The first presidential debate occurred on Friday night. The first article I read was by the AP associated press. In this article it explained how there wasn’t a clear winner. I also believe that this statement is true, because the both candidates were good in there own way, but again I think Obama had done a better job than McCain. After the debate, there were many T.V. commentators who took the side of one candidate, and showed the flaws of the other ones. The first debate was supposed to be mainly about foreign policy, “concerned the economy for about 40 minutes.” In this article it also states that CBS had a roomful of uncommitted voters, and after the debate, its said that many people believed Obama had won, “the number of people who raised their hands for Obama was more than double than those for McCain.”
The second article was an interesting article by Time. It graded both Obama and McCain after the debate. It graded them on their substance, style, offence defense, and overall. It’s said that at first McCain’s arguments were hard to follow, and it didn’t show in this debate that he knows the world more than Obama. (as he had once stated)McCain received a B- for his overall grade and I believe that’s a fair enough grade for him. He clearly didn’t have enough practice or confidence as Obama did, who received an A- for his overall debate. McCain at times didn’t deliver his message clearly, but towards the end of the debate he did find his “voice”. On the other hand, Obama looked confident in what he was saying. Overall this debate went well, and in my opinion, Obama won this debate.
