  • @manicLA: Obama was a zombie & came across as robotic and uncaring. He could have showed an ounce of emotion and didn’t. Uncaring. Unfeeling about 8 hours ago
  • Painful debate. No real winner, but McCain exhibited much more passion and had the stronger close. SLIGHT advantage: McCain. #debate08 about 8 hours ago
  • McCain is coming across as more passionate. “I know what it’s like.” “I believe.” Nice close. #debate08 about 8 hours ago
  • Not a strong finish for Obama. His closing needed to be passionate in this style of debate and it wasn’t. #debate08 about 8 hours ago
  • What is it with people from New Hampshire?? Oh, wait… #debate08 about 8 hours ago
  • North Korea quadrupled it’s nuke capability because CLINTON GAVE THEM THE TECHNOLOGY!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! #debate08 about 8 hours ago

  • @ericjodom: LOL. Nice. about 8 hours ago
  • I really don’t get the sense that either guy *wins* this debate, or could for that matter. The format doesn’t lend to it. #debate08 about 8 hours ago
  • @GreenPuma: That’s why I was playing Buzzword Bingo. :)  about 9 hours ago
  • “For the most part, I agree with Senator McCain.” Doesn’t Barack get that is the WRONG THING for him to say? LOL #debate08 about 9 hours ago
  • I’m still waiting for the pony tailed guy from the ’92 debate to stand up and ask them to treat us like their children. LOL #debate08 about 9 hours ago

  • @GreenPuma: See, I just don’t see that at all. lol about 9 hours ago
  • “If Pahkistahn is unable or unwilling to hunt down Bin Laden, I think we should.” That sounds like invading to me. #debate08 about 9 hours ago
  • Sooo…Obama would send troops to places where there is not an interest to our National Security…yet he criticizes Iraq. Amazing #debate08 about 9 hours ago
  • There’s McCain’s painful moment: him trying to crack a joke. UGH. #debate08 about 9 hours ago
  • Hmmm…isn’t Delaware JOE BIDEN’S state? Interesting, Barack. #debate08 about 9 hours ago
  • There’s the simplest difference: Republicans believe health care is a responsiblity; Democrats think it’s a right. #debate08 about 9 hours ago
  • Just because government would be paying for it doesn’t make the health care affordable. #debate08 about 9 hours ago
  • Brokaw’s sarcasm is unwelcome. Just ask the questions, pal. #debate08 about 9 hours ago
  • Brokaw is being such a b!tch. LOL #debate08 about 9 hours ago
  • Barack–no one is suggesting that drilling is the final solution. It’s a necessary step to get us to the next level. #debate08 about 9 hours ago
  • Obama sounds like he’d rather be anywhere else other than that debate. Did we wake him or something? #debate08 about 9 hours ago
  • “What’s the best way to fix that? Nuclear power!” And, he pronounced nuclear right! w00t! #debate08 about 9 hours ago
  • Ah, yes, the inevitable climate change question. Who had 9:43pm EDT? #debate08 about 9 hours ago
  • I think the wheels are about to come off the structure of this debate and it’s going to run right over Brokaw. LOL #debate08 about 9 hours ago
  • @GreenPuma: I think that’s the last thing McCain should do. He *shouldn’t* engage him directly…especially in this style of debate, I think about 9 hours ago
  • @GreenPuma: they are, and better than they did last week. I just wish it were more spontaneous. about 9 hours ago
  • Barack, $18 billion ISN’T a lot of money?!? C’mon… #debate08 about 9 hours ago
  • I thought Obama was going to finish “I believe…” with “the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way.” #debate08 about 9 hours ago

  • “How can we trust either of you with our money when both parties got us into this economic crisis?” Barack seems insincere. #debate08 about 10 hours ago
