Yeah, that was painful

Few random notes....

Obama +1 for mentioning young people volunteerism

McCain -42 for condescending tone (his trademark, by now). It's so hard to watch him baby the country.

Obama -27 for being too vague and general.

Obama -18 for repetitiveness.

Obama +61 for not being John Kerry. He's as armed with comebacks as McCain is.

....

McCain - 100 for sounding extremely meek in volume and tone.

my biggest question - will there be outrage at the candidate who brought up 9/11? I mean, how dare he!

I know you're kidding, but I think that bringing up 9/11 to conjure fear vs. bringing up the squandered unity post-9/11 is something altogether different.

It was most certainly said in jest, but no matter what context brought up by McCain it would be lambasted. As an example, in the last debate, McCain brought it up as an example of how the parties can come together in times of crisis, and in these parts he was slammed on big time.

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.

Yeah. I saw Obama and his America hating wife socializing. Oh, wait. My bad. We aren't supposed to use ad hominem attacks here.

Even though I still won't be voting for him, I thought McCain won.

I thought that only one of them truly butchered an answer, which was near the end when Obama was talking about Russia and Putin.
