Help! How's the debate going????

[CoffeeCat]

I've got a slumber party going on in my house--my daughter's 8-year-old friends, so
I have been unable to watch consistently or log onto DU.

I'm sorry to be a pest, but I'm dying over here! How is it going???

1. I think Obama is doing well, looks presidential and strong.

[baldguy]

2. Obama is making sense; McCain is lying.

What do you expect?

3. I think Obama is doing very well

and that McCain suffers from low self-esteem. He's always saying "I did this, I did that,blah,blah,blah."
Nothing of substance, very repetitions and condescending.

4. I'm scared

I think McCain has been pretty effective with all the usual talking points and Obama not so much, seems defensive, stuttery, unemotive. Obama keeps having to defend himself when he should be on the attack.

[cui bono]

5. Not well enough. They are letting Mccain spew his talking points

for way too long.

But he has had some great - as in looking like he's about to crack - moments. When Obama called him on some bullshit his facial expressions were classic.

6. Alex Castellanos (R) has Obama at 9 plus points and McCain at 3 plus points

Donna Brazile has Obama at 5 plus points, McNasty at 1 pt.

Gloria Borger has Obama at 5 plus polints, and McCain at minus 3

SO FAR SO GOOD!

10. Thank you everyone!!!

I'll try to check back on this thread, and look for other posts!

I'm trying to sneak in some peeks at the debate, but I'm competing
with an army of young girls who want to watch Hannah Montana!

Thanks again for the updates! Great to hear that O is doing well.
