"The poll done by the voices in his head."

Figured as much.

I think the debate was more or less a tie with respect to the issues. As far as personality goes, I think McCain took a drubbing. He came off as angry and condescending. While Obama was relaxed and connected. Given that the topic was foreign policy, which is supposed to be McCain's strength, it didn't go so well for him.


Yes, I think it was a tie until you look at the fact that foreign policy is supposed to be McCain's strong suit. Since he didn't cede any ground to McCain on this issue, Obama might actually be considered the winner.

I watched intrade all day yesterday......the Obama bet went from 57 in the AM to its low during the debate of 52 but ended the debate back near 57. That's good enough proof for me that Obama did well.

Now what is to be done about Sarah Palin? There is a growing chorus for McCain to drop her from the ticket.

Yeah, if he was going to WIN any of the debates, this was the one. It's lookin' bad for the cancerous geezer with incipient Alzheimer's and old man smell. It was really weird that he seemed unable to LOOK at Obama through the entire debate. Maybe he can't look Obama in the eye and lie?
