One of the talking heads put it best;
If you like McCain, you still like McCain, if you like Obama you still like Obama

[ElSluggo]

I saw it as alot of double talk were neither one can be trusted and will say what's ever needed to be elected. That's modern politics!

Well put.
If I hear Wall Street/ Main Street one more time I'll

I missed a few minutes. I tivo'd "My Name is Earl" and it was a little more important than the debate.

The first thing I saw Obama say in response to the bailout was " I submitted a plan with 3 things..."
Bull%$%$%$%$! He didnt submit anything! The dems have been working day and night on this plan and he just showed in Washington a day ago. WHat an arrogant prick. "I submitted" whatever

then, how about the question, what would you reduce in your administration in response to the bailout. In seconds, Obama's response went to " I am going to add, add, add, add. Even Leher was frustrated.

Then there were the 5-6 times Obama said, I agree with Senator McCain.

Doubt if it changed many minds.

Agree as well. They both made errors, they both warped the truth a bit. I believe McCain was correct on a few positions that Obama was not (Pakistan, Afghanistan, Surge, Russia, Achmad, Castro, Chavez). Obama was good with the "I never voted for the war" (thought that bus has left the building), Focus on AFG (though he is still wrong on so many levels). And Kissinger came out today stating that Obama put words in his mouth and that McCain was correct.

Pretty close. Both should be fairly pleased with their performance. I don't think either really caused any seirious damage.

First round = draw

I find it interesting that you talk about the Surge in the past tense, when all those troops are still in harms way.
