"Are either of you willing to say to the other what your campaigns are saying?"
That was good.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Are you kidding me? McCain saying that OBAMA'S gone too negative?
That's code for "Hey! None of the mud my campaign's been throwing at you has stuck! No Fair!"

I think McCain could be winning on content tonight, but his tone is awful. He just seems outwardly angry when speaking and seething while listening.
I think listening to this on the radio would leave me with a much different impression than watching it on television. |

Well, until that question. McCain ignores the question and criticizes Obama for the full time allotted. |

So now McCain is asserting that Obama dissed World War II vets by mentioning the ugly things his supporters have said at his rallies. So awesome.

I actually thought early on in this McCain made some solid points and I thought he might come on strong this debate.
Now he's angry and pouting and it's becoming painful to watch. |

Yup. McCain's gone negative, and Obama's playing Mental Aikido on him, deflecting his attacks, making McCain look out of line.

Schaefer: (paraphrasing) "What about your running mates? Why is yours better than your opponents?"
Obama (licking his lips): "Where do I start?" SI

I thought those were nicely done. The people who aren't reading into the fact check sites and doing extra research just had Obama frame those two attacks for them. That just didn't work out well for McCain. SI

Obama's gonna take the high-road here and let McCain sink Palin on his own - interesting.
OMG - did McCain just snort there when Obama said "energy independence" ?? |

Man, if CNN's interest meter from the undecided voters for McCain was an EKG, there'd be a crash team running to the hospital bed.

Everytime McCain says he and Palin will get rid of the old boys network you just have to laugh. The only reason McCain is here today is because of the old boys network...

I love that the moderator start by asking about "climate control." I thought the rest of the question would be "What exactly will you do with George Bush's Hurricane making machine?"

Obama said it better then I could
"1. We do need to expand domestic production, that means oil companies must use the offshore leases they already have." In other words "Eat what's on your plate before you go back for seconds"

Sorta interesting... I'm listening (not watching) and while I find Obama more eloquent, I don't sense the sort of meltdown that many of you seem to. McCain is stammering a bit, but in the audio I'm not sensing a collapse here.

The snake nearly broke through the top of the chart when Obama was talking about health care.
It plummeted when McCain mentioned Joe the Plumber for the fifteenth time in one hour. |

he looks very angry, he's interrupting all the time and trying to talk over obama's responses, and he's getting walloped on his attempted attacks (ayers+acorn for two of them, just now in healthcare)

No, it's not as bad as they say. It's just that he looks so very uncomfortable, he grimaces, smirks - just generally looks up tight and sometimes angry. He's simply not telegenic

I'd love to know what percentage they are. You're citing unconfirmed numbers and presuming percentages without knowing the number of applications. This information is anecdotal at best. You are slamming an organization that attempts to raise voter participation in the United States without any true facts or sources. Cite a reputable source, particularly if it claims ACORN is not marking obvious fraudulent applications or that it is intentionally submitting fraudulent applications. Until then, we don't want to hear it anymore. Quote:

McCain is doing nothing to close the gap. If anything, he's making it bigger. At least he has Joe the plumber's vote in the bag.

I resent this bullshit about gold-plated medical plans. I can't believe that his people are retreading that stupid Bush line from the SOTU about "gold-plated medical plans." I'm all for pay raises if folks don't have to get health insurance they don't use, but don't make it sound like folks are overinsurance en masse, because it's just not true.
Almost bugs me as much as the term "ordinary Americans." |

I mostly agree with this post from Nate Silver at FiveThirty Eight. Sorry I've been so quiet. I thought McCain was winning this debate 20 minutes in. But the second time that McCain brought up Lewis still feels like the turning point in the debate to me. From there forward, he's pretty much played into all of his worst stereotypes.
