Debate? What a bomb. What a farce. What a joke. To begin with, McCain looked waxy and preserved like a corpse --all he needed was a coffin. I'm not kidding, he didn't look alive. The moderator, I forget his name, also looked Madame Taussaud-ish. Good grief. They looked like caricatures of living people; animated zombies.

McCain dominated the "debate" and ranted on and on, while Obama stood there acting like a schoolboy called to the principal's office. I wanted to see some sparks, some fire from him, but nada. And these are the two we have to choose from as president??

Sue from what I've seen, McCain is very likely going to lose. Palin helps Obama every time she opens her mouth. I usually don't like to discuss politics here but I've read several articles that say McCain's only chance is to get rid of her. He won't do that of course, too stubborn and it would make him look bad.

I was a little disappointed that Obama wasn't as smooth as he should have been but McCain was disgusting with his condescending "you don't understand" remarks. Now that we are in such deep economic peril we better have someone who will get us out of the Iraq sinkhole.

Hi Jeri; McCain was abominable; I just hoped for more fire and
passion from Obama. I can't help thinking he was maybe a bit
subdued because there he was, a black man in Mississippi-his first
time.

I also thought that Obama faired well even as he was being portrayed as "wet behind the ears."

comment by angiedw on Sept 28, 2008 3:49 AM ()

Hi angie--Wet behind the ears is better than McCain--
petrified behind the ears. He looked mummified and pickled.

I watched with my friends who are McCain supporters, so everyone carefully avoided taking sides to preserve the peace. We mostly discussed this recession that all of a sudden is said to be a sure thing after what seems to have been total denial of the possibility not so long ago. (Great sentence construction, ay?)

comment by troutbend on Sept 27, 2008 11:36 PM ()

Hi Laura; your sentence construction is just fine,

My friend Dottie is a die hard McCain supporter, so like
you I try to avoid the subject with her. This is the truth--
some people would vote for McCain if he had horns and a tail
rather than vote for a black man.

I watched the whole debate and it was McNasty and Obama kicking his arse. I thought it was very good with Barrack clearly winning.

comment by strider333 on Sept 27, 2008 11:30 PM ()

Obama has a reasonable approach to matters--all McCain does is
saber rattling and name calling. I kinda feel sorry for him--he's
in over his head.

reply by susil on Sept 30, 2008 8:10 AM ()

McCain did look waxy and he spouted the same old rhetoric about how knowledgeable he is while Obama is still wet behind the ears. It didn't play well with me; I hope others saw through it as I did. Personally, I don't want another war monger in the White House.

comment by redimpala on Sept 27, 2008 11:11 PM ()

Hi red; McCain's name calling and dissing of Obama really
turned my stomach. He was a clown--and a war monger. What a combo.

reply by susil on Sept 30, 2008 8:13 AM ()

You can't always get theater. I concentrated on substance. McCain was petty and dismissive and that doesn't play well with a lot of people, not just us. I think he's going to keel over. Not to worry. I do think the McCain crowd is going to self-destruct.

comment by tealstar on Sept 27, 2008 5:25 PM ()

Hi teal; About 20 minutes into the debate, I got a long distance
phone call and put the TV on mute. Body language of the candidates
was very revealing. I could tell McCain was blustering and ranting,
while Obama stood by seemingly nonplussed. I kept waiting for Obama
to pound his dias and do some forceful oratory himself--didn't happen
but I'm still gonna vote for him.

reply by susil on Sept 30, 2008 8:18 AM ()

I agree with you Susil. Obama is a great telepromter reader, and does somewhat OK with well-prepared and prewritten issues, but he rates a "00" for thinking on the fly, even about that which he should know in advance.

comment by oldfatguy on Sept 27, 2008 4:32 PM ()

I thought that was his strength...I was pretty shocked with McCain's inept performance...

reply by strider333 on Sept 27, 2008 11:31 PM ()

I respect your view, but I think Obama was far superior in substance. McCain displayed his obstinate, stiff, dated, Cold War, last century, inflexible and adversarial view of the world which I think is outdated and dangerous. Obama is certainly right on Iraq: McCain was wrong in his assessment initially and has supported Bush and this fruitless war hook, line and sinker, putting our brave armed service personnel and our country's economic future in peril for nothing. Iraq was a mistake. I see may more Iraqs in our future if McCain is elected.

comment by marta on Sept 27, 2008 1:48 PM ()

Hi marta; I wouldn't vote for McCain at all. Everything you said
about him is my view completely. I really believe he has incipient
Alzheimer's. He's a scary man--let's hope he DOES NOT get elected.
