  1. ZZZzzzz, you make me laugh with your pictures, but she needs not a brain shrink in the dryer to prepare, but maybe a line dry to prevent a shrink.

  2. Funny how perceptions differ. I'm not a McCain supporter but I thought it was a clear win for McCain.

  4. I suspected that Republicans would gain from the debates since their actual point of view and ideas are completely masked out of the media. I'm trying to remember when one Republican was allowed to finish a sentence on TV without being cut off by a liberal. So when they are allowed to actually say what they think it always surprises people in a good way..

  5. The major media covered the republican debates during the primary, exactly when were these republicans cut off and not allowed to finish their sentences?

    Obama was on the defensive all evening, Clearly a win for McCain.

    Interesting that neither took a firm stance on the Bailout, how diplomatic. LOL

  7. Mr Furious was stuck in the 60s. No clear winner, although John Wayne was clearly projecting his ignorance with, "He doesn't understand."

    Sure-thing on Intrade -- the option on Obama > 60% by October 1st is clearly a sell at 30/100. It's a LOCK.

  8. In a CNN phone poll of 500 people,60 % said Obama won

    In Soladad O'Brien's discussion forum,60 % said Obama won

  9. If Obama would have been able provide more descriptive statements on the economy he would have won but he did not. Obama could not get off the subject of earmarks and taxes which in my opinion is going to hurt him. Also Obama never denied his unwillingness to decrease his overall plan of 800 billion in discretionary spending mainly for energy and health care. Obama has no chance on the foreign policy debate but he really did not bring anything to the economic debate at all. I have yet to decide if Obama has any chance to have a winning debate category.

  10. When the issues focus on what really matters to people, the economy, health care, what they have to pay for gas, taxes, food, housing, etc. then the tone of the debate will be different.

    McBush will try to claim he is a Maverick and try to distance himself from Bush.

    Obama will point to the reality of working Americans.

    I also think Obama will bring up McBush's comments about freezing all spending.

    What was said tonight will be used in the ads and campaigns from now until the next debate.

    Biden was on MSNBC, and he did a good job of illustrating how out of touch McBush is.
