I only watched the last half hour. At least in that window it didn't seem like there was any real beat down going on either way but I'm willing to defer to the quickly solidifying conventional wisdom.

I look forward to the quadrennial practice of the media deciding what both participants did wrong within 30 seconds of the debate ending then the candidates overreacting to those rulings and getting pummeled after the second debate for overcompensating.

I was told to stop yelling at the TV after he said this. Apparently I can't watch a presidential debate quietly. ;)

Kinda looks like Sharpton.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought that scaeagles.

How many cycles do it think it will be before a Democratic presidential nominee shows up at a debate in a red tie or Republican in blue?

I want to run just so I can show up in a green tie and blow people's minds.

I found it interesting that the whole Red State/Blue State only started in 2000.

I found it interesting that of all the televised first presidential debates between an incumbent and challenger, only ONE was won by the incumbent.





And that sure wasn't Obama ... it's kinda easy to guess who it was. :cool:

What???? You mean you don't think Bob Dole won Bob Dole's first debate with Clinton? :) Bob Dole would say "Bob Dole won that debate and Bob Dole knows all about debates and Bob Dole".

Then people will assume you're a Muslim... Or Irish... Which won't make any difference, becuase everone knows they're all terrorists anyway. Why do you hate America?
