Couple brief comments about tonight’s debate:
- I was happy that it played out more (slightly) like an actual debate, albiet hilarious to watch them shoot back and forth, beg for more time, get denied, then sneak their rebuttal into the next question when it wasn’t even relevant
- I still have a hard time putting their responses through the “stump speach” filter…it’s not very fun to watch generic republican A battle generic democrat B but I’m trying…
- I was impressed with both candidates tonight and a little depressed with both. McCain seemed more controlled and had some very quality responses, but had plenty of poor ones that were little more than some rhetoric and repetition. Obama is always well spoken but seemed to lack depth and never really convinced me of his capabilities, although he had some inspiring reponses.
- I look forward to seeing all the crazy SNL skits that shall arise from this one, as they’ve been twice as fun and nearly as informative as many of these.
- Hopefully we can see more true “debate” filled debates as they lock up in the future.

Unfortunately, Obama supports Roe v. Wade and abortion, so in the end, none of the other issues come into play. Proverbs 14:34.
I do think McCain won from the perspective of debate since he actually did give some specific answers and didn’t seem to lose his temper/cool during the debate.

Yep. I hate our party system. I wish that people could make individual decisions about those type of things instead of some partisan decision. Why can’t our country elect someone, for instance, that supports national health care and yet opposes abortion? Does no one exist on this planet that has those 2 opinions? Kind of a shame.

Yeah, our choices are poor indeed. It is tiresome. When will Jesus come and reign as King? Divine healthcare with no abortions and a just and quick legal system.
