If McCain "won" but no one noticed then McCain most certainly did not "win". The only value to these debates is how the undecided evaluate them, and if they didn't notice McCain's "win" then McCain failed. <BR/><BR/>I think there was a revealing exchange between the candidates, and no clear "winner".<BR/><BR/>sean s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20692053.post-2679533933069124712008-09-28T08:21:00.000-05:002008-09-28T08:21:00.000-05:00Where was McCain last night when the negotiators w...Where was McCain last night when the negotiators were meeting in DC to hammer out the deal announced overnight?

He knew that he was getting a good old-fashioned butt-kicking. The split screen showed him making faces, trying to talk over McCain. Obama was really angry and having a minor temper tantrum.<BR/>When asked one question about foreign policy, Obama responded by telling us how much Joe Biden knows about that issue. Is Joe Biden Obama's foreign policy credential? Does he plan on placing that "3 a.m. call" on hold while he transfers it to Biden?<BR/>He also misstated Kissinger's foreign policy, who in turn, wasted no time in releasing a statement to fix the record. Kissinger made it crystal clear that he agrees with McCain and does not think it is a good idea to sit down and talk with Iran at the presidential level.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20692053.post-43927569828767363602008-09-27T22:38:00.000-05:002008-09-27T22:38:00.000-05:00I'm wondering what the Kos types think about Obama...I'm wondering what the Kos types think about Obama's sabre rattling re Afganistan.

However, to keep saying Obama doesn't understand things he clearly understands suggests perhaps McCain believes he's not explaining himself well.<BR/><BR/>And when you're in a debate you gotta at least look at the other guy once in a while so people don't think you're a robot. <BR/><BR/>You wanna have a beer with that guy?

Plus, we know he had concerns about our current situation some time ago.He's no dummy. He'll hammer Obama on earmarks. He'll hammer Obama on taxes and the growth of washington under an Obama regime. If he's reeeeally smart, he'll hammer him on the cost of all of his programs and that washngton can't be expected to fix everything . . . liberal entitlement stuff. I'm sure he will. But, he also needs to hammer Obama on the failed policies of this congress, as well as how the Clinton years actually got us to this point.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I wouldn't count him out. What I like about John is that he can appear rather snarky when making certain comments about Obama. I'm sure some see it as a bit of a negative. I think it's hilarious.
