Cnn poll dosent surpraise me its offical obama network so stop spinning it cuz you want your guy to win who eles would be watching none other than obama fans!!!

Hey, did anyone notice that McShame wasn't wearing a flag pin ? He also couldn't look his opponent in the eye, just like kids who know they are lying or doing something WRONG…hmmm…interesting…

I don't want a warped, ol-man, with a chip on his shoulderat the controls. I want to return to diplomacy, a strong economy and hope forthe future. That hope lies with Obama.

McCain and Palin have made a farce of the GOP – and the GOP knows it, too!!!

I loved the debate! I come from a republican household and I have to say Obama won. McCain kept getting angry and he wouldn't listen to Obama. I don't see how anyone can say McCain won with a straight face. Obama won and my republican family agrees.
Obama/biden '08

I am an Obama supporter so I agree with him on most of his policy statements and agree with almost nothing that McCain says.

However, having said that, I still wonder how McCain's refusal to look at Obama will play. Personally, I thought he looked angry and condescending. Kept waiting for that infamous temper to erupt. It looked as though it was pretty close to the surface a few times.

And darn…only three occasions to play the "my friends" drinking game. I thought we'd get a lot more of those.

Obama did much better than McCain. McCain seemed to be bringing up alot of what he did in the past, but not to much on what he is or would do for us in the future. I know experience is nessecary, but I didn't get the feeling he is connected to middle America and helping us. Obama did well and I agree with his platform he is running on. I used to be a republican, but now am a democrat. I don't vote a straight democrat ticket, but Obama definately has my vote.

Obama won the debate. After this past week of McCain's unnecessary drama and misguided shennanigans, all Obama had to was hold his own, and he exceeded that expectation.

Obama/Biden '08

either way, Obama wins because it wasn't clear that McCain had a clear advantage with these issues. I thought this was McCain's turf, but I couldn't tell from the debate last night.

Obama's probably going to have an advantage in the next debates.

Let's see how this goes…

Obama/Biden '08

Obama definitely looked so much better, McCain was twitching and snorting, really unattractive.

Obama clearly had the edge. McCain sounded like he was lecturing and would rarely look Obama in the face. McCain is supposed to be the 'maverick', willing to cross party lines but tonight he sure came across very stubborn unwilling to give Obama any credit. At least Obama could admit when McCain was right.

Obama/Biden '08

Of course Obama has an edge in the polls. He usually does. That means NOTHING. November is when it really counts.

NO Obama!!

Everyone needs to LISTEN to Obama. It is truly apparent that his best interest is an overall intrest for ALL Americans. He will put Washington to work for us all. God Bless Obama. God Bless AMERICA, Land That I Love.

Sen. Brack Obama won simply because he was more crispy and cool collected and he exceeded beyond my wildest expectation. Brack obama got my vote tonight

When it comes to the economy, there is hard proof that McCain's "trickle down" theories don't work, and that Obama's "bottom-up" theory does:

See for yourself:
blueorred.atspace.com/email.htm

This proof is unimpeachable.

I am an independent. I do not belong to any party . This is how i feel about the debate. The result of the debate to me and to any logical person was known even before it started . The debate was between a man with 1.5 year experience versus a man with over 20 years experence. It was between a man who put his country before his own interest when he supported an unpopler surge in Iraq. versuse a man who is willing to say anything to the Amercan people to get their vote. Obama knows very well that he can not pull trops from Iraq if the regoinal countryes like Kuwait, Suid Areba, Turkey say no , because it will destabilize the region. and yet he said he will pull trops within 16 month. from the day he become president (we will see about that) Such a promiss will make him either not truthful to the American people or it could indicate that he is totally un aware of the basic facts of foreign politics in the Middle east. In either case it is a desister. I am an American citizen, my origin from the Middle East. To day the debate showed who had the leadership quality and who is really ready to lead . I will lose my faith in the American people if they elect Obama. Because a nation who give no value to experience and no value to a stright talker Like MCCain it doomed to fall. ( Obama is a good talker, but that does not mean he can lead a country like America).

What in the h e ll is a "slight Democratic bias"? You asked 524 adults in a country of hundreds of millions and you think you've got an accurate picture? God, these polls get dumber and dumber as the election runs on. Oh, let me guess; you're really basing this on internet opinion. Great thought there. Because, of course, the internet isn't overly populated by Generation Young & Really Stupid. Hang out at facebook and youtube for awhile and you'll be forced to start wondering: "How did these idiots even get out of junior high, much less swing a high school or college degree?" There are a lot more people in this country than those paid to hang around on blogs and cheer Obama on, and they don't see things the way Gen YRS does.

