on the debates

Mccain certainly did not look like a man a few years away from death. He looked vital. But the debate was even which helps Obama.

Mccain could have done better on taxes and iran. He missed alot of oppurtinties, esepcially on not attacking Obama's tax policy or exsplaining his tax policy. He should have mentioned in regard to Iran diplomacy that such diplomacy with Iran has been proven futile for the last 3 years as the European's have tried and failed to do what Obama wants to do more of. Mccain should have put out the facts also that Iran has broken all there agreements and treatys before. Is Amnejihad just waiting to shake a American presidents hand in order to give up his nuclear pursuit?

Ironically Obama gave a much more compelling case for why Iran must not get nukes. Mccain should have exsplained how easily Iran could give nuclear material to Hezbollah who can make dirty bombs which by lobbing into Israel can make 80 oercent of that nation unliveable. He should have mentioned that Iran blew up a jewish community center in Argentina and that if they were to get nukes we would be setting a precendent on nukes which would allow anyone to acquire nukes.

I think Obama did the best he could, Mccain will win the next debates because he can improve on his first debate performance which was itself pretty good.

It was defintly the best poltical debate i've seen in 8 years.

Aside from policy, we have nominated two very likeable people.
