I think McCain has more experience and knows what he is talking about. He has been in politics for years, and also has served for this country. Obama has little to non experience, and tonight McCain knew what he was talking about and showed that he was a better candidate. McCAIN SHOULD BECOME PRESIDENT! I will say that Obama is a good candidate, it just that when it comes down to it McCain is better. I wish Obama all the luck and McCain, but i know and HOPE that McCain is elected.

Sen. McCain acts very condesending and I agree he is not our friend in my household and that whistling sound he made throughout the speech was nearly driving me and my dogs crazy. He is so far out of touch with the middle class that it scares me to death to think he is getting the votes and support that he is.I also agree if he knows how to get OBL, then why the hell is he still alive? I am more than confident Sen Obama knows what needs to be done to turn this mess around.

McCaine: Sounded like he was telling a bedtime story when he spoke about Fannie and Freddy Mac. He just doesnt have it to impress. Too much back stabbing.
Obama: A choice of "Hope". Hope he means what he says.
Its hard to trust either man.
Understanding our concerns is one thing. Being able to act on the concerns, help us Lord.
Also,If McCaine knows how to get OBL, then why have we wasted all the lives of these soldiers in this war?
Why has he not told the president how to get OBL before another man or woman has to die for the cause?

SENATOR MCCLAIN IS VERY NASTY AND HE IS SO SAD HE NEED TO KEEP TO THE RECORD AND KEEP ON WHAT HAPPENING TO THE AMERICANS LOSING THEIR HOMES AND HAVE ALREADY FORECLOSED HE WAS always on attack. If caucausion men have been running this country for 400 plus year give the afro american 4 years. thats all this i

lucinda, i also HATE when mccain says, "my friends..."

i am NOT his friend. do not want to be his friend. and when he says... "my clean record......, my clear record"

OBAMA IN '08

that is all :)

The biggest problem with politics today is politicians, and the corporations that own them. I say vote none of the above. It would show them that we've had enough, and we're not going to take it any more. Unfortunatly, the elections have been pre-determined for 40 plus years now, so we are allowed to vote only to make us feel like we actually have a say in who rules us.

How many follow ups and how long are they going to give Obama?!?! Both campaigns agreed to the rules that Brokaw mentioned at the beginning of the evening! Obviously, Obama is trying to backtrack because McCain answers some of the questions better than he did!

This site must be biased to say that McBush won the debtate!!!! RIGHT what the hell are you watching? Must have blinders on!!!! I can't stand when McCain uses the phrase "my friends" talking about being a two faced idiot!!! I will not be back here if this site is biased I would hate to see that happen!

McCain was obviously told to walk around a lot to show how spry and personable he is....The problem is he walked like that robot in the movie The Day The Earth Stood Still...very stiff, and he walked in circles.

I think one thing that McCain could have said that would have scored many points is that this financial crisis must bring forth a fundamental change in some of the Republican Party's policies and world viewpoints. In some respects, the government does have to get more involved and oversee regulation of the financial institutions responsible for this nightmare. The Republican Party has to actually start putting the middle-class first instead of throwing tax breaks and other financial perks to the upper-class and corporations. And as the richest country in the world, yes, the Republican Party has to expand government in order to provide guaranteed health care for every American citizen. If McCain was a real maverick, he would show some humility and speak with compassion, not the same old political double-speak and inaneness.

To reduce the likelihood of fraud, lies and a rigged ballot, The amount should be reset to zero, at the end of the debate.that way they at least are given the opportunity to watch before they vote...

I think it's hilarious that John Mclame has already won this poll and the debate hasn't even begun!

As of 8:42 pm, EST McCain had 3 votes...How did he have 3 votes before the debate even started?? Are his supporters that blind and close minded? Seems like someone is trying to stack the ballot. I hope it is not someone within the "YouChoose" network..... I will not be back if this websiteis that biased.

An extremely important question that needs asking in one of these debates is, "If we cannot trust you to tell the truth in your campaign ads, how can we trust you to run the country?"

As of 8:08 pm, EST McCain had two votes...How did he have 2 votes before the debate even started?? Are his supporters that blind and close minded? Voters like this are acting almost like they are dumb robots... preprogrammed to follow the republican party regardless of the facts and lacking the intelligent to make logical conclusions without racial prejudices clouding their decisions.
