[FrenchieCat]

Fuck 'em all!

[seabeyond]

1. i heard from cnn and msnbc adn sounds like they are calling a draw. saying

mccain needed a win on hos territory adn he didnt. obama held his own. not seeing media the enemy yet. we are going both cnn and msnbc

[FrenchieCat]

3. We know.

But folks here are saying otherwise.....saying that Democrats will lose, yada, yada.....

[seabeyond]

11. uhhh. well they are full of shit. i think the up is most people were impressed he

helled so well on foriegn policy.

gotcha

[LiberalFighter]

28. Consider who MSNBC had in their group

Pat Buchanan
Andrea Mitchell
Dick Gregory
Norah what's her name

The only one that might be considered liberal would be Eugene Robinson.

[Joe the Revelator]

2. Or we could have a real discussion and not live in an echo chamber

your choice.

[Egnever]

40. you know frenchie better than that by now

shame on you.

[Ichingcarpenter]

4. Don't worry....... just the typical high posters

that pull shit.

[holiday]

5. Let's focus on the zingers Obama got in, he got in some good ones!!!

then you will forget about the crap that is going around

[firedupdem]

6. They have no real substance to back up their position...just

spouting off bullshit. Obama was even keeled...and able to look that fucker in the eye. McCain is a big liar. Informed voters know that Obama won the debate. I'm glad my future president is not a big liar.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. The trolls just dangle a line. They are incapable of making a cogent line of argument.

[parasim]

8. Obama won as far as I'm concerned.

I don't know what the fuck anybody is thinking if they think it was some sort of tie or even to say that McCain won. Fuck! I really gotta quit going on these messageboards and watching the fucking stupid television idiots. I just watched this damn thing without any other commentary, just the debate, and I can't imagine for the life of me, how anybody could possible think that McCain won. It wasn't even close!

[billyoc]

9. Well, there ARE a lot of Democrats here.

:rofl:

[redstate_democrat]

10. OBAMA BLEW MCCAIN OFF THE FUCKING STAGE

WE HAVE SOME FREEPERS RAIDING THIS BOARD RIGHT NOW TO DEMORALIZE PEOPLE. IT IS OBVIOUS. THAT'S WHY HE AND MICHELLE WERE GRINNING EAR TO EAR AFTERWARDS.

[Captain Lance Bass]

12. Obama was a nice guy--Mccain was presedential

if election was tommorow Mccain wins

you kids dont get it

it does not matter who tells the truth, means well or is a better person.

its about presentation

and when our guy shows up and keeps saying to Mccant

"johns right"

wait till the RNC commercial comes out Saturday

Obama did the rookie mistake and took the bait

flame away children

but this ain't my first political rodeo

seen quite a few

[Cosmic Charlie]

14. thanks for the input, Old Man.

You might want to learn how to spell 'Presidential' before trolling these waters

[Symarip]

16. Pssst....

FUCK OFF.

[vaberella]

18. I don't agree with you. Obama would say it's right on certain topics and fundmentally disagree

on others. Plus Obama managed to also define his differences and where McCain was slow to pick up. Obama is really balancing the ball. McCain was like an annoying chihuahua (sp?).

[Cha]

22. mccain is a fucking retarded asshole so don't

try putting lipstick on that and calling it presidential.


Loser.

[still_one]

24. When the polls come out on monday, not your first political rodeo

your horse will buck your opinion off

[FVZA_Colonel]

34. Obama may have been "too nice," but McCain was NOT presidential.

He was a damn child.

[crickets]

36. Contempt is presidential? Alrighty then. -nt

[Michigan-Arizona]

37. McSame has no balls!

He was not even man enough to look Obama in the eye or for that matter he didn't look his way, he looked like a brow beaten little boy. Was McSame wearing a wire & getting his answer's piped in from Palin? He must not have watched her interview with Palin & Couric! You wouldn't happen to have an address from just 1 person in Arizona that has a yard sign on display for him would you? I ask this because I live in Arizona & have yet to see one.