McCain bashers – grow up. Even your own party dropped the "can't use a computer" thing when they learned the truth. Try to pay a little more attention, okay?

Obama has the edge (online) because the 20 and 30something sheeple are rightfully mad at the Republicans and they think he is their only alternative. Obama is playing them for the fools they are to fulfill his personal ambitions, and they are too gullible to see it.

REAL CHANGE can only come through overthrowing the Dem-Repub regime and bringing in people who do not owe blind allegiance to either of those corrupt-to-the-core parties. A vote for McCain OR Obama is simply a vote for same-old, same-old business-as-usual.

I wish Obama was more aggresive tonight, anyway, he almost made McSame snap at some point, which clearly shows his temperment. If Cindy was an ordinary woman, he would've slapped her around all the time.But he needs her money, so…..

And by the way, McCain has to stop doing that creepy-old-man-snake-tongue thing. It looked like he was trying to catch bugs with it or something, the way he kept flicking it.

What "slight democratic bias" does this article speak of? Journalists shouldn't make such statements without providing some clarification. By the way, I watched the debate in a bar with a lot of people. Obama won.

Looking at the debate on it's own, Obama did NOT have any sort of edge. He spoke in pure generalities while McCain cited one specfic point after another.

I don't know who I'm going to vote for but after that debate, I have a lot more confidence in John McCain.

Now you know why McCain wanted to call the debates off. I still believe his main objective was to get the VP debate cancelled because he and the rest of the conservative know he made a bad judgement call with Palin.

McCain could not even look at Obama during the debate. And he's supposed to be a "tough guy"? Loser.

Even if Obama"wins " the 3 debates it doesn't mean that he will win the GE!!!remember what happened to Sen. Kerry!!!!!!!
Even if Obama was ahead in the polls by double digit it wouldn't mean that he would win!!!remember Dukakis!
Meaning….let's wait 5th of NOVEMBER!!!!!!!!!

McCain won by a landslide. I think some of the polls are done by calling districts that are traditionally democratic, which makes them entirely un-scientific. Network bias proves this to be very possible. If who "won" the debate is based on the most knowledgeable, competent person to lead the greatest nation on earth…The answer is clear: John McCain. Obama was jittery, rude with continuous interruptions, and near hostile at times. John McCain was clear, precise, substantive, and direct with his answers. One point he made very clear: He is the one who works with democrats and republicans – Obama does not, proved with his 97% "left" voting record. How do you trust a guy who says he will unite democrats and republicans but his record proves he doesn't do that? Obama is scary: It is proved he changes positions just to try to get elected. McCain is solid as a rock, and the ONLY candidate we can trust to lead this nation.

I can't say I agree. A 4.5 sampling error is way too high to come to a conclusion. Also most people are aware of CNN's strong lean to the left. This would be as useful as looking at a poll at MSNBC or even Fox news whos text voters voted over 80% in favor of McCain tonight.

Unfortunately, it's nearly impossible to find a balanced poll conducted by any media source these days. Too much swaying. So, these polls are really useless because they help no viewer or reader no what's really going on in the minds of those still undecided.

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET, depate Sen. Obama. I love your style.

CNN your title is very misleading. you accept the data is skewed by having 41 % democrats to 27 % republicans as a sampling pool; then you have the audacity to publish this !!!
I would have expected something like this on MSNBC or FOX.
This is so bad because someone just scrolling through would have the false perception that "Obama won the debate according to CNN poll" . This is Wolf Blitzer's network, a great great and fair journalist, so please keep the standard up.

Obama might not have won by a huge percentage but he won. If foreign policy is McCain strong point it didn't show Friday night. Even with all his diversion this past week and his performance Friday night may he shouldn't have showed up.

McCain only showed his anger, impatience and unyielding manner. Obama was the clear winner in the debate.

no doubts that obama comes out as a winner despite that the results might actually look like a tie. mcsame should have been looking like the experienced guy he claims to be, but intead, he spent too much time saying obama does not have experience instead of responding to obama's remarks.

Obama won…..cool and level headed.

