    It got old, quickly.



  2. 2

    I think Obama has a good chance in wining this election !

    McCain was out of it. He wants to buy up home mortgages? Isn't that what the Rescue Act did last week when he voted for it?

    Barack rocked! He'll be a great President.

    It was pretty boring actually. We've heard all of this, packaged the same way, from both candidates over and over before.



  5. 5

    Good stuff. Barack has finesse, McCain is very crotchety and desperate seeming.

    Vote early for Obama/Biden and the rest of the Dems. Let's get this country cleaned up.



  7. 7

    No but you should run for president. Haha

    Perez for prez!



  8. 8

    first?….obama won…macain is just to old to connect



  9. 9

    you see one, youve seen them all



  10. 10

    Some parts were more difficult to pay attention to than others..Mainly when McCain was speaking.
    ..Just sayin.



  11. 11

    obama rocked it. mccain was too much of an angry old man.



  12. 12

    always



  13. 13

    OBAMA SHOWED US WHY HE SHOULD BE PRESIDENT, AND WHY IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE KEEP MCCAIN OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE. IT IS NO PLACE FOR A WAR MONGER. OBAMA CAME ACROSS CALM AND COLLECTED WHILE MCCAIN SEEMED ON THE VERGE OF DESPERATION, REPEATING THE SAME UNSUCESSFUL ATTACKS ON OBAMA THAT HE HAS BEEN DOING FOR WEEKS.



  14. 14

    FIRST BITCHES!!!



  15. 15

    Barack Obama was clearly victorious. The Republicans are freaking out because this was McCain's chance to have a GREAT moment, that was their only hope and he didn't have that. Barack looked Presidential whereas McCain just looked like a cranky old uncle.

    And I am appalled at McCain with his bomb bomb Iran joke. Are you kidding me? That's definitely it. No way in hell is that man getting my vote. We don't need a president that gets amusement out of joking about bombing countries! That makes America look bad to other countries.

    We dont need that type of mentality in our white house. That's definitely something that needs to be addressed. Not to mention it just completely negated his entire attack on Obama, which was a false one, that he should not say he's going to attack a country out loud. How the hell does it look to other countries that you actually joke about bombing them? Unbelievable.



  16. 16

    Ummmm like like like, ummm sarah palin is super smart cuz she likes hunting and she loves jesus??? yaaaaaaaaaaa, ummmm, Whoa, McCain/Palin r fucking insane, that motha fucka is gonna die soon (of old age). He is SOOO fucking senile, it is TERRIFYING, NO obama is not Perfect, but he is WAYYY less scary than that crazy ass motha fuckin mccain/palin combo



  17. 17

    LOVED IT, obama was amazing mccain sucked and just tried to bash obama what an idiot.



  18. 18

    Barack WON, McCain looked as desperate as ever.



  19. 19

    I got kinda bored with this debate. But, I think it's because having watched the last 2, I know what each candidate has to offer. Everything is just repeated…

  20. blEaU says – reply to this


    20

    Obama got it. Not by a landslide, but he won. I did think though that McCrazy did have a pretty damn good closing and he did have several specifics concerning Russia. Overall though, Obama was the victor.



  21. 21

    thoughts….
    Fuck Obama



  22. 22

    PEREZ 4 PREZ



  23. 23

    Okay so when did health care become a privilege and not a human right? You know just a question….



  24. 24

    When McCain accused Obama of having poor judgment for saying he would go into Pakistan to get Osama Bin Laden, and then he has a big smile on his face so proud of himself.

    Obama - And isn't this coming from a guy who sang bomb Iran, bomb bomb Iran?

    From huge poo-eating grin, to dead-pan in .0001 seconds.

    Priceless. He just made an ass out of himself, McCain. Obama put him right in his place with that. And then he admits it was a joke. Who the hell jokes like that.



  25. 25

    dude obama beat mccain into the ground. it was funny that mccain had to resort to calling people his friends every 10 seconds. my god that got annoying.
    but really–obama won. mccain stuttered his way through rambling on and on about things and had to keep resorting to talking about obama's age and the fact that he wasn't in the military. my god. that old man is done for.



