McCain is sounding good on Afghanistan, particularly promising not to repeat the mistake of the past.

with McCain namedropping Petreus so much, i'm surprised Obama hasn't brought up Petreus' recent comments that, this war isnt a war that you can claim victory on.

I can't tell who's winning. Is someone winning?

mccain's babbling now though.... stories of little old ladies.

"I've got a bracelet too".... now Obama's doing it.

it's not midday yet - I can't start drinking

[chuck]

um. methinks Mccain got pwned on that point about Iran.

and is it just me - or does Obama just sound more measured, deliberate and uh... Presidential.

McCain "the average south korean is 3 inches taller.... " wtf?

he's grasping.

[chuck]

jesus - I'm half expecting McCain to start showing his holiday pictures.

"This is me near standing on the pipeline"

He keeps using big words - like it means he's smarter.

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

[chuck]

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.
