Easily one of the most boring debates I've ever seen.
No big slip ups, no great one liners. Not too many interesting moments and frankly i was disappointed with McCains performance in regards to the economy and especially taxes. When Obama said he was going to cut taxes for 95% of Americans couldn't McCain have asked him about his proposed increase in capital gains taxes that would affect most of the country?
One other interesting thing was the "I've got a bracelet too" comment with Obama. Unlike McCain, who easily recalled the name and situation of his bracelet honoree, Obama had to look at his wrist to recall the name on his bracelet.
I watched the wrap up on Fox. Fred Barnes seemed as bored as myself and gave a slight edge to McCain. The chick from Fortune Magazine said it was a McCain Blowout. Juan Williams gave a slight edge to Obama and Dick Morris gave a slight edge to Obama.
Morris made the most sense of them all. His analysis basically was that he thought Obama scored a little bit better on the economy and McCain easily won the foriegn policy part. His thought is that the economy is a bigger issue right now so he gave the edge to Obama.
Either way, as I said to Donkey last night I don't think anybody is deciding who to vote for based on theses debates unless there's a major gaffe.
Bring on the VP's!
