The Second Presidential Debate
Tonight's debate wasn't even close. Sen. Barack Obama ran away with it -- particularly when speaking about the economy and health care. Talking about his mother's death from cancer was very powerful. On nearly every issue, Obama was more substantive, showed more compassion and was more presidential.

In contrast, Sen. John McCain was extremely erratic. Sometimes he was too aggressive (referring to Obama as "that one.") Other times, he just couldn't answer the question (on how he would ask Americans to sacrifice.) And his random attempts at jokes (hair transplants?) were just bad.

Tom Brokaw was terrible as moderator. His fixation with the rules -- particularly when the candidates were not complaining -- was distracting and a disservice to everyone. The format didn't work very well, but Brokaw made it worse.

Other reactions:

Andrew Sullivan: "This was, I think, a mauling: a devastating and possibly electorally fatal debate for McCain... I've watched a lot of debates and participated in many. I love debate and was trained as a boy in the British system to be a debater. I debated dozens of times at Oxofrd. All I can say is that, simply on terms of substance, clarity, empathy, style and authority, this has not just been an Obama victory. It has been a wipe-out. It has been about as big a wipe-out as I can remember in a presidential debate. It reminds me of the 1992 Clinton-Perot-Bush debate. I don't really see how the McCain campaign survives this."

Ezra Klein: "Tonight was supposed to be John McCain's night, but it was the first clear debate win Obama has scored over the course of this campaign -- including the primary. McCain, as it turned out, was badly disadvantaged by the format. This debate was more physical than previous encounters. And McCain, for reasons of age and injuries and height, has a less commanding physical presence than Obama."

Mark Halperin: "McCain spent much of the evening trying to define Obama on his terms, but never broke all the way through."

Marc Ambinder: "CW says that John McCain had a 90 minute window to turn his campaign around - to put into play the McCain Resurgence Strategy, if you will, and if that's the CW threshold, I don't think McCain met it."

Obama is the CLEAR choice for president. He kept his cool ( a president needs a cool head ). He stuck to the ISSUES CONCERNING AMERICAN PEOPLE. McCain's anger and lack of cool was transparent.OBAMA WON THE DEBATE and I hope will surely be the next president of the United States of America!!!

Beatles$FAB, You have to look at the big picture here. While Bill Clinton was in office, America was prosperous. We were in good terms with other countries. Can we both agree on that? The next president in line was Bush. There's only been chaos in his 8 year run. unemployment has sky rocketed and 33% of American citizen dislike Bush. In short, I'm trying to say that Bill was a good man. If Obama becomes a worst president, I applause him because there no way that can happen.

mm so bill clinton was a great prseidant when he gave all the weapon secrets to the chinease??...mmm i dont think soo.

[Angerin757]

Beatles4FAB, have you been watching the same TV I have been? "Go ruin our country" for you info McCain would have KILLED our country. Our country is in an economic crisis thanks to BUSH! OUR country is in a war THANKS TO BUSH! MaCAN'T(Mccain palin) agree with Bush 90% of the time on the same failing economic PLAN. So tell me HOW the hell could McCain be any worst then Obama!!! Oh That's right he can't!

P.S.

That player Bill Clinton was one hell of a president 10 times better then BUSH. :D

[Beatles4FAB]

this is soo fuckng typical. Goo ruin our contry obmama, just like jimmy carter and that player bill clinton. and why would they compare him to martin luther king, he is nothing like him. i strongly disagree with obamas views. hes an ass he thinks its a popularity contest, its not, get ver yourself. and why would he bring up the issue?? its in the past leave it there.

PRESIDENT ELECT OBAMA!

[jaliz2000]

America won ! Americans took back their government! Hope is alive ! The future may be difficult but if americans work together and support this president and his administration , positive change will occur within the U.S. and around the world. WELL DONE and BLESSINGS TO ALL PEOPLE. A unified country is a strong country!
