although I'm a rightwinger :thumbsup:, I thought Obama blew McCain out of the water ... I was a high school debater (possibly even a 'MasterDebater' ), and there's no way Obama wouldn't have won that debate hands down ... reminded me a LOT of the 1960 Nixon/Kennedy debate, (except that one was in B&W ) ... that was famous, because even though most agreed Nixon nailed Kennedy repeatedly, he looked like hell doing it ... nervous, sweaty, obviously holding his temper, McCain/Nixon looked sad and old in my eyes ... several times McCain made an honest, truthful statement, that he would have been better off, just keeping it to himself :wtf: ... more than a few times, I rolled my eyes and said to myself, "there goes another 10 million votes" :wtf: ... regardless of how it turns out, it's just like Prom night ... after the election, we'll have some fun, swap some spit, then we're f*cked ...
