The First Of The Presidential Debates

It was hard watching the debates last night. I had to go out so I Tivo'd it. I ended up watching it at 3 in the morning when all I wanted to do was sleep.

This debate was technically cut into two segments because of what has happened with the economy. I don't really think that there was a clear cut winner in the economy section. They both had OK points. The sad thing is that I know that McCain could have done a lot better. There were some jabs on both sides but it was a draw. I would give them both a C on this section.

On the second section, which was about foreign affairs, I say that McCain won. He put Obama on the defensive the whole time and picked up a few lines for TV and Radio ads, but not enough. Obama does not get it when it comes to sitting down with Dictators and he showed that. Obama also said a bunch of times how he agrees with McCain. It felt like to me that he didn't know what to say so he just agreed. I would give McCain a B+, since he really didn't deliver and blows and Obama a C in this section.

So my conclusion is that McCain won this debate, but not by much. He really better do better next time since he is down in the polls right now.

As an added note, I think it is hilarious when you go on the Medias websites and the Democrats have flooded their polls and comments section. Only an idiot couldn't tell that it was attacked. The same thing happened to the Bush / Kerry debates. All of the Big Media said that Kerry won, then Kerry got smacked down in the election.