I think this political season is the most interesting, and history makink in all my (60)yrs. and in our nations history.
However, having said that, I think this elections VP picks are the most important we have ever had. We need to be paying a lot more attention too them than ever before simple because of the age of McCain,,and dont get me wrong, i'm not a biggot nor do I discriminate or care how old a person is. Still we have too be honest, and realise that McCain at his age makes his VP pick very important,and this really bothers me.So far everything ive seen about Palin I dont like.Not because she is a women, but she doesn't answer questions so I have know idea where she stands on anything, however my gut is telling me that she is in over her head.
Therfore, unless something really bad happens in the Obama,Biden camp? Then I will be voting for their ticket because I think there ideas are better and because of the things I pointed out above.thank you,
Mr. Steven Wise
Indiana,U.S.A.

Did you write this before or after the debate? I watched your coverage all day and you and your so called jouranlists are so pro-Obama, that comments on how he was going to win and what it would take for him to win were flying all day. Best CNN disgrace of the day, Campbell brown, after interviewing 4 Obama supporters intoduced by name and title, introduces Sen. Lieberman as "a McCain supporter", but you all do not see her 24/7 bias. She has become so nasty, she is even less pretty.

As an Obama supporter, I thought they both actually did quite well. I think Obama held his own on foreign policy, which you have to look at as a win since that is supposedly McCain's turf.

What will be really interesting is the Biden vs Palin debate. I think Biden won't have to (and shouldn't) go too hard on her – She will self-destruct with no written speech and with no teleprompter and I think people will feel sorry for her. Biden should focus on Democratic policies and on McCain. He shouldn't say "Barack is ready to lead," because that will open it up for Palin to remind us that Biden said Barack "wasn't ready" in the primary.

It appeared that McCain kept on bragging about his war heroism and experience when the deep problems of America is beyond that. Matter of fact, its true that Bin Laden is still out there having a good time and laughing at the americans, It seems they are looking for a needle in the middle of a haystack. Obama wants to get rid of Bin Laden in the worst possible way. So more troops should be there than in Iraq. So what's new with McCain?

CNN AND THE MEDIA ARE SO BIASED, Obama did not win by far. Look at the text pole going on after the election. An overwhelming 89% of americans felt McCain won. You IDIOTS cannot even give the man that. HATE CNN, SO DAM LIBERAL IT HURTS TO WATCH. . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . ..

The best part of the debate was when Obama called him Jim.

If John McCain had done more than attack. He might have won this debate. It was still, Senator Obama this, and Senator Obama that.

and this was supposed to be Senator McCains area of expertise. Ha I laugh at the very suggestion.

I think this also shows how the election will go. Republicans are disappointed in their candidate this time and few expect to vote. Adding Sarah Palin to the ticket, while it seemed like a good idea at the time, now is a liability. The Democrats are excited about their ticket and are working hard to put him in the White House.

Obama's good at this strategy. If he's ahead and splits ties the rest of the way with you, you've lost.

I Agree, But Obama Looked Calm, While Mccain Look Aggitated.
Obama Wins This One.

As a registered independent, I would appreciate a Republican candidate who is able, during a debate, to prove that he masters the intricacies of all issues facing America. In reality, Democrats consistently prove themselves to be better at understanding and expressing themselves about complex details, while Republicans are more often happy to get off some good one-liners and "below the belt" punches – rather than really answering the questions in detail.
As such, I honestly think that America has come to expect less of Republican candidates during debates, and as such, they will cut the Republicans more slack.
Last night's debate was no exception to this.
McCain stayed in his comfort zone, repeated his campaign ads, and did not answer the questions. Obama illustrated at length not only that he master the issues, but that he would be a strong leader and move America forward. I feel that Obama won this debate by a large percentage, but I also think that this will never be reflected accurately since many Americans hold lower expectations for McCain. Maybe they think that a war hero does not have to be subject to the same level of judgement as an African American from a broken immigrant family. Pity.

The outgoing commander of US troops in Iraq, Gen David Petraeus, has said that he will never declare victory there.
He said he did not know that he would ever use the word "victory": "This is not the sort of struggle where you take a hill, plant the flag and go home to a victory parade… it's not war with a simple slogan."

If this is a true statement, please tell John McCain

Talk about the news media trying to skew the results in Mccain's favor, when obama clearly won.

McCain is a unhealthy choice for America.

