I know that most people have already made their statements about last nights debate, but what the heck here are mine:
1) McCain should have asked about Rezko. He should have said that Obama continues to tell different stories about that old washed up terrorist, but what about his financier Rezko and how the entire Illinois democratic party could be destroyed by corruption that flowed through him. He should have made Obama say wether or not he will keep Patrick Fitzgerald on the job. Ayers has been said enough, but not Rezko who is a ticking time bomb.
2) I think McCain did a great job of saying that the rhetoric of Obama is amazing but does not match. He should have said that in every answer following Obama. Just repeat the message over and over.
3) Taxes he really hit Obama in the face and I am affraid America may not have heard it. Obama=depression. If Obama is elected president we will see the Carter Dow return remember DOW 800. It may not hit that low but 2500 is not out of the picture if the dems somehow hit 60 senators and pres Obama.
4) Abortion this could have been the knockout punch. He could have said more forceably that Obama was so weak he could not take a stand when it counted, and how do we know he will do that when America is under attack.
5) Free Trade: McCain hit him hard here and nobody paid attention. He rightly said that Obama would rather sit across from the table from Chavez but will not support the American Farmer.
6) Education: Once again I am affraid America did not hear what Obama said. He said if it works don't do it. That is what happened.
My perceptions last night of how they looked. McCain was being McCain. Remember when we said time and time again that Romney beat McCain but McCain ended up winning. The samething happened here. McCain looked aggittated but for some reason there are alot of Americans who like that. Also, Obama looks more and more like a dictator in training, he looked angry that he was being challenged.
Overall, I think McCain won this debate. I think these polls are ridiculous when you have over 40% dem sample, even John King said they were a farce. This race is probably more like the
IBD poll.
