Debate #2 winners and losers

I have to say at this point in the debates, nothing new is being said. To my Republican friends who think that Senator McCain's house plan is new, the treasury secretary has already been given that authority in the bailout plan. Maybe he should read it. So at this point who wins and loses is basically who you agreed with. I do have to say there are times there were things McCain said I knew to be untrue. However if you're a Republican you might have caught some things you thought Obama said wasn't true. The point is that who won? No one, so therefore Obama won. I'm not just saying this because I'm an Obama supporter. Obama has a very large lead electroally in the polls over McCain. It's similar to when a champion boxer fights to a draw. He's still the champ. Barack's lead has been growing and I don't think that is going to change after tonight. McCain needs something big, and he hasn't gotten it. People just believe Obama and his policies are better. At this point I really don't know what Obama could say at debate to turn this around at a debate besides:



As far as the "that one" comment, it didn't help McCain. I don't think he meant it in a racist way. If you he would have called him boy or "you people" that would have been one thing. I can't say whether Senator McCain is a racist or not. I simply believe the comment was to marginalize Obama as a candidate not as a black man.

I genuinely disliked both candidates equally last night. Aside from the glorious few minutes when they revolted against Tom Brokaw's respectable efforts to keep them to the agenda, both spent most of the debate answering questions with irrelevant talking points, insulting one another, and telling us nothing new.

Can we move the election up a few weeks? I'm tired of this.