Any man who votes for John MCcain is ensuring our country to 4 more years of a lackluster economy and failed views, John MCcain will say and do anything to win then go right back to what President Bush is doing Failing our Country. And by the way I am in Afghanistan right now and believe me we are not making progress here either. Obama was right Iraq is a distraction, you know what the difference between Afghanistan and Iraq is there is no Insurgency in Afghanistan. They had to travel to Iraq to kill servicemen here we are fighting the people of Afghanistan not foreign fighters like in Iraq.

McCain did not say one thing of substance. He acted like a smug child. Obama seem more like a senior Sen. My god . Obama is just what America needs . He is one smart cookie. John McCain really in to war, and not much else. McCain seems to be living in the past. I guess growing old , dose not alway = growing wise.

Way to go president Obama

We'll see how the McCain camp can twist an obvious win for Obama to a drop in Obama's poll numbers. We saw it in 2004 and don't think that Tucker Bounds won't be hitting the Sunday morning shows without a spin or two up his sleeve. Bring on Sarah Palin this coming Thursday for the game-changer Obama/Biden have been looking forward to.

Best of 3 Debate Series

OBAMA-1
McCain=0

I agree that Obama won because in addition to his answers his body langauge was very good. McCain never looked in Obama's direction. And if a man can't look you in the eye don't trust him.

Mccain was in greater command of Facts, detail and experience. He used more of the words "I" than Obama. Indicating that he had been a part of much of what he was saying. He had done it etc. Compared to Obama who was "promising" to do what McCain has already done.

all polls I've seen so far have Obama waaay ahead of McCain. So much for McCain's ad BEFORE

CNN… try to be honest. Sometimes it is good to be Honest.

Someone said on a blog last week that Obama would probably win the debate in the eyes of the public, but the media would try to spin it as a tie. After reading this article, I see that person was right.

Obama answered his questions well last night and i think the Polls will be high in favour of Obama this coming week. He did well on the Overal, he did exceed my expectations
Obama/Biden '08
Clinton '12

I personally thought that Barak Obama more than held his own and he showed himself to be up to the task of discussing foreign policy…..I thought he did quite well in discussing the economic disaster that has taken and shaken us all to the core…… Obama was right to not give solid answers because until we see just what the economic bailout plan is going to be, he was wise to basically leave it as is.

John, rest your feet, this race is over. You have moved from frying pan to fire without any plans of rescur and it was a huge mistake to suspend your campaign.

obama won

One of the first rules of basic manners…you LOOK at someone when they are speaking to you!
McCain's refusal to look at Obama even ONCE was disrespectful, disgusting and racist.
Now, even more than before I'm in Obama's camp!

I think it is very important for McCain to win the war in Iraq. He doesn't care if American people if they lose thire houses, their jobs and life saving. Obama is the future and McCain is the past. I am an independant and at this point I think that Obama cares about the American people and their well being.

This poll leaves the disclaimer that it is a becmocrat-biased poll. Is it then truly worth anything as a poll ???

OBAMA spoke like a true leader of this country.

Iwill be voting for Senator Obama. He is the new leader I want to lead our county. (From what is left of it)

Obama seemed well versed, but more from book knowledge and hard study than from having experienced similar circumstances during his political life. Obama certainly has charisma and is undoubtedly a superior speaker to McCain. But, what matters to me is sincerity and Obama has changed his stance numerous times moving from the far left to more middle-of-the-road as he has progressed from democratic contender to presidential contender.

Will Barack Obama be another Neville Chamberlain of WWII fame? John McCain sounds like Winston Churchill. Will Mr. Obama talk our way on a technicality into another World War? The thought lies with the American voters.

I was not particularly impressed by the debate. McCain was occasionally muddled and responses were not always relevant. Obama seems bright, but uncomfortable, possibly because he knows just how limited our resources are and how expensive a proposition addressing our critical problems will be. Saying that truth won't get one elected. I'm not sure that either is equal to the challenges ahead, but I would take my chances with Obama.

Obama clearly won BIG. This was McCains turf and he looked almost as clueless as his VP partner. He didnt even know the name of the president of the country that we are at war with!!! Obama was dead on with his answers and stayed calm cool and collected no matter what lie McCain tried to run out there. And where was the Communist McCains flag pin?? Everyone made such a big deal about Obama not wearing one but McCain is the man that made 5 Anti-American propaganda interviews and videos during his POW stint should be the one wearing it if nobody else. He is NOT a war hero!! Do the research, he sold out fellow soldiers and got several killed. He violated EVERY rule of being a POW yet people tout him a hero?!? The records are out there just look for yourself.

