I think Obama figures that foreign policy will be his slog overs.

I am disappointed in Lehrer.. he is letting the debate drift

LosingNow · « **Reply #13 on:** September 27, 2008, 01:35:35 AM »

McCain brings in his strike bowler (Iraq). Obama takes fresh guard.

never been to iraq .. defer to Biden - did Obama just say that???

Petraues has done a good job... there goes MoveOn's support of Obama

LosingNow · « **Reply #19 on:** September 27, 2008, 01:47:30 AM »

Obama is getting irritated... hmmm!!

LosingNow · « **Reply #20 on:** September 27, 2008, 01:48:48 AM »

You cant keep repeating we should have not gone.. that is old news. what will you do now?

LosingNow · « **Reply #21 on:** September 27, 2008, 01:56:41 AM »

did Obama say "take out pakistan" ?

LosingNow · « **Reply #22 on:** September 27, 2008, 02:13:14 AM »

Seriously, Obama doesn't look as fluent without the teleprompter ..

LosingNow · « **Reply #23 on:** September 27, 2008, 02:18:35 AM »

hmm... nuancing his way out of the Russia question. Come on, give a direct answer ..Obama.

prfsr · « **Reply #24 on:** September 27, 2008, 02:21:47 AM »

Had to go and record it. Watching now - McCain's body language is very poor and un-presidential.

LosingNow · « **Reply #25 on:** September 27, 2008, 02:22:38 AM »

aaah.... the old Obama trick.. Senator McCain and I agree on this issue (hmm... he did that to Hillary)

Composure is the term I should have used.

prfsr · « **Reply #29 on:** September 27, 2008, 02:28:13 AM »

He did not say take out Pakistan - he was talking about the targets that Pak was "unwilling or unable" to take out.

prfsr · « **Reply #30 on:** September 27, 2008, 02:29:33 AM »

Obama understands international relations. Period. McCain has no frigging idea what he is talking about regarding Pakistan.

prfsr · « **Reply #31 on:** September 27, 2008, 02:31:31 AM »

The same old crap about marines' deaths not being in vain....

prfsr · « **Reply #32 on:** September 27, 2008, 02:32:00 AM »

McCain says US lost in Vietnam???

prfsr · « **Reply #34 on:** September 27, 2008, 02:33:27 AM »

Ok

So you think McCain understands the picture in Pak as you and I understand it and that shows in the debate?

LosingNow · « **Reply #35 on:** September 27, 2008, 02:35:55 AM »

End of debate..

This was McCain's turf.. he did better.

Obama had no accomplishments and real experience to show. McCain dropped incident after incident he was involved in.. and dropped names after names (which appeals to the base).

Overall each side will see what they want to see ..

By the way, should I take this as an insult? What Dg rule have I violated?

Yes of course we will see from our PoV's. McCain already appeals to the base. Not as much as Palin but still. Obama was restrained, composed and under control.
