So this was supposed to be the one about the War on Terror. Events of the week however, put the Economy as subject #1, taking about the first half hour of the debate. Same old, same old. McCain to reduce taxes on the wealthy, cut spending. Obama to reduce taxes for the needy, control spending, but spend where needed. Of note, McCain wants to reduce the overall budget. I wonder where from.
I did live blogging on the debate on Twitter and reading other Twitters while watching the debate. The debate overall was boring, except McCain's references to Miss Congeniality. That was hilarious. I didn't know the Senate was a beauty contest.
It appeared that McCain was fresh and active, like he took a case of Red Bull before hitting the stage. Obama, however, looked very tired. The campaign has aged him.
Everything discussed tonight were things we've heard from the candidates in the past. No new info. It was boring and a draw. However, one could say the Obama won because the War on Terror is McCain's strong suit.
On to the next debate, assuming McCain does not suspend his campaign beforehand.
This is great info to know.
