Given the present climate of America on the verge of bankruptcy and both political parties' willingness to kow-tow to Money Street- I watched Friday night's debate in Oxford- Mississippi more-or-less impartially.
In my humble opinion- neither McCain or Obama "won."
Obama DID appear more presidential- as Mc Cain seemed to wear some silly grin most of the time when Obama was talking (Makes my case for drug-testing politicians).
Other than that- it seemed neither one came away a clear winner as such.
One thing DID interest me though- and it was the responses afterwards.
NBC had Joe Biden on and while he was talking- I wondered aloud if Sarah Palin would rebut (but doubted it).
Sure enough- NBC's Brian Williams says after Biden that "Palin was offered a response- but it was declined by the (Republicrat) Party."
The interesting debate therefore should be October 2- when Biden & Palin get their turns.
I'm sure Palin is too busy these days being rehearsed by Rove & Company so she don't look like a total moron when opposite the much more experienced Biden.
But Friday night- there appeared to be no clear winner of the first presidential candidate debate.