  26. 26

    did you hear him refer to obama as "that one?" are you kidding? i am just waiting for mccain to snap that little hobbit



  27. 27

    OBAMA/BIDEN '08



  28. 28

    boring but obama did a great job

    ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
    ****** Perez, THIS is why people will be voting FOR Prop 8 ******
    ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
    People in Orange County and the area have been going door to door showing people speeches OBAMA gave that said he didnt support gay marriage. THIS IS WHAT THE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE FALLING FOR. All the dumb youngin's love Obama and are doing anything he says. They also have a couple TV ads here running locally with obama in them talking AGAINST gay marriage. OC is one of the most conservative places in Cali and they're using it to win. Obama is an idiot running his mouth against equality, and giving the enemy material to convince young voters!! People need to know that being treated differenty IS NOT EQUAL. IT WILL NEVER BE EQUAL.
    In the constitution it says, ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL. Nobody should be allowed to deny that. Support NO on 8, Perez. And call out Obama for his stupid remarks against gay marriage. I don't care what religion you are, discrimination is NOT tolerance.
    ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄

    NO ON 8!!



  30. 30

    Sorry, I know everyone on this liberal site will disagree with me but Obama really did dance around the questions. Especially the last one when he was asked what he didn't know and how he would learn. His answer was "uh well I will tell you what I do know" and then went on rambling as usual. He is not direct in his answers and says the same things over and over. He ignored the moderator when firmly told to stop blabbing and wanted unfair follow ups. He seemed cocky and arrogant tonight. I watched with an open mind but Mccain to me really answered everything clearly and directly. He has proven, to me at least, that he is not like Bush and proved that tonight. He wants to help this country and I think he would. Obama seems like he is all talk, but has not proven to me that he has the abilities to lead this country properly. And with no experience and think it is dangerous to elect him at this time.



  31. 31

    it was definitely repetitive but obama still impressed. he better win this election. mccain as the next president seems unthinkable.



  32. 32

    The whistling………..was horrific. Obama kept it calm and smart.



  33. 33

    Re: jennlj85
    Did you watch? He never said it was a privilege hunny



  34. 34

    3 Questions:
    1. Why are all the debates being held in the east and south? There are voters west of the Mississippi!!!
    2. No questions on education, No Child Left Behind- is education important only to parents and teachers? Education is the ticket to a better life - knowledge is power!!
    3. No questions about illegal immigration either - it is a huge issue, especially in the southwest -



  35. 35

    McCain clearly was just trying to attack Obama the whole time. He also repeated many things Obama said…. I honestly felt bad for McCain. BARACK THE VOTE!



  36. 36

    Rethuglican Brokaw was giving McCain more time. I watched those little lights, too. Having said that, I thought John McCain looked like a senile old man rambling back and forth and babbling. He has no authority behind his words. He was rude to Obama and to the audience. He also was a coward. He and Palin are accusing Obama of hanging around terrorists and making a big deal of Obama's associations, and yet McCain didn't even have the guts to look him in the eye and bring it up. It must not be that important and it certainly isn't legitimate. If you have to ask, "Who's Barack Obama" by now, you are crazy. McCain looked and sounded like a phoney. Obama won. Period. He is more ready then McCain. I thought it was very moving when Obama talked about his mother in the hospital dying of cancer and still fighting with insurance companies about her bills. I think that is why he really is running for President. He wants to change things so other people can get better benefits. I like him. Plus McCain is FUG!



  37. 37

    OBAMA, OBAMA, OBAMA!!!
    Please keep McCain/Palin out of the white house!!!!!



  38. 38

    mccain was unprofessional and rude.
    his behavior made him seem less credible. which i guess is good!
    OBAMA 08!



  39. 39

    McCain looked so damn olllllld…



  40. 40

    it was so boring!



  41. 41

    Obama won. McCain is just not a natural for televised debates, he comes off like a cranky old man while Obama comes off Presidential while giving better, more coherent answers.



  42. 42

    I must say I think it is very sad that there are more comments on the topic of Aubrey O Day getting kicked out of Danity Kane than there are on the debate tonight. That said, OBAMA ROCKS!



  43. 43

    Who the hell cares about race? Obama's gunna win this shit!

    O B A M A 0 8 ' , BITCHES!



  44. 44

    I was bored. Same content. The polls give it to Obama. I say it was a tie.



  45. 45

    Obama was GREAT!! He answered every question directly, was articulate and comfortable. Very presidential… McCain was all over the place, didn't answer the questions and was trying to insult Obama, but it didn't work. Yay Obama!!!

    Someone get that man a ratchet. Cause the man can't seem to lift his arms past his waist.

