Belmont University Presidential Debate 10/7

I didn't like this format anywhere near as much as the first debate. There didn't seem to be any questions the two were not expecting which was a shame.

Obama won. McCain gained nothing from this debate. Probably just lost VA.

And I agree town hall discussion is ridiculous. This one was not as "open discussion" as some. Brokaw should have been elbow dropped. What's he going to do, sue them for talking over a minute.

This is much duller than the first debate thread.

Well it bothered me to death when McCain said that he would find Osama in 3 months. All that is doing is persuading dumbasses who go "Oh, he can do it, I'll vote for him, bullshit. "I know how to get him, but I'm just not going to announce it." wtf, if you can do anything, tell the marines. Hes doing it for votes, my god.

He needs to cut out the attacks on Barack too, my god

EDIT: What am I saying, both candidates manipulate the people for votes, thats politics

Tbh, I stopped watching about 20 minutes ago. I prefer the standard debate style like they had in the first one much, much more.

Wasn't exactly town hall ..hardly at all tbh. The audience played a minor role.

Seemed like a draw to me.. and a draw is horrible news for McCain. He needed a home run.

The debate did absolutely nothing. Both sides just repeated rhetoric, outlined general policy we already knew, and attacked each other in minimal fashion. That's good news for Obama, obviously, since he did not want the debate to alter the dynamics of the race.

Gee whiz..
Joe Biden to hold rally in Tampa Wednesday
Florida's I-4 corridor is key election battleground
Palin Back in Florida

Obama holds a slight lead here. The Tampa area is key for Florida's 27 electoral votes. I am now accepting bribes if anyone is interested. /shame

heh... Actually I just finished a 1300 mile tour of my state (for the second time and three years not counting my personal travels). I know state officials you never knew existed.

Bad move by McCain. Seriously, what is he trying to do? Hand the election on a silver platter?

And there was the worm - why didn't they just call a spade a spade and call it a worm, not a 'squiggle'?

Two prime examples of those who understand nothing of America Politics. The debates proved nothing, and McCain still won. He proved the great bahma has no clothes.

Exactly what one would expect from a die-hard Republican who thinks everyone who doesn't agree with him is a complete moron.

You do NOT patronize a presidential candidate - who's beating you! - on national TV, especially in times like these.

McCain won imho and all obama has is the same he is gwb and he is for tax breaks for ceos and oil companies. but what hes for is keeping the taxes the same, not cutting them,

so basically all he did was repeat that false argument over and over again...

Doesnt matter though because obama has big ears n he hears pepole n shit n he is a celeb goddam'

Patronize? OMG the horror ..lol. There are worse things.

Say what you will, but McCain kept in classy tonight. And it has got the die hards up in a tizzy.

You Guys Are Nuts [Andy McCarthy]

We have a disaster here — which is what you should expect when you delegate a non-conservative to make the conservative (nay, the American) case. We can parse it eight ways to Sunday, but I think the commentary is missing the big picture.

Here's what Obama needed to do tonight: Convince the country that he was an utterly safe, conventional, centrist politician who may have leftward leanings but will do the right thing when the crunch comes.

Now, as the night went along, did you get the impression that Obama comes from the radical Left? Did you sense that he funded Leftist causes to the tune of tens of millions of dollars? Would you have guessed that he's pals with a guy who brags about bombing the Pentagon? Would you have guessed that he helped underwrite raging anti-Semites? Would you come away thinking, "Gee, he's proposing to transfer nearly a trillion dollars of wealth to third-world dictators through the UN"?

Nope. McCain didn't want to go there. So Obama comes off as just your average Center-Left politician. Gonna raise your taxes a little, gonna negotiate reasonably with America's enemies; gonna rely on our very talented federal courts to fight terrorists and solve most of America's problems; gonna legalize millions of hard-working illegal immigrants.

McCain? He comes off as Center-Right .. or maybe Center-Left ... but, either way, deeply respectful of Obama despite their policy quibbles.

Great. Memo to McCain Campaign: Someone is either a terrorist sympathizer or he isn't; someone is either disqualified as a terrorist sympathizer or he's qualified for public office. You helped portray Obama as a clealy qualified presidential candidate who would fight terrorists.

If that's what the public thinks, good luck trying to win this thing.

With due respect, I think tonight was a disaster for our side. I'm dumbfounded that no one else seems to think so. Obama did everything he needed to do, McCain did nothing he needed to do. What am I missing?
