He directly answered the question on Pakistan among others. Mccain did not. Style plus substance = Obama all the way, no contest.

Watching McCain with his almost angry-agressive attitude,
and disrespectful comment **That one**show's his true hot tempered character.Obama was presidential and respectful and cares about our middle class.
Also remember when Bush boarded Airforce One for hours,during 9/11 and left our VP in charge?? Which one would you want running our country. Paylin? now that really scares me!

I will admit the Obama did better in the debate than McCain, but it was all glitter and no substance. Although both were typically evasive on many questions, McCain actually came close to directly answering a few of the questions and put some specific substance in his remarks, rare for a political candidate. I don't have a clue as to where anyone thought Obama clearly answered any questions except with his campaign rhetoric and he did a good slick willy impersonation when he complety changed the topic when asked what he would ask America to sacrifice. IF McCain wants to close the gap, he needs to take the high road and quick taking negative shots at Obamas non record. Obama says he will cut taxes on the middle class who will be unemployed after he chases more jobs oversees where corporate taxes are lower and bring back Neville Chanmberlain style diplomacy, John had it right - beware the Bear who is coming out of hibernation.

Go McCain - You have served your country well!!! You are a born leader. McCain will make sure we are safe and free.

in his tax plan. obama mentioned that he want to cut tax to middle class and impose higher tax on bigger corporations and businesses which employ many people in our country. There has already been a recent tradition of outsourcing of jobs and if these business are taxed more, i think it will drive an encouragement towards outsourcing which will automatically result in jobless middle class.

It amazes me that so many people still bring up the Jeremiah Wright issue. Yes, we all saw the video loop from the media. But did anyone that has a problem with what was said go to the website and purchase the DVD to hear the whole sermon, probably not. You much rather jump on the bandwagon that Obama supports radicals. I'm sure Wright was not preaching Sunday after Sunday, "anti-American" sermons.
But it's been said the McCain originally did not support establishing a holiday in rememberance of Martin Luther King. Let's talk about that. A man that stood for equality for ALL people and in a non-violent way. Does that make McCain a racist?
I think it is absolutely ignorant for one to think that Blacks are only voting for Obama because he is Black. Ask Jessie Jackson if it worked for him!

Clearly Obama will be a good leader, and in times of economical crisis we need change; and i truly beleive after viewing both candidates, that Obama is the better choice for us in this time of trial. To sum it all up, Obama has a better economical plan, and a better health and energy solution that we all need. so he has won myself and my family as our next candidate for presidendy.

If you check with Bank of America you will find that they intoduced the plan for bad loans that McCain said he was going to do during his part of the debate last night. The plan BofA has for some of the Country Wide loans they took in the buy out was online within the last three days.
