On Debates
Sep. 27th, 2008 01:32 amFirst of all: US Presidential debates aren't really debates.
But this one was close. It was SO DAMN GOOD to hear them talk about issues. The last two sets with Bush were all fluff.
Obama totally "won" it too. He was clear, he called McCain on bullshit, and got in some great jabs while making fact filed points.
McCain trotted out the same lines in his druggy monotone that he always does. He didn't seem awful, but he didn't seem competant.
God it was refreshing to hear some political leaders in this country talk about ISSUES, and at least one of them to talk about them cleverly.
There may actually be hope...
