Default Gallup: Obama Wins Second Debate - Obama 56%, McCain 23%

"Americans who watched Tuesday night’s town hall debate say Barack Obama (56%) did a better job than John McCain (23%). About one in three viewers say their opinion of Obama is more favorable because of the debate, while one in three say their opinion of McCain is less favorable."

http://www.gallup.com/poll/111058/Ob...al-Debate.aspx


Whoops!

Should McCain suspend his campaign FOR REAL now and send Palin to the third and final debate?

Quote:
... Obama's likeability is good for him and bad for McCain, of course, but it also undercuts McCain's credibility. It exposes the picture McCain has been painting of Obama in the last few days as a caricature. Since McCain's slide in the polls, he has started personal attacks questioning Obama's character and values. "Who is the real Barack Obama?" McCain asks on the stump and in his ads. Sarah Palin says Obama isn't from "regular" America. He's out of the mainstream, aides regularly say. ...
The optics of the town hall were also dreadful, which hurt McCain. His war injuries meant he couldn't take the relaxed pose Obama held while McCain was giving his answers. The Obama campaign studied the tape of the first debate and recognized that the candidate is often caught in a two shot and so must always look relaxed and attentive. While Obama talked, McCain took an occasional walkabout. This was disconcerting. It looked like he was getting up to get a beer.
There is already a lot of talk in the blogosphere about McCain's referring to Obama as "that one." The Obama campaign was pushing the idea that it was proof McCain was a man of bitter moods. I didn't see it as a major act of disrespect, but it did feel antiquated. I have relatives—older relatives—who use this expression. My mother's version of it was to call someone "himself." (As in, "I'm glad himself has decided to join us for dinner.") McCain has 27 days to find a better way to take on his opponent, or he'll be calling him Mr. President.

that was a good read. mKKKain did not do enough to slow down team Obama

nah, first debate was on foreign policy - the final should also be domestic-related issues

It's incredible that McCain lost the first one being that it was foreign policy. If third is on domestic issues, he might as well answer the first question with, "I'd like to thank the academy. And now, for my next trick," drop the microphone, put a ring on his finger and disappear completely.

You took your funny pills tonight.

He was supposed to win the town hall, too. It would be ironic if he won the one ONLY about the economy, though.

I highly doubt that, he is going to have some hair brain scheme thought up like his housing plan (or wait that was Sen Clintons Plan) Im sure he will pull some other measure he heard around the Senate and slap his name on it...
