McCain is spending a lot of time reminiscing, Obama is staying on point.

Re: a thread to discuss the 9/26 debate
 

I like how Obama is almost directing the debate - he works well with the host.

And he's not letting McCain get away with much.

Mac is just waffling along the talking points.

McCain can't seem to get his nuts off Iraq.

Re: a thread to discuss the 9/26 debate
 

wtf is mccain on.

totally ignores Obama's critique - and goes back to Iraq.

Obama is killing him here.

Re: a thread to discuss the 9/26 debate
 

yeah i was humming along, following the debate and suddenly it was like a needle scratching on a record. "ireland? did he just bring up ireland?" it was a really weird place to go with his point.

Re: a thread to discuss the 9/26 debate
 

jesus. mccain loves them now - he's totally lost it.

he sounds like he's running for student council president.

Re: a thread to discuss the 9/26 debate
 

i don't agree that obama is winning or owning anything here. i think he's stammering and saying "um" a lot and mccain's misrepresentations are being lobbed out in nicely packaged talking points. i think overall mccain is putting on a very good performance and obama is doing moderately well.

overall i anticipate that mccain will get the most bounce in the post-debate polls.

Re: a thread to discuss the 9/26 debate
 

McCain clearly had that closing point well-rehearsed.

Now Obama's addressing the camera....

Re: a thread to discuss the 9/26 debate
 

Johnny Mac, instead of addressing the various points Obama brought up, went into his "I can do it, i have that record" shpiel.:rolleyes:
