I was so proud of John McCain, Iam afraid of Obama , did yall know he was the community organizer that was given x amount of Money to fund the teaching of radical politics, scares me that he and the dem congress (which has hurt us the last 2 years look at what has happened since dems control congres ) will be in charge of education, I have a tape on radical teaching of children and its not what I believe in. soooooo GOOOOOOOO John McCain your the best choice I see

***********************

Yes and he continues to deny, but he doesn’t denounce the fraud they commit. Obama has his fingerprints all over this fraud, as he is a fraud himself. So sick of the lies he spews all the time smiling and acting so cool. Makes me wonder what he is smoking to have no conscience when he tells his lies.

McCain/Palin 2008! Country First, Reform & Restore this Great Country!

 
Comment by Bill Edwards

If you voted Republican in last election THEY TOOK YOU TO THE CLEANERS!!

Trillion dollar bailout coming baby at your expense!!

How is your job?

What is your home worth today?

1.2 Million homes in foreclosure last month

Unemployment 6.1 percent

Banks Failing (Indymac, Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and many more to come!)

Alan Greenspan says it is worst economy in 100 years!!

Gas too expensive to fill your tank!

Are you better off now then 8 years ago?

Bush and Republicans have run this country into the ground,

If you want 4 more years of this just vote Republican! I hope you do
so they can take you to the cleaners AGAIN!!!!!

What is with the star on Obama’s head? It’s on the top left side of his head in the back. Is it a tatoo or shaved into his hair? Looks odd.

 
Comment by Frank Cotolo

After the Oct. 7 debate between the Presidential candidates, a Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll revealed that Democratic candidate Barack Obama has a slim 2-point lead on Republican John McCain. That slim margin is within the margin-of-error range, according to poll-expert Slim Margin.

“Obama,” said Mr. Margin while buttering a corn muffin at breakfast the morning after the debate, “had 47 percent to McCain’s 45 percent in the national poll. That is actually a 2.8-percentage-point lead. Obama leds by 2 points before the debate and by a strong 12 in an ad-hoc show-of-hands poll taken during the debate at a Nashville watering hole.”

Margin indicated that 4 percent of voters said they were still undecided. Oddly enough, that same 4 percent was also undecided on where to go directly after they participated in the poll.

The daily tracking poll samples public opinion until the Nov. 4 election and after the debate it showed Obama leading with a 9-point advantage among independents and a 7-point edge among women.

But McCain had a 15-percent advantage among people who said they lied about saying they would vote for Obama or any black man. A sub-category in that poll also showed McCain would be 24 points ahead if his opponent was Oriental and 78 percent if his opponent was half black and half Oriental.

“This race is almost even,” said a pollster wearing a John Zogby mask. He added that neither candidate has taken advantage of voter unhappiness with the country’s direction, although all of the people polls agreed that the country’s four directions should remain north, south, east and west.

Obama has the lead in most national polls, except for those produced using only senior citizens. McCain won that by 90 percent. “It would have been unanimous,” said Margin, “but 10 percent of the people who chose Omaba died only moments after revealing their opinions.”

Comment by Patricia Hoff

Great job Obama ! I wish McCain would just give us an answer that has some specifics. I honestly don’t know WHAT he will do. Overall the same as always.

 
Comment by Carol from WI

John McCain is a man, steady and straight-shooting.
He had confidence with the issues and instills confidence in his listeners with his steady hand.
He is the man that makes me feel safe.

Obama was unsteady and makes me feel insecure.
He appears like a kid, and as usual, he calls on his rock, Michelle, to let him know what he doesn’t know. Michelle’s face winced when he said that tonight.

Obama wants to be the leader of the strongest country on the earth, yet why does he always throw in his wife as the all knowing one? In the past he has said she is the smartest person he knows, and that she is his rock. As a believer in the Almighty God, I know that He is my Rock, He is greater than a mere created being, greater than my spouse!!

Why would we want such a mama’s boy as our commander and chief? “Michelle, the Iranians have attacked Israel what should I do? The Russians are setting up bases in Venezuela, what should I do? The Chinese have sent over Halloween candy with poisoned milk in them, what should I do?”