Watched the debate and came to the obvious conclusions, conclusions that I'm sure are obvious to all that watched:

If you're a fighter, you gotta love Mc Cain. If you're a lover you gotta love Obama. If you're an injurer, you gotta love Mc Cain. If you're a healer you gotta love Obama. If you're a banker, you gotta love Mc Cain. If you're a worker, you gotta love Obama. If you're a mega-millionaire, you gotta love Mc Cain. If you're like the rest of us, you gotta love Obama. If you're a bully and hot-head, you gotta love Mc Cain. If you're a conciliator and cool under pressure, you gotta love Obama. If you see Iraq as a good move for our country, you gotta love Mc Cain. If you see Iraq as a mistake and a boondoggle that was all about George Bush's daddy issues, you gotta love Obama. If you're convinced that markets and companies can police themselves and do best for the rest of us, you gotta love Mc Cain. If you believe in rules and regulations designed to protect Americans like you and me, you gotta love Obama. If you're a Bush fan even after all the devastation he caused, you gotta love Mc Cain. If you're not a fan of Bush and his corporate-giveaway schemes, you gotta love Obama.

The choice is clear after this less than exciting debate.

Bring it.

November 4th. Be there and pick sides.

Why is it that John McCain wouldnt look Barack Obama straight in the eye's? Or even acknowledge him? I recieved a vibe that McCain FELT as if Barack Obama didnt deserve to be on that stage or even in his presence. DOESN'T SIT WELL WITH ME!!

Obama definite winner of first debate. He seemed more confident and definitly more intelligent. I also noticed Mccain avoiding eye contact with Obama, making him look weak.

I think watching the debate to me Obama looks more presidential and Mccain wasn't because he never looked Obama in the eyes through out the debate, but Obama did that certainly and was more posturized. Obama fits the job perfectly well…

I expected more out of Sen McCain considering that he has this abundance of experience, espectially when it came to foreign policy. Sen Obama appeared to be just as experienced or even more. I expected that neither candidate would respond well to this economic crisis we are facing, but wanted to see who showed pause and the right temperment in dealing with difficult issues. Sen. McCain showed panic under the pressure this crisis was emanating and wanted america to panic alone with him. He needs to stay out of the bailout situation in Washington and work on his Alaska VP pick before she bailout. The fire is hot!!!!!

America has spoken, now bye-bye Mccain.

No, McCain clearly won the debate. He is ready to lead this country on day one. This poll is ridiculous. Most panel members across news stations agreed that McCain was sharp and got under Obama's skin. He mentioned how Obama had $932 million in earmarks, voted with Bush's energy bill that gave Big Oil hundreds of billions in tax breaks, and how Obama voted to raise taxes on those making $42,000 or more per year. McCain made great economic points and about energy independence. He is ready. Obama is not. McCain wins debate #1.

McCain/Palin '08. Reform. Prosperity. Peace.

What is all this "maverick" stuff all the time. Let's face it, McCain is a republican and in the past 8 years, the republicans even with the "maverick" have run our economy into the ground, got us mired in a costly, deadly war, not found Bin Laden, not made any progress in peace talks between Israel and Palestine, etc. What good is a maverick if he's an ineffectual maverick. In the debates, McCain talked about all his experience but what does he have to show for it, what have the republicans delivered? Not much. It is definitely time for a change.

I think McCain thought, if I just pretend he is not there then he will go away. The problem is that Obama kept his cool, challenged him in key issues like taxes and foreign policy and more clearly defined his stance in diplomacy. McCain was sarcastic and defensive on these issues and unfortunately for McCain, people like me are more concerned with these issues.

i just love you all your biase slanted and liberal side of the story …it makes me laugh

I think both candidate did a marvelous job, but Obama had an edge, thorough and truthful in his responses than Mccain. This is evident by periodically saying " John is right" this is being honest to the fault. McCain on the other hand would never admit Obama was right even when this is obvious to him. I think rather than chasing after political points to boost the campaign, we need a leader who would say it as it is. " ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free".

The comments from the viewers has to be taken from both rebulicans and democrats equally. It shoudn't be biased. It's not justified wether Obama is the winner or it's equal.So lets see in the next debate who has a clear edge given the equal opportunity.

SOunds good.

