In all fairness, I think McCain did remarkably well last night... [View All]

especially considering the fact that he's wrong on all the major issues and is advocating a foreign policy that has already been flat out rejected by the entire public and is too much of a chickenshit to look Barack in the eye or even shake hands with Michelle as a common courtesy after the debate.

(Cindy didn't have a problem being gracious, I notice. Maybe the Republicans nominated the wrong McCain.)

Anyway, the only poll on debate performance that I've seen validates my conclusion that McCain proved himself the better debater. MSNBC showed a post debate poll in which 39% said Obama won, 37% said it was a tie, and 24% said McCain won. On paper that might look like a victory for Obama, what with foreign policy supposing to be McCain's "strong suit" and all.

But when you factor in the context that Obama was advocating a common sense foreign policy rooted in the fundamentals of 230 years of American bipartisan policy and the values that America has always stood for--while the policy McCain was arguing for was just plain old batshit nonsense--the fact that 24% of people thought McCain won is clearly a rebuff.
