Last night, there was a one time, never to come again, opportunity for candidates McCain and Obama to walk across the stage…look each other in the eye…shake hands…and promise the American public that our economic engine would not self-destruct… regardless of who gets elected. With McCain having the background in triage and team building, and the benefit of experience, at a minimum, he should have suggested the maneuver. It was a missed opportunity to show a collaborative mentality.
The fact that Barack Obama stood on a stage, as a nominated Presidental candidate and a serious contender, on the campus of Ole Miss…speaks volumes. God bless America and may the best man win.
I won it frankly. Although my wife thinks she did–whatever!
I think Obama won by a hair. I was disappointed that Obama was not more aggressive … he left a lot of openings on the table.
Still, if he wins the election it will be said of the debates that he won it with class and I guess that’s a good thing.

If the debate changed any minds, I’d be amazed.
Actually, I think Jim Lehrer looked best of all.
I have to give it to Obama even if maybe in reality it was a tie because this was McCain’s home turf and area(foreign policy) he is a expert(LOL).
