McLame got the last word. I swear McLame got to say more after the initial first two minutes were met. Obama would try to add something but McA-H- would keep talking. Does anyone else see it that way? I think they called it equal time because the first two minutes were given. I don't think they counted the rest of the time. Has any organization done the counting yet?

2. Yes, it seemed that way to me , also
Like Obama always had to answer a new question first giving McCain time to think and McCain always seemed to get the last word.

4. Why? Let McBush drone on and on. He's only hurting himself.

Does America really want to hear Grumpy drone on for the next 4 years?

5. I only got to watch the last 45 min. or so
but yes, I did notice that, which is the reason I got so pissed.
I am so sick of the repugs lack of intelligence and extra belligerence.
I am sick of them playing like children, not even children, more like amoebas. They are/have been making a mockery of this country and it's citizens. I actually been posting more last night and today than I ever have, I'm extremely shy, arrgh, I can't help it!
I donated more money last night, than I have since the primaries combined.

he lost control in the first 2 minutes. I thought the format was lousy as well.
