I read a few articles regarding the debate between McCain and Obama last Friday. Some of them said Obama clearly won, some say no one won, and others say nothing of winning. According to FOXnews.com, the one thing that is very important to Obama is the economy. For the first half hour of the debate he talked about economic issues and spoke strongly of it. Obama said the economic crisis is the "final verdict on eight years of failed economic policies promoted by George Bush, supported by Sen. McCain."
McCain was not so strong when he spoke of economic issues, The economy was not his focus point. McCain said that he had "better things to worry about". McCain talked frequently about the war in Iraq. Accoring to CNN.com, McCain "slammed Obama for not supporting the surge, an increase of about 30,000 troops to Iraq in early 2007. Bush sent the additional troops as part of a campaign to pacify Baghdad and its surrounding provinces."
In my opinion, I think the election could go either way. Both candidates have positives and negativies about them. Obama is more for the economy. Articles pointed out that Obama was confident when speaking to the camera. McCain is more focused on the war and seems more ready for the job as president. He said would not need "on-the-job training" like Obama would, according to FOXNews.com McCain may lose voters of the middle class because of his lack of economic discussions, however Obama could lose because citizens are tired of this war in Iraq. I believe it could go either way.
