Obamessiah voters think Obamessiah won.
McC voters think McC won.
Libertarians think they're both more of the same crap we've had since Reagan...20 years of lying bass turds. Nothing I saw would move me from Bob Barr to either one of these business-as-usual-retreads.
Undecided people probably saw nothing that would make them decide. They'll be waiting for Round 2 and probably Round 3, praying that they will see something that will give them enough faith to make a decision.
I don't like either one of them. I'd call it a draw. McC wins on foreign policy, Obamessiah wins on economy. Obamessiah stutters a lot but looks into the camera more, better connection with the audience. McC more forceful and direct but looks down at Lehrer too much, need to connect with the audience.
I think either one of them could have won the election tonight on the economy. All that was necessary was for a clear statement in support of the TAXPAYERS instead of Ritchie Rich on the Wall Street Bailout. There have been several plans put forward that solve this crisis from the bottom up instead of the top down. If either one had proposed a bottom up plan, it would have been game/set/match. But both are too chickenshirt to be that bold.
