I hate to say it, but McCain is kicking Obama's ass right now.

[Drunken Irishman]

Obama is playing safe and McCain is throwing the ball down field, connecting with receivers and marching down field.

Get your fucking act together, Obama. :eyes:

[mvd]

1. Nah, McSame's just lying at a mile a minute

Obama wins by being composed and picking his attacks.

[gabby garcia]

2. WTF????

[blonndee]

3. Oh come on. McCan't looks like a whining loser. Hardly a leader or someone confident.

[SeattleGirl]

4. No he's not. He's avoiding answering the question, like he

always does.

[wildeyed]

McCain is doing better than the last two.

But I don't know that he is kicking ass. I think our expectations are just really low.

[oviedodem]

32. He "Seems" to be doing well because he is attacking very very childishly

[progressivebydesign]

5. Gee you posted this into the other thread and no one noticed so you had to make your own thread?

You're watching someone else's debate.. cuz none of us are seeing what you see.

[Drunken Irishman]

Yeah, well, what I see is Obama stuttering around and avoiding questions.

He looked sharp at the beginning, but ever since they started debating taxes, he's been slowed and he looks bad.

[bigwillq]

6. Naw..McCain is just being arrogant

and sleazy, and smug..that's the only way he knows how to be.

[HughMoran]

7. You're smoking dope

lol

[KingFlorez]

8. No, he is not

What a silly thing to say.

[RayOfHope]

9. No he isn't. He's being a forceful dick, which may look like winning, but he's got ZERO substance n/

[Cosmic Charlie]

why don't you just piss yourself and get it over with.

[woolldog]

10. why do you think so DI?

[Drunken Irishman]

25. Obama just looks like he's playing it safe.

It's not that Obama is bombing, it's just McCain has taken it up a level and Obama hasn't.

[Maven]

11. I disagree.

McCain's doing better than he has done, but he hasn't had any knockout punches.

[gypsylud]

12. I'm sorry I agree

Mcsame's #' on cnn are high.

[gypsylud]

31. BUT HE'S TURNING IT AROUND!

[Lex]

13. LOL---riiiiight.

[Doityourself]

14. Don't believe the hype

[LooseWilly]

15. McCain is just staying on message for a change.

His message is still bad... he just seems more coherent for staying on point.

[thevoiceofreason]

16. I often like your posts.

You are way off in left field about this. Obama is staying within himself and kicking his ass, waiting on his pitch and hitting it deep.

And stop interrupting me, you silly old man.

[intheflow]

17. Looks that way on the CNN graph thingee.

McCain is consistently rating higher and longer sustain. Obama is flatlining talking about McCain's supporters calling him a terrorist. :wtf:

[Blasphemer]

18. I disagree... McCain looks like he is about to blow while Obama is calm, cool and collected nt

[vaberella]

34. I agree with you...but at the same time Obama can make him even more flustered.

Because McCain is being rough shod.

[Top Cat]

19. I disagree McCain looks desperate

[OKNancy]

20. He's doing fine. My husband is not a DUer and

I trust him as a neutral observer. He said, "Obama is being smart"

[Shanti Mama]

21. Obama is being presidentail, McCain is fighting

McCain is being a bully, taking too much time not playing fair. But all's fair in love and politics.

[nc4bo]

22. I really gotta turn off CNN and that stupid Ohio voter graph. nt

[bridgit]

23. It's just the 'joe the plumber' effect

[Erin Elizabeth]

24. Really?

McCain is acting like a whiny defensive brat. He's either going "Oh yeah? Well Obama does THIS and Obama does THAT!" or he's claiming he can do anything and everything. Or he's whining and bitching.

[vaberella]

26. I agree with you. Obama can really tear this guy apart, and he's playing way too calm.

I understand his point, but these idiots don't.

[Drunken Irishman]

33. I don't want him to tear him apart.

He doesn't need to tear him apart.

However, it seems his answers are delayed by stumbling and it comes off badly.

Obama wasn't doing this in the first and second debate.

[vaberella]

I see that as well. n/t

[truebrit71]

27. Which debate are you watching? The one I'm seeing has a desperate old man getting his ass kicked...

...

[JackBeck]

28. Fail.

Obama just raised the bar with the Palin rally.

[msallied]

29. I think this is the first time I have ever disagreed you. LOL

[Doremus]

30. Don't you say that during every debate? Yeah, thought so.

[Drunken Irishman]

35. No, not at all.

In fact, midway through the last debate I said Obama was kicking McCain's ass.

And he was.

But right now, McCain is kicking Obama's ass.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

36. no McCain is not performing well

[Drunken Irishman]

37. Well we'll see. We'll see what the voters think.

[LooseWilly]

38. Now he's just sounding petulant...

Waah, Obama's being mean to me...

No, I'm not negative, he is...

Nevermind facts or the opinions expressed in the polls... reality is what I say it is...

[Drunken Irishman]

39. I'll agree, McCain is looking less effective now.

[Raine]

40. Too much time is being wasted on shit! Shieffer has lost

control of the debate, he's piss poor! x(

[docscott]

41. Lets wait and see

I hope that Obama isn't over confident about the election. He needs to stay focused and let Mcain burn out.