    'THAT ONE'

    MCCAIN IS A DOUCH!

    I LOVE YOU BARACK



  51. 51

    DOUCHE!!!!
    .
    MCCAIN MORE OF THE SAME!
    .
    OBVIOUSLY "my friends"



  52. 52

    Re: Nicole_189 – 21 You wish!



  53. 53

    Re: Sweetmomma – LOL i don't know what debate you were watching, but McCain didn't answer the questions at all!! he went off subject so many times and had tons of tangents… Obama flat out answered the questions from the people so well… the woman who was angry and the man who asked what the bailout bill does.. he was very direct. I don't get your interpretation of the debate. Every poll is showing Obama is "likeable" in the debate and that he won.



  54. 54

    If McCain could focus on the questions and stop coming up with desperate acts of "bad Obama" then Obama wouldn't have had to keep correcting him, THEN we probably would've had a good debate. McCain just can't take the polls at the moment and he's loosing his cool.. sad.
    [[OBAMA08]]



  55. 55

    :) obama definitely won this! mccain.. god i can't stand him. he is so annoying and fake. we all know he's a desperate liar. can't wait for president obama!!!!!

    Like how McPain wants Warren Buffet for Sec of Treasury, Warren endorses and supports Obama.



  57. 57

    Re: moonbeams – Please elaborate on how he was rude to Barack and the audience.



  58. 58

    Re: desertratwife – 34 Obama is the only one who talks about education. He made it clear it was top most importance to the security of America at the last debate.



  59. 59

    McCain was bitter, he took a whole bunch of cheap shots, and the dick moderator gave much leeway to McCain and was a total prick to Obama. I found myself hoping Obama would finally just say something about it. Its okay for McDouche to go on forever, since he was cracking little jokes and talking to the moderator as if they were in the high school lunch room. Yet Obama goes over and he wants to say something. Disgusting. Obama won it, to put it simply. He kept his cool, and did not act like an ass.



  60. 60

    Re: Sweetmomma – I agree 100%!!!!! All the little idiots on this page proclaiming victory for Obama probably did not even watch and/or understand anything about tonight's debate. Obama dances around everything and act like he can change things overnight!!!! Any intelligent person would understand that no matter who is elected, cannot change things single-handedly! Everything goes through congress. It seems to me most of the responces on this site are from underage kids that can't vote to begin with.



  61. 61

    Re: desertratwife
    Yes, those issues are very important but this was only an hour and a half debate. And if you didn't know…this country is in the middle of a crises! And all over the world people are noticing that the mighty is crumbling! Soon Guatemala will be the land of opportunity!



  62. 62

    Wow, did any of you all actually watch the debate with an open mind? I would love someone to tell me an actual plan that Obama mapped out besides one for health care, which I totally agree with. He danced around every question and rambled aimlessly in circles. I'm not saying he's a bad person or ignorant, ect. but I would've liked to hear more specific and detailed plans rather than how everything in our country needs to be fixed. WE KNOW that, tell us how you're going to do it. And not to be one sided, I wish McCain would've left some of the slandering out of it, but overall, I think McCain killed it, and thats not because I feel some loyalty to the republican party, I just watched it with an open mind.



  63. 63

    Of Course and as usual McCain did a great job and you could tell he was getting under Obama's skin. Obama couldn't even keep to the rules and had to keep adding in his 2cents when his time was up, he kept dragging along, and basically had to be reminded to shut up.
    -
    People have already made up their minds, but for the sake of this country people really need to wake up, look into Obama's Terrorist Ties more seriously and Vote McCain to be our Next President!!



  64. 64

    Re: Sweetmomma – I DONT KNOW WHAT FUCKING DEBATE YOU WERE WATCHING CAUSE I DONT REMEMBER OBAMA DANCING AROUND ANY QUESTIONS…..NOW GO BACK TO SUCK ON McCAIN's DICK



  65. 65

    Re: laaaaame – You named 2 questions he answered directly. What about the others? What about the last one? People who are so in love with Obama refuse to even hear what Mccain has to say. I don't believe Mccain rambled at all. Obama is the one who kept getting told by the moderator to shut it basically. So who was rambling? I don't care what polls say. This is my opinion and I am entitled to it.



  66. 66

    Re: jenuwyn – then you need to put on your thinking cap, because the "unthinkable" will happen again just like it did to john kerry and al gore.



