Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
we are not watching the commentaries -- can't take it
how does the world see us?
as morons? (guessing)
Dems are putting Biden out to counter. Reps? Guliani. Not Palin. Oi.
One commentator said McCain had no "senior moments." Gee, that's setting a high bar. Yay, McCain didn't soil himself!
Also, MSNBC said McCain won.
One of the talking heads hit a point I'd noticed: McCain was trying to paint Obama as a risky choice, but Obama didn't give him any evidence for it. Obama looked less experienced, maybe, but still a safe enough choice.
Huh. The poll on the MSNBC site has Obama beating McCain in the debate, 74.5% to 19.5%.
I like Obama and I thought he held his own nicely in what should have been his weaker debate area, but I didn't think he did that well.
DH just made a good point - neither one of us quibble that McCains experience spans decades. Why were so many of his examples from the 80s?
And Obama showed more of a grasp on foreign policy than Bush. IMHO.
CNN says Obama won big. An CBS scientific (phone) poll of undecideds had Obama winning 40 to 22.
I considered watching the debates but just couldn't handle it. Watched Across the Universe instead. Equally surreal but with much better music.
