Debate Assignment

"Analysis: Focus on economy may hurt McCain, give advantage to Obama"
Accoding to this article posted on mercurynews.com, neither McCain nor Obama was the proven winner in the debate on Friday. In the upcoming presidential debates, strategiest believe that it will determine the election to either fall in favor for McCain or Obama. The article states that Obama has been more favorable in the election than McCain. McCain's party is well aware of Obama's lead but does not fear. They took example of going back to 2007, not to be paniced about the polls. McCain's fear is that the undecieded voters will vote for Obama in the upcoming election. But in all, it is believed that Obama has insured the undecieded voters with his clear answers and powerful voice. I also agree with this article that there is no confirmed winner in the debate. There was too little time with too many things to say and state in the debate. We need more debates like this to hear what the presidential nominee's will do to our country when they take office.
"McCain vs. Obama: Dueling temperaments, no defining moment in first debate"
This article is basically the same thing as the first one. It states that there is no apparent winner in the debate but many things has been cleared off. In the 96 minutes McCain and Obama debated, many things were discussed such as the economy and foreign policy issues. In the little time there is until the elections, both canidates may have not changed the mind or presuaded the undecided voters. I agree that we should wait until further debates to pick our decisions because it will greatly change the state.