  67. 67

    Obama will make a good president, and that has been something we have been without for about 12 years or so. Maybe we will get lucky and Mccain will die of old age before the election….



  68. 68

    But yes Perez, I watched. Heard the same speech from McCain except that he wants to buy all the houses now. Ya, with what money dude.
    .
    Obama was amazing and presidential! He clearly answered every question.
    .
    On CSPAN at the end, he and Michelle were shaking hands and taking pictures with the audience and the announcer had to come on and say why Obama was in all the shots. McCain had left the building. Wow, reach out and touch someone John! Cindy was walking bent over with here hands behind her back like, eww don't touch me. McCain turned away from Obama and wouldn't shake his hand.
    He is a rude little motherfucker isn't he. "That one."
    .
    MCCAIN MORE OF THE STAIN!



  69. 69

    I THINK PEOPLE WHO DECIDE TO VOTE FOR OBAMA AFTER ALL THE CRAP THATS BEEN DUG UP ON HIM ARE STUPID.
    HE WAS THE LAWYER FOR ACORN…ACORN JUST GOT INVESTIGATED IN LAS VEGAS FOR REGISTERING THE STARTING LINEUP OF THE DALLAS COWBOYS…



  70. 70

    McCain sucked ass…as usual….it's too funny to read the posts of republicans in denial over how idiotic he is…there is absolutely no chance of anything but an Obama election win…not even close. It keeps getting worse for McCain and Palin every time someone puts a microphone in front of either one of them…they're digging their own graves…



  71. 71

    Arrora, you obviously did not watch the debate. McCain was getting under everyones skin because HE is the one who would not follow rules. Its only fair that Obama get to go over when blabbermouth McGee goes on and on and on and constantly added his stupid low blow comments that had nothing to do with anything. I thought my head was going to explode with all the high pitch whistling coming out of McCains mouth. McCain was a complete asshole tonight and I am glad everyone got to see just that little portion of what he is really like. Not shaking Obamas hand at the end..what a rude little prick.

    Re: TylerDurden – NO WORRIES BITCH CAUSE I KNOW THAT YOU AND ALL THE BITTER REPUBLICANS WILL FEEL THE BITCH SLAP WHEN OBAMA BECOMES PRESIDENT……

    Lol I watched like 30 minutes of it, the middle part of it and did anybody notice McCain kept saying
    ”my friends”
    I was like stfu already….
    obama will make a great president
    obama ftw.

  74. LEAH. says – reply to this


    74

    I think McCain was on point and FIESTY! I love it. Obama rambled a lot and seemed uncomfortable with the whole format, whereas McCain really embraced it and communicated with the audience. I was fortunate to watch the entire thing in an auditorium with my college, and most of us really responded to the clear cut answers that McCain was giving. And no, this isn't bias- Obama got some claps to, but you have to admit that tonight McCain gave straight answers and seemed very comfortable. Obama was struggling.



  75. 75

    Re: AustinTXGirl – YOU TRULY ARE STUPID…SENATOR MCCAIN CANT LIFT HIS ARMS BECAUSE THEY WERE BROKEN REPEATEDLY BY THE NORTH VIETNAMESE. IF YOU HAD LIVED THROUGH THE ABUSES HE SUFFERED YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO LIFT YOUR ARMS EITHER.



  76. 76

    Re: TylerDurden – Responses, not "responces"



  77. 77

    Re: maryc – You're an idiot- McCain said Buffett was qualified but didn't want him as Sec. of Treasury- Obama said he wanted him! You guys don't watch these to learn but to bash McCain. Anywho, if Obama is "for the people" why is he picking one of the richest men in America to be sec of treas?



  78. 78

    Re: JASAMM6 – I am sure people who vote for Obama love to be associated with the likes of you. Why so angry?

    Palin is so fucking DUMBBB I swear if McCain/Palin is in the white house i'll shoot someone.



  80. 80

    Obama is a waste, and as a Latino you still support him?? What's wrong with you??? Read a book…get an education…Obama won't do mierda for Latinos



  81. 81

    A lot less mud slinging that I thought it would be. I guess the old geezer decided to tone it down a notch. My WTF moment happened when he referred to Obama as "that one". Utter disrespect but then again, I shouldnt expect much from the republican fool.



  82. 82

    I was at the corner market shopping for vegetables when I heard the ending. I can't speak for Obama since I missed most of it, but I thought McCain's closing was pretty strong.



