Debate Blogging

Okay so it's debate number two:

On the economy: Both have seemed respectable to the average viewer.... Obama is speaking well without a teleprompter. This is bad for McCain.

McCain criticism on Fannie & Freddie is good, but he didn't follow up with it much. However, he hasn't really differentiated him as much as he should.

McCain should mention that the existing tax cuts expire.

McCain is sounding smarter on national security as always, but Obama's got enough talking points at the tip of his tongue to seem credible.


Overall? Dead draw unfortunately. McCain didn't attack and differniate himself enough. Obama didn't implode. A draw benefits the party in front, which is currently Obama.



Final thought: I hate when they talk to the synchophats afterwards.
