Pwned!
http://www.mydd.com/ story/ 2008/ 10/ 8/ 1568/ 47089I wrote earlier: My one positive pre-debate thought: McCain has such a deluded sense of his own ability at these things that he gets a false sense of confidence and starts saying stupid shit -- I just have this feeling he's going to have a YouTube moment tonight. And boy did he.

And The Loser Is...
http://www.mydd.com/ story/ 2008/ 10/ 8/ 0944/ 50762This debate. And Tom Brokaw. We were promised an interactive "town hall," where audience member could quiz the candidates live, and Brokaw would channel the questions submitted by citizens online. Obama and McCain, freed from podiums, might mix it up.

And The Winner Is...
http://www.mydd.com/ story/ 2008/ 10/ 7/ 23617/ 1027While the debate was a snoozer, this was a clear win for Obama for me. CNN once again is acting as though it's a draw and of course Pat Buchanan thinks McCain "won on points" but really, Barack was not only once again speaking directly to the viewers AND the group in the room, repeatedly referring

Post-Debate Thread
http://www.mydd.com/ story/ 2008/ 10/ 7/ 223454/ 872A few initial impressions. First, and most important, John McCain failed to make the most of this opportunity -- one of his last -- to fundamentally change the direction of this race. Nothing, and I mean nothing, occurred tonight that will put McCain back in the driver's seat of this campaign, let alone help him retake a lead.

Josh Debate Thread
http://www.mydd.com/ story/ 2008/ 10/ 7/ 21636/ 5155Newest posts on top - earlier ones below the fold... It's bizarre that during the first debate, Lehrer practically begged the candidates to engage with each other - now Brokaw seems to be ragging them for engaging. Ugh. BO on McCain taxing employer health benefit: "what one hand giveth, the other taketh away" "That one??" Brokaw keeps complaining about time limits.

Jonathan's Debate Thread
http://www.mydd.com/ story/ 2008/ 10/ 7/ 21141/ 2485Here we go... Is it just me or is McCain getting the last word significantly more often than Obama? Is there parity here? That's about the toughest hit on McCain -- the "Bomb Iran" song, etc. McCain saying "not true"? It's real tough to say you didn't say it when everyone has seen the tape.

Todd's Debate Thread
http://www.mydd.com/ story/ 2008/ 10/ 7/ 2163/ 52765What a shocker. John McCain is freakin Guy Smiley tonight, looking right into Barack's eyes as he greets him, patting him on the arm. Right after sitting down, McCain started scribbling away. Take those notes! First question about bailing out Main St, not just Wall St.

Pre-Debate Thread
http://www.mydd.com/ story/ 2008/ 10/ 7/ 205427/ 094A few cool debate resources as you watch tonight: MySpace and The Commission on Presidential Debates joined forces for MyDebates.com. C-SPAN's very cool Debate Hub. And remember, if you're tweeting the debate, throw in a #current tag and your message might make it on CurrentTV's broadcast of the debate.

Protecting Marriage Equality In California
http://www.mydd.com/ story/ 2008/ 10/ 7/ 20425/ 6378Got lost in the debate melee, bumped - Todd This has been a rather newsworthy day in the fight for marriage equality in California...but not in a good way. First the polling data on Proposition 8, which is the right wing's ballot initiative to eliminate same sex couple's right to marry, via e-mail:

Cognitive Dissonance
http://www.mydd.com/ story/ 2008/ 10/ 7/ 193650/ 998Yesterday I mentioned how ineffective McCain's attacks on Obama were as they didn't reflect any real or perceived notion about who Barack Obama actually was (i.e. he's "touchy", "angry", "dangerous", really? Have you seen the guy?) It seems to be running in the family.
