Official 10/7 Townhall Debate Live Discussion Thread

[ps79]

My friends, my friends.. little annoying.

[Moooooo]

I've already said it once today, I have a dog in this race, but McCain is really bad in this format.  He's all over the place with his responses, he's fumbling through his gestures and his responses.

Obama isn't great so far, but he's at least collected.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

The economists already destroyed your argument, John.

[The Mikado]

Stand still, John!

[Volrath50]

It wasn't just the "that one" words, his body language and facial expressions were just plain creepy.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

McCain the tax hiker, ouch.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

It wasn't just the "that one" words, his body language and facial expressions were just plain creepy.

Wow.... there's a difference between looking strong and assertive.... and looking like a p***k.

[Ronnie]

McCain isn't living up to his standards.  Him winning could have really helped the hurting GOP incumbents.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Tax credits are great when you don't have a job.

[riceowl]

GOLD PLATED CADILLAC.

Oh, shut the hell up.  Blue avatar my ass.

if you cant be civil maybe you should leave

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

McCain's policy covers hair transplants? How elitist.

Meh, I felt his body language was weird and a bit creepy. If you liked them more power to you.

[Ronnie]

Too bad 40% of Americans DON'T EVEN PAY TAXES.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

McCain is only in favor of government interferance for $1 trillion wars, $700 billion bailouts, and banning abortion.

[Moooooo]

McCain has 30 minutes to turn this thing around.... ie his knock out blow.

[Likely Voter]

interesting to see the diference between men and women when Obama talks about children.
men = heartless...screw the kids
women = awwww he loves kids and wants them to have healthcare

[ChrisFromNJ]

Obama is hitting this health care question to the stratosphere.

[Ronnie]

Come on.  This is the most hack-ridden thread I've ever seen.  Reading the comments, you'd think McCain is going down in flames, but he's not.  To be fair, he's not doing great, but he's not doing miserable.  And I'm getting sick of most of these hacks sporting blue avatars and adding to the charade.

In his defense, if you are a member of a political party, it doesn't mean you have to be a cheerleader.

[The Mikado]

OK, Barack, when JOE BIDEN's your running mate, bashing Delaware is a bad idea.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Brokaw isn't being invisible the way the first 2 debate moderators were.

no.  Biden's from Scranton.

[exopolitician]

"We've shed American blood from all four corners of the Earth...WE ARE PEACE KEEPERS!"

oh yeah...?

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

I damn well knew that the Iraq war was a mistake before that resolution was passed. STFU, McCain.

If you're really curious, I have the blue avatar because I'm a Canadian Tory, and have voted for them every election I've been able to vote. I don't really support one US party over the other, just like watching them for entertainment.
