The only real reaction you're getting? Ummmmm. What? Are you a pollster? Do you have some official position of power we should know about?

well screw you for how that is worded. I missed 3/4 of the debate and the only thing I had to listen to on the way home way cbs/npr/nbc and local radio people reacting and all I heard was this is as even as it gets and the last few questions I heard seemed to be fairly even. Maybe I should have prefaced that I fully support Obama so you wouldn't get mad. I'm sorry I pointed out GAF reaction seemed much different than I was hearing before I came home :p
McCain didn't sway anv vote either way and Obama wins!!!!!

I bet he meant to say,

"Guess which senator voted for it? That one."

I hate McCain, but this is stupid.

Perhaps, but then he fucked up twice by not specifying senators and by not continuing the trend and referring to himself as "this one".

Actually I have not been really interested in this presidential run at all and tonight was the first debate that I have watched. I thought McCain was much more knowledgeable on each subject and he showed much more experience. I will give him my vote for the simple fact that he has first hand experience while Obama seems like some kid battling out of college.

So no, I did not have my mind made up a long time ago.

Yeah, you did, and your post makes that very clear. You're literally regurgitating far-right talking points.

I think the narrative will change tomorrow,

The media is starting to call this election, so we will move on to "How can McCain win this?"

It's weird, you'd think with Obama ahead by these kinds of margins in the polls GAF would be more magnanimous towards McCain supporters or undecided voters, but I guess it's still hard to believe that the election is actually more or less locked up. I for one will continue not believing it until November 5th.

Yeah and from then on it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. As Carville just said, call in the dogs, the hunt's over.

Honestly, I was already hearing some out there saying that before the VP debate.

y'all should be ashamed
As much as my Republican blood boils over some Democrats out there, Obama would (will) make a good president. The only thing these debates have helped me with is coping with that fact, hah.

Yeah, when I was in the hospital, I lied about the broken leg. It was actually a top secret male impregnation test, looks like men everywhere will soon know the joy of childbirth.



but wait didn't you hear about William Ayers?

I hear Obama palled around with him

Isn't he that guy from the band Weather Report?

McCain 'That one' is him trying to lighten things up but he should of joked about the canidate with a slightly better chance to make people's sexiest list. That one.

Seriously, if people can obsess about "there you go again" and "you're no JFK" and 5 o'clock shadows for years, "That one" can stick around just as long. It's just not something you say to someone you respect as a peer, especially in that tone, while pointing.

Not that this is more important than Iraq/Energy/Healthcare, but meh.

So really, the "October Surprise" this year was actually in September. (The economy)

Agree. Nothing is going to cut into the narrative of a national - world-wide - financial meltdown. Nothing grabs attention like people losing their savings and their homes.

Is it really just so hard to believe that someone on Neogaf isn't praising Obama?

So you made up your mind after just one debate?

Was tonight the first night you even paid attention to the race?

americans are usually morons when it comes to pronouncing foreign nations and names. they make fun of other ppl having accents when speaking in english but don't realize how much they butcher other ppl names and nations.

i was glad to see at least barack can pronounce pakistan properly. its really not that hard.
Click to expand...

It's easy to understand how a Middle Eastern country named Pakistan and spelled in the way that it is could be pronounced "Pack-uh-stan", right?

A Troopergate report may come out . . . and I'm not sure how that can help McCain/Palin.
Click to expand...

There is NO way that it helps.

1) They're going to bring charges: BAD.

2) They don't bring charges: news hits the front page and more people know that she was investigated for abuse of power.

Obviously, (2) is not as bad as (1), but this is a no-win situation for them.

If you're going to be a Republican in a PoliGAF thread, you'll have to get used to constantly defending your choice and explaining your reasoning in far more depth than you would if you supported Obama. That's just how it works around here, fair or no.

Good on Maddow to point out that McCain took the effort to state that he felt that the black questioner probably doesn't know anything about freddie mac

Honestly? I don't have much patience for people who think four more years of Republican rule are going to improve things. Even if McCain were the maverick he claims to be, he's still primarily going to staff the WH with the same guys, who believe the same things, as the guys who are there now.
