The first 30 minutes were devoted to the financial crisis, and both candidates were tone deaf to the current American panic. But McCain so blatently refused to answer Lehrer's questions, that he asked it again and again ... and the final time even saying he was changing the wording so that he could hope to get a straight answer from either of them.
Once the debate turned to the scheduled topic of foreign policy, they each did better.
I was amazed and aghast today to overhear so many rightwing newscasts that, I guess predictably, found Obama's performance and positions abyssmal and McCain fantastic on both fronts. On.What.Planet?
