Who won the debate?
In a match where some punches were pulled, others were glancing uppercuts, but none seemed to be the knockout blow. Even debate helmsman Jim Lehrer urged the competitors on, insisting they direct their responses to one another as opposed to the blind cameras. Not to say some blows weren't landed; Obama sharply criticized McCain's tired politics and a faithfulness to the Bush Administration Johnny M couldn't seem to distance himself away from enough, while John McCain seemed to stress that Obama's plans would merely result in emptying the pockets of America.
Points, arguments, attacks, the only true way to measure the debate is by content. What did each potential candidate bring to the table fresh that wasn't repeated a mere 15 seconds earlier? Some answers became tired, repetitive...and were there a drinking game tied to the number of mentions of "cutting spending" by McCain, I would be far beyond the ability to write out this blog, or even a coherent sentence.
You cannot fault either candidate for mispronouncing a name, or forgetting a word here and there. What you can fault them for, are blatant lies, and lining up a pathway that will send our country into utter turmoil. There is only one candidate tonight who outlined a road that is different than the one we have been traveling. Both purported change, one represented it.
It's our tax money, where do we want it to go...into programs that reduce the cost of health care and gasoline, or into the pockets of the wealthy.

I would really like the money to go back to social programs so I keep my job thank you. :-) And I'm certainely not the owner of wealthy pockets.
