Presidential Debate #3: 9 PM ET, 10/15/08

[shetuck]

What an interesting exercise it would be to go and list the topics and issues that the candidates talked about in presidential debates in the last decade or two and then look at the topics and issues that landed on the Presidents' agenda after taking office...

There would be very few, if any, parallels.

That's the part of this whole business that makes it so laughable for me. Funny that just as I'm typing this Obama talks about people becoming cynical about politics... if either one of these guys thinks they'll stand even a scant chance at implementing these plans and their agenda, they're deluded.

More like a debate and less like a town freaking meeting.

Surprisingly, Scheiffer is doing a good job. Like the running mate question.

a town meeting, a real town meeting would have shouting and hollering.



so when obama is "caught" he smiles mccain puts a farting facing on.

There you go. ACORN and Ayers...and Obama answers it, HONESTLY AND TRUTHFULLY...and yet McCain still attacks him on it. I can't imagine that Obama could have responded about this Ayers adn ACORN stuff any better. McCain's attempt to attach Obama to Ayers and ACORN there just pretty much failed.

[BuckyBalls]

My wife speaks, McCain sides with Bush. Down with McCain

[billmac91]

I don't think this attack worked very well for John....

He tried to bait Obama into it when he was talking about political ads, hoping Obama would lead into the Ayers accusations but Obama stayed away.

McCain had to bring it up and it looks awful he brought it up.

Obama did a decent job explaining the relationship.
