It was a good one. McCain finally showed some life and Obama showed how fucking cool and calm he is.

I'm sure Hulu will have it up soon if not already.

Debate was great. Best debate. Moderator was EXCELLENT.

Obama had amazing self control in not attacking McCain and ESPECIALLY not attacking Palin when given the question of if he thought she could hold the office of president. Smart though, Obama is winning and any negativity might hurt him.

This Joe the Plumber crap was annoying as hell.

He is buddies with Joe Sixpack.

I might care about him if he didnt make more than 250k a year...

I try to be pretty evenly critical, and I thought they both floundered badly at the last debate, but in this one I think Obama kicked the shit out of McCain.

Well, to McCain that makes him just above the poverty line.

Did anyone else catch that McCain wants to tax health benefits which would in effect raise taxes? What next? Perhaps he can also tax workers on employers providing coffee and donuts at work ...

I'm trying to find out how the world would vote, if it could. Can any non-Americans who read this please go here?:

I'm expecting Obama to win, but would like to find out if I'm right, what the margin would be, and hoping to get a decent-sized sample while I'm at it

I was ready for them to throw down!!!!

Really interesting debate, and I think the best out of the 3... I don't know, personally I don't see how Obama can lose, unless Mccain pulls a nice big fat rabbit out of his magic hat, and Palin wasn't it :P

BOOYAA

uh oh... it has begun!

its up
http://www.hulu.com/watch/39435/msnb...s-final-debate

Being an outsider, completely ignorant to everything that is going on, and watching that debate today, I would have to say I'd vote for Obama. Hell, even without that debate, I'd vote for Obama. He just seems more...... Cool.

EDIT:

I guess this speaks for itself

Caught this in this month's Reader's Digest (perfect magazine for dropping a deuce.):

http://www.rd.com/your-america-inspi...cle102259.html

The graph isn't there from the actual magazine, which is odd. Basically, out of 17 countries (including the US), Obama had a SIGNIFICANT lead.....except in the US where he was 2% below McCain. 0.o

McCain on Acorn:

“I don’t care about an old, washed-up terrorist. But as Senator Clinton said in her debates with you, we need to know the full extent of that relationship. We need to know the full extent of Senator Obama’s relationship with Acorn, who is now on the verge of maybe perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history in this country, maybe destroying the fabric of democracy.”

Obama on Acorn:

“And I think the fact that this has become such an important part of your campaign, Senator McCain, says more about your campaign than it says about me.”

Anyone else think the Acorn "scandal" is McCain's way of laying the ground work for a Bush style coup? It's ok if he looses it just has to be close and in a state they can control.

I liked that McCain got the answers he was harping about over the last 2 weeks. Too bad they didn't turn out to be the answers he wanted to hear.

On a side note I think Firefox is partisan, it thinks McCain is a word but spell checks Obama. Conspiracy, I think so...

But he sure makes a tasty tater

Holy shit man.

Macedonia seems to be out of step with the rest of the world. I wonder what conclusions could be drawn from that.

I haven't finished watching the whole thing, but...

Does anyone else think Hulu has the most depressing video advertisements?

I'm just glad the Splenda ads are over...

McAnus are tail??? WTF???

Poll: Debate watchers say Obama wins: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/...oll/index.html

I wish Obama had hit McCain on a few points, but I guess he was trying to reduce the attacks to appear more calm. For instance, all that crap McCain was saying about correcting people (and suggesting Obama should do the same). Obama should have came back with, "When do you plan on correcting your running mate?"
The other thing was, McCain kept saying he wouldn't raise taxes... so does he considering ADDING taxes different than raising taxes? Because if he starts taxing my health care, then he's adding taxes that I currently don't pay. I don't care if I get a tax break at the end of the year if I'm going broke paying the taxes throughout the year.

He came across as erratic and antsy. The moderator pointed out how erratic was used in the attack ads, but he was being very erratic... so sorry, but the term fits. I liked how more active McCain was, but he had nothing to sway my vote.

mccain blinked a lot!
