So pretty much nobody won =/

"orgy of spending," said Barack Obama haha. funny man. anyways, both of the articles i read stated that neither john mccain or barack obama won the debate. i have to agree with them too because there were some times i was like 'oh damn mccain' and others when i was like 'go barock!' both men brought it at certain points during their time frame. especially when the other man said something about them that they felt was wrong. both felt the need to get defensive and clear up all the nonsense the other man was spitting.
i feel the beginning of the debate was the most important part of the debate because they spoke of foreign policy and the economy and the middle class. well actually barack spoke of the middle class mccain didnt. a whole bunch of high numbers were being thrown out reguarding taxes and spending and i wasnt sure who or what to believe. the war talk was pretty intense too because it seemed like mccain knew a lot about it and what he was talking about. i like how barack is for nuclear defense stuff. he talked about korea and how we put too much money into air port security but need to put it into nuclear defense because we never know what could happen.
an observation i made was that mccain was pretty "cool and collected" as said in the san jose mercury news while barack at times was "shaken and stuttering". mccain had his little smirk going on which made me upset because the times he smirked was when barack was speaking which i found rude. he also didnt look at him "as if he wasnt even there". it felt to me that john was looking a little down on barack a bit because he was younger but im not too sure. i also agreed with the san jose mercury news article that johns tie had a weird look on tv with the stripes and whatnot. baracks solid tie was much better although he wouldve looked spiffy in a yellow tie.
the san fransisco chronicle stated that when uncommited voters were asked who won the debate more hands shot up for barack than mccain.
