Watched the debate, sorry I wasnt able to make it tonight! WOW it was very interesting. I'm curious to see what everybody thought.
Okay so i was there. Being that I am not much of a political savvy individual, I definitely found some of the strategies that McCain utilize, quite funny. Especially the time when he mentioned the last comment about Palin's husband. This was my first debate ever and was surprised at how much i enjoyed it.

The debate was okay. It seemed a bit lopsided because McCain, in my opinion, was outmatched by Obama in both style and presence. What I liked most about the forum was the QA session that took place after the debate concluded. It was interesting to listen to the questions and opinions of the audience, and to hear the responses from the panel and moderator.
Just a note on the debate from Joe-the-firefighter. I guess McCain should have done a little more research on Joe-the-plumber. Maybe he would have picked someone with a little less history with the IRS.

After some cogitating and consultation with others who watched the debate:
Obama’s performance was little different from previous debates. His style of delivery is strong and confident, and he mostly came across as credible. But he also seemed a little too dispassionate; he occasionally exhibited a forced, or contrived composure, like that of a professor whose authority is questioned by a mere student.
As for McCain, unlike previous debates where he seemed doddery, even docile, avoiding eye contact with his opponent, this time he came out swinging. McCain’s new-found combativeness served him well. He did land several good punches, but their impact was diminished because he tended to follow them up with a smug expression. Nor did widening the eyes and raising his eyebrows in response to some of Obama's remarks help much either.
Overall, Obama’s delivery was calm, collected, and concise. McCain’s delivery was spirited-- if occasionally disjointed. Obama was the better speaker in terms of smoothness. McCain was better when he displayed some passion.
