Sen. Mccain did well. I will give you that and only that. Unfortunately, for Sen Obama he is a well thought and open minded person. That trait does not come off well when simple people (most people) want you to choose a side. It is a strength to me.

I was just having this conversation this mornng with my Mom and Stepfather.
McCain obviously had the questions or taling points in advance.

I mean come on, when does he ever to respond to questions so QUICKLY, succintly, and hell without hearing the questions completely?!

The black and white crowd outnumbers independents and they need to be peeled off or at least kept at home. Obama is perfectly capable of keeping things simple and then giving a nuanced response; i.e., giving a federal gas tax holiday.

Phelps is the greatest swimmer ever, even with the suits designed by NASA (wow). Its been a great show at the games but I won't give Phelps the Greatest Olympian ever title like ESPN is all gong-ho to do. That title remains with Jesse Owens.

There was a reference to mentally disabled women being used as suicide bombers….again…not true.