How about a nice cartoon spread featuring Obama with a pacifier in his mouth crying, “Mama Michelle, what should baby boy Barack do?” Featuring Michelle standing on the rock of Gibraltar.

Give me a leader who is a real man, John McCain, a man of integrity and honor; and one who can think on his feet!

Healthcare: McCain made an excellent point about the Obama Healthcare “Doctrine” and fines involved, basically describing socialized medicine. Apparently Tom didn’t like the answer, so he asked a followup.

Don’t know the rules of this debate format, since the first question came almost immediately after the broadcast began. Hope you FOX guys do a tally when this is done. I’ll be shocked if there are more questions from the Town Hall than from the “I’m just the paid help” moderator.

Know I missed the rules, but where did these “Town Hall” people come from? Not any Town Hall meeting I’ve ever seen. They’re dressed like they’re going to a wedding/funeral. And, where did they get the questions on 3 x 5 cards?

Right now I can’t decide if I’ll even turn on the TV or XM tomorrow. Sickening.

 
Comment by WmEarl

I’m a McCain supporter but if he says “My friends” one more time I’m going to screem. How disingenuous!

 
Comment by Randy%20Boone

Comment by shaykay0612

when does the revolt start.

 
Comment by krambew

McCain needs to difuse the “voted for” stuff… it is never as simple as the record shows. Because of riders and consecessions and poison pills,. McCain is principled and votes for clean bils.

 
Comment by tomo

Comment by Troy

Comment by JJ

MCCAIN DID PRETTY WELL

 
Comment by David

I really wish to hear their positions in a debate format about abortion and other social issues that are also important. I am not worried about the economy personally.

 
Comment by Christopher

Comment by nwelch

Obama never directly answered the questions… He skirted his answers with a wordiness that can only be described as “bull”.

Comment by Legette

Haha I can’t believe that Obama is calling the “American Dream” taking welfare from the government. That’s socialism.

 
Comment by Terry

The last question, they both missed. Should have answered: “To know that you know what you know…and to Not know that which you do Not know..then that is True Knowledge…Thoreau

Comment by Sylvia%20Bruscato

Obama clearly was the big LOOSER in tonight,s debate. Cheers for McCain!!! Calm, extremely confident in his words, and knowledge.

 
Comment by s

Obama plans on solving the economic crisis. Where does the plan on getting this money? Maybe from his buddy and ex ceo of Fannie Mae Frank Raines. Who made millions.

 
Comment by ROB

I am a middle class teacher and I will never vote for Obama. He will destroy this country and those that I am educating.

Is it just me, I seem to understand their foreign policy better than their policies on the economy and healthcare. That worries me.

 
Comment by Joe

Uggggh. Both of these guys blow. Obama’s a kill whitey BS’er who’s a better chamelion than Bill Clinton. McCain is about as inspiring as Al Gore. I’m going to get drunk now.

Communism a change in which we can all die upon

 
Comment by Mike%20Fitzgerald

McCain has shown tonight that he his clearly the winner of this debate and anyone who does not vote for him will doom our country. Obama can only talk the talk and not walk the walk.

 
Comment by Smitty

In my opinion — that was one of the worst debates I have ever seen and heard. Brokaw did a terrible job of moderating. It is no wonder our country is the best if this is the best we can do.

 
Comment by Renee%20Thompson

Look at the Bill of Rights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!What happened to it!!!!

 
Comment by Gary

The sad part about answering the last question, is they did not.

 
Comment by Mike%20S

Why is it that there have been NO conservative moderators? Why is it that Obama gets a pass from answering the questions asked of him hes never answered one.

 
Comment by Mike%20

the key to Americas freedom is the 2nd amendment. Obamas trak record shows that he is against it. huh sounds like socialism (or should i say communisim)

 
Comment by frank%20schmitt

Doesnt it seem like Barry makes everyone feel like victim?

 
Comment by Nahkii

Obama really makes me sick to my stomach. Clearly I hope the real American people can see through his BS & vote for the real superstar… John McCain!

 
Comment by Ben

McCain has obviously shown his great intelligence with foreign affairs and Obama and shown his lack of experience. How does Obama think he can catch up, and how long will that take?

 
Comment by sw

McCain definately better tonight.