  83. 83

    Re: JASAMM6 – BARACK CAN'T ANSWER ANY POLICY QUESTIONS WITH EXPERIENCE…OBAMA IS ALL SMOKE AND MIRRORS. HE WANTS TO RAISE TAXES. HOW DO YOU THINK HIS "PLAN" TO RID THE DEFICIT WILL WORK. TAX THE FUCK OUTTA EVERYONE. SO IF YOU INVEST IN STOCKS AND THEY MAKE MONEY….OBAMA WANTS 35-40% OF WHAT YOU MAKE. GETTING YOUR TALKING POINTS FROM MSNBC AND CNN AREN;T TRULY RELIABLE SOURCES…THEY DO NOT SHOW THE OTHER SIDE.



  84. 84

    FUCK THEM BOTH !!!!! P!NK FOR PRESIDENT !!! :)



  85. 85

    to everyone saying mccain won—

    look at the debate again. surely it'll be on youtube within hours…but look again at mccain's face. every time he went up, he'd look at the ground, and look around to try to bring shit up to bring obama down. look how calm, cool and collected obama looked. why? because he knows what he's doing. mccain knows he's losing right now, because he knows he's fucked himself in the ass ten times over, by saying things now that appeal to people, after voting for the opposite only a few months ago.

    mccain is done. it'd take a miracle for him to win now.
    the only people who are going to vote for him are conservative assholes and the child molesting priests who can't admit they're gay.
    he doesn't NOT believe in gay marriage. he doesn't want to REDEFINE marriage. which is FINE. who cares if the definition in the dictionary says a man and a woman? all we want is to have the same rights. i, for one, don't care if some church wants to marry me or not. as long as i have the same rights as everyone else.



  86. 86

    this is the story.. McCain will lose and Barack will win,

    we knew this from the beginning..

    no change, or change. ITS YOUR CHOICE

    VOTE!

  92. 92

    Neither candidate had much to say that was new. I follow the news all day, so maybe I have heard everything that each has to say. McCain made a mistake by addressing the audience members as uneducated on the current economic crisis. He said that they probably “hadn’t heard of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac”. Wow. What Barack Obama and Joe Biden offer appeals to me. It must appeal to many others due to the polls. Americans are not falling for foolish “scare tactics” this election. Most of them have learned their lesson. Obama/Biden



  93. 93

    didn't hear anything new, but it is good to see them together and hear the real fundamental differences from each candidate. McCain tried to pound Obama on key issues, but Obama bounced back after each one. They both seemed presidential, but Obama has got an edge of charisma.



  94. 94

    Anywho, if Obama is "for the people" why is he picking one of the richest men in America to be sec of treas?

    He is the richest person in America for a good reason: He is smart and can manage his money well. We need someone like that as our sec.



  95. 95

    Re: Tiffy25 – Obama wasn't serious about having Buffett as Sec. of Treasury. He said Buffett is qualified.



  96. 96

    Pretty amusing, considering I'm about two sheets (not quite three sheets) to the wind from playing a drinking game called, "drink every time McCain says 'my friends'" using a box of Franzia (because no way I'm wasting good wine on anything that comes out of that man's mouth)!



  97. 97

    As a person that watched the debate with an open mind, McCain beat the pants off of Obama. McCain laid out a PLAN for every question that was thrown his way. This is unlike Obama who just orated his way around the issue. The ONLY plan Obama defined was his healthcare plan, which was basically the same as McCains's… I liked it. I think McCain was a bit blunt,at times but what you call "attacks against Obama" were just him bringing up valid facts, the main one being that McCain's track record is much more efficient than Obama's. I seriously don't understand how people claim that Obama won this debate… you obviously have no clue how a debate is actually won. Even the very liberal network called CNN said Obama was on the defensive.

    McCain, you rocked it.



  98. 98

    Re: Snokie – WHO KNEW THIS??? ARE YOU SPEAKING OF THE ELECTORATE THAT INCUDES THE FAMOUS OHIO VOTER"JIVE TURKEY" OR THE NEVADA VOTERS THAT ARE THE STARTING LINE OF THE DALLAS COWBOYS?

  99. 99

    All I know is I'm 24 years old I registered to vote days ago and that is "1" for MCCAIN/PALIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  100. 100

    senator mccain was just a little upset that the "black man" won the debate. He is pathetic and I'm urging all americans to support the more intelligent Obama. McCain is just an erratic old white man.
