And McCain should be lambasted if he did mention it. It's been the theme song of the Republican Party since 9/12/01. Obama was smart to bring it up and take it away from McCain should he attempt to make the "with Republicans you're safer" argument.
I found the debate mostly boring.
Obama was clearly the "winner" of this debate. He came across as being more likable and like CP said he hit back when necessary and didn't let things go like Kerry did.
There were too many awkward moments coming from McCain. The hairplugs line, the nailing Jell-o to the wall comment, the weird pacing he did...
This may seem like a minor point but McCain's "that one" stuck with me. It was condescending and a failed attempt at a light-hearted moment. It hit me the wrong way and I think it will with other people too.
The Obamas stuck around after the debate was over and talked to people. That played very well for him. McCain and his Stepford Wife disappeared.
