McCain closed strong last night, the mock on sitting across from Ahkmadinijad (sp??) was fantastic, as was the “strategy” vs “tactic” smackdown. The words dangerous, naive and wrong were used over and over again to describe Obama’s foreign policy outlook, and it just might stick.

The problem is viewership wanes after 30 minutes or so, so if that is all you saw you thought Obama won the debate.

Joe, he should have been all over this.

I new the outcome would depend on which Obama showed up. The Obama who can on occasion be articulate without his teleprompter or the the fumbling fool who is the biggest non-stop gaffe machine since well Dan Quale. Fortunately for democrats, the former showed up.

I’ll stop short of saying Obama looked presidential, but he did look better than I’ve seen him look in the past. The focus group study that Fox aired after the debate meant nothing to me. The same researcher did a focus group after the Palin acceptance speech and concluded that Palin didn’t do well.

There is a strong tendency to say PC things when a camera is shoved in your face on national television. A truly poor way to conduct a focus group study.

As for the Palin / Biden debate coming up, I expect that Palin might surprise some people despite the fact that Obama’s Home Network CNN is predicting that Palin’s performance in the Couric interview is a clear indication that Biden will destroy her.

I’d advise Biden to stay away from any attempt to discuss the great depression. He doesn’t do well with History.

What Debate where these people watching?
