I agree with you 100%-also it is all over the news today about mccain not even being in "The Cone of Silence" like the pastor said he was-so the question thus is was this a fair forum-But that being said mccain was very good at telling us anecdotes,but what I learned the most about mccain was he is to hard set in certain opinions,we live in such a fast changing world today and to have a president with such a closed mind is not a person in my opinion fit to run this country.Case in point,we have a current president that had a stubborn mind set that we were going to war,and such a stubborn mind-set that he had intelligence reports doctored to support his actions.And mccain has that same stubborn mind-set-Not a good thing at all,

That is pure garbage. McCain knows what his plans are and Obama is still hiding Obama.

I think he is referring to a sequential appearance at a 22,000 member church. First Obama and then McSame spoke.

They gave Obama decent applause as he shared his beliefs and his vision for the future. They went crazy for McSame as he told of his experiences as a prisoner of the North Vietnamese.

I don't think the fact the huge audience was 100% white could have had anything to do with the difference in reception. I think it is just that this crowd was really hot for war stories?!?

Of course McSame know what his plans are. He is simply going to continue Bushes and Cheney's plans. We'll have more wars, more incompetents put in charge of federal agencies. More difficulty getting information we should have and they'll have an easier time getting information they shouldn't have.

It is still not a debate. A debate is an exchage of ideas between two parties. This was two people being interviewed. Debate 101
