Sir Stewart Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I have reached election cycle overload - I walked away from the TV after 20 minutes of this debate. Even the candidates seem exhausted. Link to post Share on other sites

austrya Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Something about the way McCain carries himself makes me think of fat guy in a little coat from Tommy Boy. SAB? Obama and Taj Mowry Link to post Share on other sites

mountain bed Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 A pretty civil tone me thinks. No Ayers, no Keating Five. Damn, Obama comes off as presidential material. McCain should keep his day job. I wish there would have been more back and forth. It seemed like as soon as things started getting good we'd be off to another question. Obama by a nose.

MrRain422 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 That was a really boring debate, which I think is good for Obama at this point. Link to post Share on other sites
Duck-Billed Catechist Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I wonder what percentage of people watch these things might possibly be swayed (certainly not me). I have a theory that most of us watch them out of some combination of a dubious sense of civic obligation and a sports fan's desire to see his/her team win. Link to post Share on other sites

mountain bed Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I guess I don't feel an obligation as much as I'm just a total junkie for politics. Hopelessly addicted. Link to post Share on other sites

mountain bed Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 That didn't cross my mind but yeah, definitely. The difference is just so striking - I wonder if historians will compare this to JFK/Nixon someday. Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I disliked the forum, and I thought the questions were weak. Just my opinion. from what I've been told, by people I trust, the lock is already in on obama. if that's the case, I truly wish him well. I don't look for anyone to fail in this job. (I guess that separates me from most of the rest of the posters here, but so be it) Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 gotta be honest... i'd have probably scored tonight's debate a tie...which means an Obama win in the grand scheme. really really boring stuff, even compared to the first debate. a good portion of it was a complete rehash. let's hope next week's debate is a bit more livlier. regardless, this thing is f'n OVERgame. set. match.
