Well, that was probably the most interesting debate of the three. We actually got opinions and specifics about these candidates. It was also the most debate like with them going back and forth with real criticisms. McCain came out strong, punching. He was aggressive on many of the topics and seemed to really be winning the debate. But around half way through, I feel he lost his momentum. After wards, he seemed to be less focused and more of the same from what we've seen. This was supposed to be some of his weaker material, so it's good to see he rose to the occasion for once. He missed a few more question to the end. Obama came out very similar to how he came out for the previous debates. Very cool and collected and calmly answering the questions. At first this seemed to not be enough for the aggressive McCain in the beginning, but by the end, I feel he was dominating in the same way he was in the previous debates. Overall, I kinda think it was a tie. Each had their strong portions of the debate and parts they did better at. I suppose if I had to choose, it would be Obama, since he had a greater lasting impression about the issues that affect me. I think McCain did a good job for once, but I think it's too little, too late for his campaign. He's behind by large margins in both popular vote (10%) and in electoral votes (~200EV). This will not be a game changer and looks like Obama will continue to carry his healthy lead. We'll see if anything drastic happens over the next ~19 days.
Whatever you say about the candidates, one thing isn't up for debate... McCain BE OLD
Oh Jelly Donut, how you capture the truth and put it into a really good rap.
