As we said, “Debate winners are in the eye of the beholder”.

If the beholder is an individual, so be it.

If the beholder is masquerading as a “news” outlet, that’s altogether different.

Thanks to everyone for your stopping by and commenting.

McCain / Palin are a ship called Titantic. These two do not require MSM editorials to shape voters declining opinions, the raw video of them speaking is enough. Does anybody in America really identify with either of these two? Sad is that anyone would have selected Palin as a choice for change and sadder still is that a truely respected American servent is going down in this manner. Hopefully this means American’s arent as moronic as MSM likes to believe…and are actually checking facts and watching for truths themselves>

Obama has spent “spent 45%, or 602 of (his) days (in the US Senate), campaigning for president. Obama has authored no major legislation. Heâ€™s been in one presidential debate,” and he WON the debate? Defeating a seasoned Senate veteran with over 20 years of experience? Wow, McCain must suck!

And what is the relevance of “Rewind four years…”? So Kerry beat Bush in their debates, and Al Gore beat Bush in the debate before that. We have seen from 8 years of Bush that intelligence, competence and eloquence have nothing to do with winning presidential races (but they do seem to have a direct correlation with governing effectively, thanks GW for so profoundly proving that by providing the opposite of intelligence and effective governance). So McCain should be excited about losing last night,! It may be a good sign for his campaign, and maybe he can hold off on any more shamelessly desperate political measures like choosing Palin or suspending his campaign to “put America first.”

PT, you forget that the job of the media isn’t to place the winner, its to inform the voters.

So the pundits and MSM declared that Kerry was the winner…and Bush was elected anyway. In hindsight, more voters should have listened to the pundits. Instead, we got another four years of a “high functioning moron”.

Let me tell you what I saw last night: McCain was a crotchety old geezer talking to the people in the room. Obama was a confident and determined leader having a conversation with America. And it seems that the undecideds and independents–the people Obama needed to speak to, if by today’s polls are any indication, went heavily for Obama.

Case in point, my cousin in Florida, who last week was “iffy” about Obama. She called me first thing this morning and couldn’t stop enthusing about Obama and that “mean and angry” McCain.

What did the other networks do with their camera coverage?

What did we really expect. I watched C-Span just to get, I think, the best coverage (I don’t really listen too much to the commentary). One thing I noticed is that they did a lot of shots of the podium from stage right (viewer’s left) showing McCain in the foreground left, and Nobama background right. He was there running his hands, “uh, I, er, I,” trying to get a word in.

McCain did win the debate in my estimation, tho Obama was better than I thought he would be.

You, you mean that the trustworthy MSM would be *gasp* biased?!
I don’t believe you I’m going to bury my head in the sand now
