You commented that on “McCain vs. Obama: Clear choice on style & substance”.

Some of us believe in doing what is right, despite what the media tells us those in other countries may think of us. It’s called integrity. Liberals take public polls to decide what road to go down; conservatives act with integrity.

Yes, people really do believe America will be better off with McCain as president. Strange, ain’t it, that people will prefer a man who will lower taxes, for everyone, and make sure that America’s enemy’s don’t get nuclear weapons, compared to a Marxist who wants to redistribute people’s wealth. Odd, huh? You are also right about Obama being a better spokesperson for America, hence ” uh…uh…wait a minute here I…I can’t hear myself”.And it’s also true he is very professional, that is a professional puppet. Which makes one wonder, who is the puppetier?

As for myself, I did have preconceived notions…I expected McCain to flop. I didn’t like McCain at the start of the campaign. Had I’d gotten out of it what I expected to see, McCain would have lost last night. I was pleasantly surprised to see him perform so well. I think he was relaxed. I had expected him to be rigid. He was funny. There were a number of times I wish the audience was allowed to laugh, and once that I was pleased that they did laugh, despite the no laughing/no applauding rule. I think people got to see a side of McCain that had not been exposed prior to last night, a side I had never seen. I expected to see Obama perform well (as he normally does–perform being a key word), but instead he was rigid. He looked more nervous than McCain, which is not at all what I expected to see. So, yes, for me there were preconceived expectations, but what I expected isn’t at all what I got.

No thinking Republican could have switched to Obama on the basis of last night’s debate. Maybe your hubby isn’t thinking or maybe he’s not really a Republican. Come to think of it, are you sure you’re really married?

Well, even I agree with McWalkingsticks rhetorical policies that he stated last night, but as far as eloquence or persona or even confidence I did not see a “winner” of a debate. Mcwalkingstick clearly misrepresented BO, which is dishonest in my book, just as much as BO misrepresented McWalkingstick.
