So who won tonight's debate....?

[Mr. Peabody]

We could probably do this right now and get the same responses we'll get tomorrow, so why wait?

"My wife is common street trash."

"My wife is common street trash."

Nice catch on the reference.

McCain's campaign already said he won, and the bailout situation has been resolved because he wouldn't leave Washington until it was.

[Mr. Peabody]

McCain wins just by being there.

He wasn't expected to even show up, so how high can expectations really be for him?

It's like when you hear a rumor that Santana may cancel the concert you have tickets for, but then he doesn't and no matter how he played, you're happy he didn't cancel.

fox says obama's gonna get creamed tonight. interesting they said "creamed".

[romad_20]

Is this at a table where they sit close to one another or podium? I think McCain might punch Obama if they are close, he looked super pissed at the Whitehouse meeting.

I think the crowd will boo McCain a couple of times and Obama will keep saying the same stuff he's been saying. Nothing ground breaking.

I expect both to hit home runs.

They are standing at podiums that are about 10-15 feet apart.

I'm wondering whether they have a deal in place to account for the height discrepancy between the two. During the Bush-Kerry debates, as part of the debate agreements, the feeds had to make them appear equal size on the split screens.

napoleon syndrome?

[Mr. Peabody]

I thought Lehrer did a good job.

[lebomb]

Obama and it was not close.............

[2Blonde]

I think Obama won because he really talked about changing things tonight and kept on course. McCain, IMO, just gave us more of the same & why he's always thinks he's right b/c he's been around too effin' long.

They both did okay but my vote for the debate goes to Obama.

[Shelly]

I think it was close with a slight edge to McCain

So who won tonight's debate....?

Cleary, the winner tonight was the American people.
























(have I induced mass vomiting yet?)

[baseline bum]

I think McCain won overall, but Obama killed him on Iraq. This election definitely isn't over yet.

[Buddy Holly]

So who won?

Every channel that didn't have debate coverage.

I doubt it. I'm sure this debate got huge ratings. This is one of the most followed elections in the history of this country.

[Shastafarian]

I was right. I voted for Lehrer.

49% vs 37% Obama

[spurster]

Cool poll. I picked all of them. I think they all looked better after than before and may God have mercy on our souls.

How can anyone vote the last choice? This wasn't Bush/Gore by any stretch.

[Mr. Peabody]

How can anyone vote the last choice? This wasn't Bush/Gore by any stretch.

I voted before the debate and didn't want to vote for either candidate before the debate took place. Plus, I thought the last option was kind of funny.

[ElNono]

This Poll needs one more option: "None of the above". I would have voted for that.

[Shelly]

I voted for the last just because I starting zoning out in the end.
