I saw it as pretty much a draw....which means tie goes to Obama.
Texted poll - - the number was on the Fox New screen after the debate.

I wonder what it would take for the Fox News viewers to text that Obama had won.

Maybe if McCain had soiled himself or fallen asleep...anything short of that, no way.

I think that is a very inappropirate comment.

That's a very good point. Short of McCain not showing up, Faux News viewers would have declared it a win for McCain.

Re: The big debate

If BO is going to dialogue like this with enemy heads of state, America is doomed.

Wait a minute...if BO gets in we won't have any enemies...his government will cow down to any aggressor that wants a piece, while hollywood entertains America into oblivion.

Sort of off subject here but I just read this article about BO's Empty Premises

I'm terrified at the thought of Obama getting in, just for this!!!!
We can kiss America good-bye. Obama just doesn't get-it.
What was this sparring over what Kissinger said and McCain's answer?

Barack Obama said that even Henry Kissinger agreed with Obama that on a presidential level a diplomatic meeting with as rogue a leader as Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a good idea.

McCain immediately said that this was not true.


"Senator McCain is right. I would not recommend the next President of the United States engage in talks with Iran at the Presidential level. My views on this issue are entirely compatible with the views of my friend Senator John McCain. We do not agree on everything, but we do agree that any negotiations with Iran must be geared to reality." - Kissinger

Re: The big debate

Personally, I don't have a problem with a candidate saying that they agree with a specific point that an opponent has made if indeed they do agree. The partisan thought that everything that comes out of another person's mouth has to be disagreed with is absurd and usually comes across as disengenuous. I have seen politicians fighting against a true statement just because it came out of the other party's mouth for long enough. If all Obama said all night was "I agree" then I would wonder what the point of the debate was. However, if you are big enough and honest enough to say "Hey I agree with this point, but where we diverge is ______" then more power to you and you will not sound like a partisan talking head.
