But I have never understood how people react to these debates, remember Bush "beat" Al Gore supposedly.jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12334610030826410437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15674637.post-81590206417336195402008-09-29T13:26:00.000-04:002008-09-29T13:26:00.000-04:00I also think Obama needs to counter "What Senator ...I also think Obama needs to counter "What Senator Obama doesn't seem to understand " with "What John doesn't seem to remember."Kate C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16011104084874632714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15674637.post-53570290883955354602008-09-29T12:18:00.000-04:002008-09-29T12:18:00.000-04:00I watched it with a friend of mine who I meet when...I watched it with a friend of mine who I meet when I interned for the 5th circuit. We both felt that it was a tie because neither one really did anything to convince people that are undecided. There were no game changers.<BR/><BR/>I did wish Obama would stop saying "John is right on that"Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10905587964216524129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15674637.post-78558263663489275942008-09-29T09:53:00.000-04:002008-09-29T09:53:00.000-04:00I am surprised and relieved too.

And not only the polls mentioned on MSNBC.<BR/><BR/>Calvin watched the debate in Union Station in DC waiting to get back to NY, I was so nervous watching it alone.jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12334610030826410437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15674637.post-5613791370586163282008-09-29T09:27:00.000-04:002008-09-29T09:27:00.000-04:00It seems like a lot of Obama supporters/liberals t...It seems like a lot of Obama supporters/liberals thought he didn't do that well. Maybe it is our bloodlust for McCain led us to misjudge the performances. Or maybe the press and moderates are so annoyed by being jerked around and lied to by McCain that they favor Obama no matter what. In any case, I am relieved.Kate C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16011104084874632714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15674637.post-18925159839871957722008-09-28T22:56:00.000-04:002008-09-28T22:56:00.000-04:00Josephine in not alone.
