mccain had everything written in a piece of a paper AND of course he had putting a lot of thought ,inspiration and dedication into his "MARTERSPIECE" and therefore he had a little bit better deliverance and stunt ..if obama had done the same mccain wouldn't be able to clap on his hands at all!

This isn't a debate. It's a dinner. McCain's jokes were more crude, but had a better delivery. Obama's jokes were wittier, but he stumbled on them as he often does in his speeches. It is was a tie. 52% of the vote is an impressive victory considering this is higher than both of Bush's victories in 2000 and 2004. He also beats Reagan's 1980 electoral victory.

That is false. If he won or lost, I would still admire McCain. I would not have voted for him in 2000 or 2008, but I still respect him a great deal. I'm a proud liberal and a proud Canadian.
