Perhaps we watched a different debate? Unlike the prior debates, Obama looked to be on his heels almost from the outset. He seemed annoyed. McCain (who, by the way, was second to last on my list of GOP candidates) on the other hand, seemed to be ready to pounce and he did.
Did McCain deliver a ‘knockout’? Clearly not. Did he deliver a series of withering attacks to which Obama seemed unable to respond to? Yes. “Um”, “ah”… Senator Government could not get away from his spend, spend, spend mentality and McCain was able to point that out repeatedly.
I love the line about Obama’s ‘eloquence’ being so good, but then pointing out his equivocation.
Also, this may very well become the ‘Joe The Plumber’ election and McCain has that issue all to himself.
