Who looked more presidential in the debate?

Oh, MG - so p'd off had to come post somewhaere. Can we first discuss how freakin' biased tired, old Tom Brokenaw is... so many times McPain is waffling on incessantly  about whah, whah, whah and Brokaw says nothing- but then comments at the end of an Obama response... just timed McPain- 2:45 on his waffling about his healthcare: green light blinking ON CAMERA then yellow ION CAMERA the red ON CAMERA the NO LIGHTS and he is still waffling- and Brokenaw goes right to obama with out any comment or admonition to McPain.

I thought he had retired- with good riddance. Then they insult the brilliant and blessed Tom Russert and the rest of us by putting this biased, stodgy old baffoon to sit in for Tim Russert (can't bring myself to use the term "fill in"). What a pathetic, sad joke.

If I hear another "My friends" I think I will scream! Four years of that and "You betcha"? No thank you.

anyone else want to puke when McCain says, 'my friends'? yeah, like he's my next door neighbor in any one of those SEVEN houses he owns.

I'm am not McCain's friend nor will I ever be! I wish he would just answer the question and tell the truth and sit down.  By the way how much longer is this debate going to go on? 

I so believe heads of countries can sit down together and talk anywhere, anytime. Don't exist in a world of fear of one another. I believe Sen. Obama will open those discussions.

McCain is a robot. He continues to repeat the same "friends," the same examples, the same everything. It wasn't believable the first time he said the same thing, and it isn't believable now! I wish he would stop beginning every comment with, "My friends...." We are not all his friends, and we're sick and tired of his rhetoric that answers nothing. Was he prepared for this town hall meeting by his running mate? It certainly looks that way and sounds that way. He and his "good friend" Joe Lieberman ( who doesn't know where he belongs and is most definitely a turncoat) need to give it up to the better ticket...Obama and Biden. Enough is enough.

Why does mccain randomly walk around while Obama is speaking and make strange face and hand gestures? That is incredibly disrespectful.. when McCain is talking obama sits down and either watches McCain or write...

PLEASE STOP THIS DEBATE!!!  IT'S HORRIBLE, EMBARRASSING!  I'M ASHAMED OF THEM

I totally agree with the comment from Radio Free America and R Wolf.  McCain has changed and is so dirty!  However palin is the scariest of them all!  I can not imagine what the rest of the world thinks about her even having a chance at the VP or Presedential job.  I know Europe was very nervous about John McCain this summer, they were afraid we would vote him in.  They were truly hoping Obama could win, they thought it would be so good for the world.

Senator McCain, my my how vindictive you are becoming, I'd love to see you loose your cool you deserve to.  I have not heard one common sense remark out of your mouth.  Mr. McCain, your absolutely repulsive.

Senator Obama is creepy. Please make him shut up. A suit with no claas.

Please control this debate.

There is always the question of experience, but there comes a time when it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks.  It seems to me that Sen. Obama is thinking out of the box and has fresh new ideas while Sen McCain has the same stale ideas with a "new" twist.  26 yrs of following the same old rules, the same old policies and the same ole politics isn't change!!! And it's not easy to change habits that have been formed over 30 days, so how can habits that have been formed for 26 yrs be chnages easily?

McCain's hero being President Roosevelt is the biggest joke I've ever heard, Roosevelt was universally hated by all Republican's as a tax and spend liberal.  The same charge McCain levels at Obama.

McCain is a war monger, and Obama didn't say he would attack Pakistan, I am sure there will

be diplomatic talks before anything is done in the way of war.  Afterall it was 'GW Bush/Cheney, who proposed the war in Iraq, because there was suppose to  be weapons of mass destruction.  We never should have been in Iraq period, and McSame proposes weontinue to stay there until the end of time, he's losing his mind and is senile.    Vote Democratic.

I can't believe people still support McCain, I really can't understand that.

What was with that creepy McCain "Thank you" interrupting Obama?

I can't BELIEVE that McCain said Obama just announced that he is going to attack Pakistan!  WHO and WHAT are these voices he's listening to??

What is this the obama show.  He is speaking longer than he is supposed to and is getting away with it.  He is just talking in circles.  He keeps repeating himself.  McCain is to the point.  McCain is definitely winning.  MNBC people are just biased agains republicans and would not admit that McCain is doing very well. 

McCain has done nothing for Arizona - What makes you think that he will do anything for this country? I have been an Arizonan since McCain has been in office - Thank GOD we have a wonderful Governor!

Listen to him – he is rude and condescending. He is behaving the same way as his running mate did on Thursday! I sure do not want him President and I especially don’t think his Gun – toting Hockey Bulldog Momma of a running mate to be in that seat either!!!

Palin - Really? I am a teacher who teaches my 4th graders what the "Role of a VP is" and she couldn't even answer that. (Thurs)

This election is the MOST important change this country NEEDS! WHAT WAR??? We are in Jihad and don’t even know it! My family and husband are all military – they need to come home – TIMELINE!!! Who are we really trying to BEAT?

McCain needs to stop running on the "I was a POW" ticket. My family and my husband is in the military - Live in the past, or look for change! We NEED a timeline for Iraq! We are NOT in Jihad! These people have already been liberated - what are we trying "to win"?

Tom Brokaw - BACK OFF!  You are being SO rude to Obama. YOU ARE BEING UNPROFESSIONAL!!!

McCain is not being honest with his responses.  He will not admit that he plans to cut Medicare.  He even referred to Senator Obama as "...that one over there...".  He has lost respect for the debates overall and his campaign has gone so far south that I am embarrassed to say that he was apart of the military family (in which I am).  Do not mistake the previous statement, I am very pleased that he served our country and I regret that he was prisoner of War however his behavior in this campaign is not Honorable and not what we need in the White House.  I love this country (and I am sure McCain does as well) however McCain is too focused on winning BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY and not focused enough on the grass roots of America.  Senator Obama has defended himself against Senator McCain's attacks fairly well.  The McCain-Palin ticket gives very little or not enough details on how they plan to address economic issues.   Senator McCain's record has been diluted so much that he does not know were he stands and frankly neither does his running mate Governor Palin.  Americans want plans that can be executed not simply talked about and not just "reaching over the aisle".  We want someone who can be clear about the policies and not reach at the bottom of the barrel to try to get ahead.  I had hope this election would bring about new and creative ideas from all parties however only one is campaign has remain positive and discusses real issues and ideas to resolve the issues impacting American - that is the Obama-Biden ticket.
