONE".

It appears, as usual, that most all of the major media are for Obama, and not one reference has been made to Obama's comment in calling McCain "that man". Instead it is all about McCain's "that one"....Let's stick to the real issues at hand and stop picking up on the petty comments.

In response to Patti above me.........yes......."that one" comment is insulting and shows what kind of moron McShame is!!!

Obama won and will keep winning but we will be the big loosers in the end. After reading these blogs for the last month or so I have come to the conclusion that it is the young voters that will be our demise in this election. It is obvious to me that the radical teachers and professors teaching their anti American rederic in our schools for the past 50 years have finally reached their goals of bringing down America. It's not the young voters fault though it is ours for not being vigilant over the education of our children, it's obvious.

Am I the only one that heard Obama say Social Security and Medicare reform are not on his front burner, and he would not address during the first 2 years. I realize he is the media darling but lets at least report the relevant facts and onot that McCain called him "that one"

Obama won hands down and would have done even better without time constraints. While Michelle was shaking hands with quests, the Ice Maiden stood there afraid to touch anyone. Obama extended his hand and McCain ignored it after the debate and Cindy finally shook it. And of course McCains running out of the hall as soon as the debate was over. I guess when you have $100 million, 13 cars and 8 homes, you just think you are too good for us common folks.

Obama crushed the "maverick"

Open your eyes america!! John McCain won the debate! He is the only one that help America stay FREE!! Your messiah wants our children to learn spanish and to heck with them learning english, he wants to give his terrorist buddies the keys to our great land and let them have at us. I am an independent and I will vote to keep this great land free from all those that want to take us down.

I have been going back and forth before the debates. After watching all three I would say Obama and Biden are quite a bit ahead in the debates. What is beginning to really turn me off to McCain is this nastiness he has started. I don't know what his thinking is. People want to here what is going to happen and all Senator McCain wants to do is attack. After watching he get smeared by Bush and then Kerry having to go through the same thing you would think McCain would be a little more civil. McCain has changed and I don't like that change.

Well said Kay

When McCain said "I know how to get Bin Laden, I'll get him, no matter what it takes" does that include pulling the trigger if he's spotted in Pakistan? He attacked Obama for saying so - at least Obama showed some balls by taking a stand. Well John boy? You can't have it both ways.

Grow up, Sandra. It's people like you who turn people like me off of Obama. You complain about a remark McCain said while you act and speak the same way. I guess when your candidate doesn't have anything to offer to America, you have to try to make the qualified candidate look bad any way that you can.
Thanks for helping me make my decision.
This proud American is voting for McCain.
