US Presidential debate (Final): John McCain vs. Barack Obama

Alright guys/gals, tonight is the 3rd and final debate between the two candidates. So far polls show Obama with a lead of atleast 16 points (NPR predictions). Tonight will give both candidates a last chance to speak to Americans all at once.

Those who have been following this race, please watch the debate and then discuss your extracts here. What did you gain, what did you lose. Has your vote changed? Which candidate did better than the other?

Thanks as always for participating. All your previous feedback has been commendable. Bravo!

Useless.... Obama has already won.... despite of him being an Ayrab...lol

Re: US Presidential debate (Final): John McCain vs. Barack Obama

^A lady from Republican camp actually said that, and i believe it was something along the lines of 'I'm afraid of him, he's an arab'...at which point McCain took the mic back from her and told her 'No ma'am! No!'...i thought that was good of him. Because negativity will only drag him down. Lately Rupublican crowd has been getting a little rowdy with the name-calling and what-not.

What really ticked me off was Palin's remark to her campaign last week, and CNN has been airing it where she said 'Obama gave lengthy speeches about how America made a mistake by going into war, it would be nice just once, just once for him to say that he wants America to win'...that i believe shows her absence to the reality and connects her more to the mindset of Bush where he assumed the war would be won quickly and the world will be a better place. How wrong we were!!!!!

Anywho....Each debate is a chance for the candidates to shine themselves or do poorly and corrode their image. I'll be watching this debate with an open mind, regardless of whatever happened last week or the week before. Many may look to this debate as a make it or break it chance for them to weigh in who they think is the stronger candidate and a possible Leader for this nation.

Lets see what happens...

Re: US Presidential debate (Final): John McCain vs. Barack Obama

All right guys , its time to get conned again. So we have 2 corporate ****** bought and paid for by the same establishment, none of them is born in United States so both are ineligible to run for Presidents, going at each other in fake debate where they will talk about petty issues that don't matter but they will completely ignore the real issues America is facing because there is no difference between them when it comes to real issues and general public will sit there in front of TV clapping like lobotomize monkeys believing in a fraud that their vote really matters and they have a real choice.

^ Don't forget your tinfoil hat for the debate fresh prince.

Re: US Presidential debate (Final): John McCain vs. Barack Obama

^ Is Jesse Jackson right about Obama reducing the influence of israelis at the presidency? :)

Btw, aren't we underestimating the Wilder Effect?

yeah, I listened to it today while driving. He repeated the same thing and the callers are just biased. Talking about his birth certificate, him being muslim, arab, non qualified..etc

Tinfoil? What are you talking about? Have you had too much fluoridated municipal water today

.....

Re: US Presidential debate (Final): John McCain vs. Barack Obama

McCain is coming strong today.... but his thoughts are still very staggered. Joe the plumber is a good ploy to remain realistic.

Obama is again condescending and being arrogant.

Re: US Presidential debate (Final): John McCain vs. Barack Obama

McCain was only little strong in the beginning, later obama got lead.. I think obama was very strong on taxes, healthcare, education, and supremecourt + abortion issue.

hawaii is not part of the united states?

Sean Hannity must be going crazy inside. He is the only one out there acting like McCain won this. Even their poll done before his show on Fox News, had most of the independents saying Obama did a better job.

I thought McCain did very well in the beginning, but then he just fell flat on his face. The Ayers and Lewis thing really threw McCain off his game. Conservatives are going to label this as a victory because they have no choice. There's no "next debate" and so they have to say that even if they don't believe it. One particular part to note was when Obama responded to the small business fine and he said "I've got a number for you, it's zero." McCain's face was absolutely priceless. I can't even explain it..McCain's face had lots of strange reactions. Lots of rolling of the eyes.
