Watch as McCain refuses to shake Obama’s hand at the end of the debate. I have never wanted to punch an old man more than I do right now.
This is pretty ridiculous.
They’re Already Spinning
Ambers reports:
The RNC sends around reporter’s e-mail criticizing the debate format. As in — this is not a REAL town hall meeting, so if McCain’s not doing as well as he should be doing, it’s not his fault.
Won’t matter, the genie is already out of the bottle and lets face it, life and the day to day operations of being a President are not fair. Where’s your ability to deal with tough situations?
This debate format was pretty retarded and hurt both of them fairly equally.
I think the “that’s not true John” comments really helped Obama. I agree that Obama fumbled parts of the earmark system, he should have brought up his ethics bill right away. Oddly I thought McCain did a little better on the economy then on foreign policy, although Obama did get backed into a nasty corner when talking about meeting with hostile leaders. On this subject I think they were both, basically, arguing the same point.
On a lot of the other FP issues Obama really hammered McCain and I think that’s where he got his victory. I thought both were very weak on the economic questions, as Begala said: you would have no idea that we’re in the middle of a crisis. they’re saying the same things they would have said two months ago.
I am a bit surprised by the lopsided numbers coming out of the debate but I do agree with most analysts that nobody knocked this one out of the park in a general sense. The thing about debates is that one subject generally is enough to make someone believe that person won the whole thing.
Opposing Views seems like a very interesting site for learning about various topics. I haven’t had the opportunity to check any out yet but I’m excited to see what they have to offer.