McCain had so many problems. Last weeks behavior, his campaign manager, Palin, taxes, etc.

Not sure the debate helped him enough

McCain was pompus, arrogant, and condescending. I will not vote for him.

AMEN

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008

Obama was straight forward. I feel like McCain and Palin have a strategy that is not working, I thinks its called, "Don't answer the question and use the word maverick".

Obama was straight forward. I feet like McCain and Palin have a strategy that is not working, I thinks its called, "Don't answer the question and use the word maverick".

Who fared better depends on what we want in a president. If we want another arrogant partisan deregulator, then McCain was you winner. If we want another knee-jerk erratic president who also thinks he is superior by age, then McCain was your winner.

Nevertheless, if you want a president that knows the importance of working with others to get things done, Obama showed this trait well tonight with his acknowledgment that we all have ideas to which we agree and disagree. This makes for a great statesman and a person who can actually get things done. It seems to me a bit schizophrenic to complain that our politicians do not ever get things done due to partisanship and yet complain about one candidate that displays bi-partisanship. Obama showed his strength in standing above the negative and partisan politicians that we all so desperately want to get away from. This aspect of Obama was a strong plus for me in this debate. Obama is articulate, has well thought out ideas and exactly what we need. For me, Obama was not only the winner, but also the winner hands down.

I think that, in the last analysis, both candidates did a decent job tonight of defending their positions. And if I was to speak to my bias, I would say that Senator Obama won.

However, I try to keep an objective view, and I think that Senator McCain did better than I expected, while Senator Obama did somewhat less than I expected.

But who wins in a draw? The answer is: whoever was on top when the debate started.

So the net gain goes to Obama, particularly since he was not playing his strong suit tonight.

Senator McCain did little to dispel the disaster he made of the economy this week.

I think obama won because Mccain seemed too moody and could not find the guts to look Obama in the eye when he said bad things about him. Obama had the guts to face Mccain when he told him all the things he got wrong in Iraq. Mccain tried to bail from the debait and then came back like a whipped dog only to be mean spirited with out having the guts to face the man he was attacking.

Any man that cannot look at and speak directly to his opponent is a coward. McCain is dishonorable. I am ashamed FOR him.

McCain was owned. I wouldn't even say it was close. In terms of who looked more presidential, Obama won hands down with his strong demeanor and ability to stay on topic. Not once would McCain even look Obama in the eye, or even address him as if he were in the same room. It was very disrespectful and quite unbecoming of a person we are supposed to believe will represent Americans on the world stage. In terms of actual debate tactics, Obama mopped the floor with his befuddled opponent. I would also point out that Obama received much more republican support throughout the debate than McCain did democratic. In the last 20 minutes it was evident through the ticker at the bottom who was winning the crowd.

McCain would not EVER look at or address Obama….he was like a child. The moderator kept telling him to speak TO Obama and he refused and clearly could not. He is an old cagey man who lies and looks like a beggar – NOT presidential.There is something about perception to the world that plays out on the international stage.

I am SO tired of hearing about his military background and him telling old stories like your grandfather. Obama is not just the change we need, he is more like the Kennedy generation of rejuvenating the country, even it happens to hurt (finally) the unethical corporate old-timers, lobbyists, oil men and wealthy in their pockets.

Well … 38% is better than George Bush's approval rating I guess.

It's a mark of how distorted the Press is- everytime people actually hear McCain, not Obamas smears, not the Press's cheerleading for Obama- Every time McCain is allowed to get his message through, people come away impressed.
And then the Press gets all confused. How about toning down your bias and sticking to the facts. McCain has a lot to offer.

i dont even know if what his real name is Barry dunham,barry Soetoro, barry obama, i dont even know if he is a US citizen so why dont he answer those questions

Call me next time if you want a real story by saying it's a tie due to Democraic bias your basically saying our research sucks and you don't know how to do your job! CNN has fallen so far!

McCain looked old, tired and he was cranky and condescending. NOT what a President of the United States should be! Time to retire John.

Obama looked more comfortable, especially in the beginning of the debate.

McCain seemed to act like he had tasted something bad. It may have just been the truth. After his ads, most of which run from stretching the truth to outright lies, the truth owuld be an unfamiliar flavor in his mouth.

Obama won, hands down. His termperment is what we need in the White House. Not reactionary, off the cuff overreactions.

IM PROUD TO BE A OBAMA / BIDEN '08′ SUPPORTER.