[vaberella]

13. Look, I have to say I wasn't too impressed by Obama's performance...

That's not to say McCain was some star. McCain was crap, my main issue was the fact that Obama did not take enough swipes at McCain that were easy leads and open doors to really put him in his place. I do think Obama did masterfully just not the course I would have expected (hoped) from him which was a bit more aggressive in approach.

McCain was a slew of buffoonary, strayed off topic continously and Obama had to bring it back...I was just expecting a tad bit more.

I also think this was Obama feeling out McCain and not really on the top offensive that he could be. We know Obama could get really hard hitting with the truth...he just didn't use so much. Maybe he didn't want to humiliate McCain as much as he's managed to humiliate himself.

15. You must watch ball games alone.

[FrenchieCat]

21. Well, I wouldn't watch one with your ass!

[rug]

23. Thank God for small favors.

[FrenchieCat]

27. Any favor to you is not good for Democrats.

17. WE ALL KNOW HE WON!!!!

MCCAIN DID NOT!!!!

[Avalux]

19. Obama kicked McCain's ass. I watched it and that's my assessment.

McCain is a nasty, snarly, condescending old man who rambles on about what he did in the past. Idiot.

Obama knows his shit and was presidential.

[merh]

20. Hell, the pundits I've listened to give it to Obama

ABC's George Will said that Obama belonged on the stage and that is what he needed to do tonight, to prove that he belonged where he is. He likened it to Reagan's first debate and Will put Obama over McCain because of the presence Obama had tonight, that he belonged.

[Cha]

26. I'm getting the idea that George Will

hates mccain even more after tonight and Obama's looking better and better to the conservative journalist.

[merh]

33. I agree

For Will to liken Obama's performance to Reagan - I mean that is "the politician" to Will.

I'm not sure many folks like McCain.

[Drunken Irishman]

25. The media is pretty much saying Obama won.

Yes, some aren't, but as a whole, it's been very pro-Obama.

[FrenchieCat]

35. Cause they can't deny it!

They would look foolish.

They tried, and then I called them. Here's the numbers! http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x7199815

[FatDave]

44. Yup. It took awhile for the consensus to form, but it did.

And pretty much all channels (and even Dick Morris on Fox) are calling it a win for Barack.

[RoyGBiv]

29. You said it, Frenchie n/t

[krawhitham]

30. Obama won, but the last 10 minutes hurt

[Supersedeas]

31. Karl Rove's backup dancer is dancing for McRove on MSNBC

[TNMOM]

32. This was no contest. Obama won hands down

Years from now, they are going to look at clips from this debate and note it as one of the death knells for conservatism. It was young vs. old. It was diversity vs. white guy. It was future vs. past; regulation vs. deregulation; diplomacy vs. "my way or the highway." The differences were stark.

In the end, both candidates implied in their own way that Bush was wrong. In McCain's case, that was the same as saying he himself was wrong because he voted with Bush all those years.

On all levels -- superficial (soundbite/verbal jabs/presence/demeanor) and substantive (economy, foreign affairs) -- Obama proved he is more thoughtful and more deliberate in his calculations/assessments than McCain.

McCain look bitter, condescending and petty. Obama was cool, irreverent and artful in his verbal jabs.
There was no contest tonight. Obama won by a landslide.

[FrenchieCat]

39. Yep!

[rufus dog]

38. Because some Democrats

Are big old fucking wussies!

Look, McLame rambled and looked like a pissed off old crazy uncle.

None of us were going to be influenced by anything McCain said, nor will a great many Repukes care what Obama said. But for those straddling the line they witnessed a grumpy mean old fuck who was treated with respect by the younger guy. And Obama more than held his own with McCain, so every time the grumpy old fuck said Obama doesn't get it, Joe Sixpack saw a guy real off facts!

McCain can't overcome that and when the fact checking is complete it will substantiate Joe's initial opinion.

Opening round to Obama.

And one final thing, the momentum and excitement is behind Obama so the late deciders will be inclined to go with the winner.

[RagAss]

42. AMEN Frenchie !!!!

[chill_wind]

43. Obama was excellent. There are probably a whole lot fewer undecideds tonite.

eom
