My Thoughts On The Debate

I already know who I'm voting for, but I tried to look at the debate as an undecided voter.

I believe the first three questions about the financial mess were a tie. The rest of the debate, which focused on foreign policy, I think McCain easily won. He had Obama on the defensive the whole night. McCain saved the best for last and had a slam dunk. His comments about his experience, qualifications, and Obama needing on-the-job training really nailed it.

*Watching Fox News contributor Juan Williams take on it, big surprise he thinks Obama took it. I was waiting for Brit Hume to make him his bitch again.

I don't think any debate will have any affect on those who have already picked their candidate. It's geared towards the undecided and those who mildly support either candidate.

Newsbusters has already called out Obama for misrepresenting Kissinger's statement about meeting unfriendly nations.

Henry Kissinger believes Barack Obama misstated his views on diplomacy with US adversaries and is not happy about being mischaracterized. He says: "Senator McCain is right. I would not recommend the next President of the United States engage in talks with Iran at the Presidential level. My views on this issue are entirely compatible with the views of my friend Senator John McCain. We do not agree on everything, but we do agree that any negotiations with Iran must be geared to reality."

I'm sure there will many more tomorrow. Fact Check doesn't have anything up yet because of technical difficulties.
