McCain is one pissed-off dude!
This debate made me an even stronger supporter of Obama and more sure that McCain is wrong for the job.

It came down do temperament. Obama came across as steady, presidential and thoughtful at just about every point during the debate. While McCain is knowledgeable, he also was irritated, sometimes sarcastic and often angry during the debate.

Why does this matter? It matters because we need to know that the president will maintain a cool head and will be open to listening to dissenting ideas -- especially during a crisis. Would McCain do that? Would his staff feel comfortable confronting him, given his tendency to display flashes of anger? Based on my experience with the dynamics of groups I have worked with, I doubt we'd hear much sober, frank debate in a McCain White House.

1. Every time I see/hear Obama speak...
I have more and more confidence in him.

Everyone keep working hard. November is still a long way off!

3. Ah, McCain isn't knowledgable

He is a BSer. Scripted. Incompetent or senile. He is a classic example of someone that will say and do whatever his trainers tell him.

Edit: Sorry lucky, didn't mean to dis you on your respectful remark that McCain is knowledgeable. I am just terribly prejudice against a liar. If he is ever sincere I would not know it.
