    How many more mentions is Joe Lieberman going to get? McCain really trying to push towards the centre and looking to try and attract any disillusioned Democrats.

    Does McCain seem to be constantly wandering around in no particular direction? constantly changing the direction he's looking

    Nice point by Obama about McCain going on about the Washington insiders when he has been there so long.

    The 3%oil 25% use and the fact that drilling alone won't work was a nice shot.

    Brokaw getting fairly testy about the time limits there.

    Obama is not slating McCain, though he often points out a different route to that McCain suggests.

    McCain takes cheap shots.


    AAAGH - "My Friends"
    FFS - "That One!"
    AAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH "My Friends"

    Twice in one breath!


    I really hope enough Americans vote Obama to save the would from another Bush

    wtf is mccain doing wandering around while obama is trying to answer the question? It makes him come off as senile, or at the very least trying to distract members of the audience from obama.

    put medical records online?!

    for someone who barely knows how to use google maps he sure shows what little he knows about internet security.

    A stunning oversimplification (not to mention somewhat ill-informed oversimplification). That said, McCain's comments about safety and waste processing not being important (or something to that effect) were kind of odd.

    I notice the Ohio men don't give a damn about insurance, the women are a bit more interested!

    McCain totally fudged the Healthcare question by claiming Responsibility - handed it right over to Obama.

    I'd imagine Obama just connected with a lot of voters with his point about his mother fighting insurance companies.

    Obama is on a roll here I feel, taking the debate to a new level while MaCain is resorting to little jabs and assumtions.

    Neither answered the question directly "should healthcare be a commodity"; though Obama came out stronger, especially with his second chance to reply.

    Obamas not being smart with Tom Brokaw: he's been interrupted by him a lot. surprisingly, McCain has not been beraded.

    I think its an oversimplified question but I'll start a thread on it tomorrow.

    Big hit there from Obama mentioning his mother dying of cancer and fighting the insurance companies on healthcare. Made the point very well.

    McCain - "hair transplant" line and "size of fine" - EPIC FAIL

    And stupid one liners.

    Obama looking very presidential especially by comparison with McCain.

    I thought he got away with it ok - he was way over time but I think Tom's given up at this point - they're both as bad as each other.
