This debate is pointless.
obama is a young, inexperienced, big-talking idealistic fan favorite who got hoisted up by the crowd and pushed to the front to stand up at the podium and sing maxims of change and hope and all the things people want to hear.
mccain has been doing this a long time and knows how foreign policy works, he knows how legislating works, he understands the principles of government and he is REALISTIC.
if you want steady, solid substance, vote mccain.
if you want to hear about change, idealism, hope, new america, yes we can, and a whole bunch of other stuff that are not even remotely substantive policy platforms, then vote obama. but voting obama is like putting something on credit. yeah, you're enjoying the wave of his speaking and his preaching and his hope right now, but when he goes to put all these policies in place, the bubble is gonna burst because the totality of these policies just wont add up to be plausible. but hey, they sound good. they're great in an ideal world, right? so lets just ignore reality, be undisciplined, lack a realistic point of view, and vote for barrack hussein obama bin laden.
McCain looks horrible out there.

Exactly. That's why in these threads, it's usually liberals complimenting Obama/Biden and the conservatives complimenting McCain/Palin.
This debate sucks. Spread these things much farther out along the campaigns. It's just non-answers and repeating of the talking points we've heard for months.
no follow up questions is a stupid ass rule.

No kidding. "Here's the topic, state your talking points. Don't worry about responding to criticism from your opponent."
This debate won't change anything. They're just saying the same things they've been saying. Anyone thinking someone is winning or losing this debate is an idiot.

Funny.....most other democracies believe otherwise........ and the people seem to like it.
[b]Obama using Osama as an excuse to invade Pakistan?[/b]
that was very interesting when Obama took charge with the follow up. McCain looked pissed with that death glare he was giving him. He sounded a tad whiny asking for equal time to me.
[b]McCain: Vladamir Putin = KGB[/b]
wow. its a yes or no question. they are going off ramblin again

each candidate has been alotted 1 response to each answer. that is the rules of the debate.
obama has tried to jump in and get the last word every time, to the point where he had to actually started begging for follow ups because mccain was making good points that obama was desperate to spin or attempt to discredit. thats pretty immature and shows a lack of class and discipline.
but all you saw was mccain being whiney because he wanted the debate to be conducted on equal terms?
:hammerhead:
b/c it should be assumed they will get equal time.
its not like Brokaw has been stopping them when they go over either.
and Mac isnt making good points. This has all been practically word for word stuff I have heard them give in countless stump speeches and even the last debate.
