The presidential debate

The presidential debate between McCain and Obama hasn’t been one of the best debates I’ve seen this year. Both candidates seemed to have a little trouble answering each question and dealing with the other candidate. The one who seemed to be off the most was McCain. He was able to answer most the questions, although whenever he tried to confront Obama, it seemed as if he was attacking him and in a way really just seemed like a grumpy old man. Obama was a bit better. I thought that Obama didn’t answer his questions quite as well as McCain. However, when Obama started arguing with John, he won every time. One of the reasons Barack won every time was because he was able to stay cool while speaking and he had an reaction to every attack McCain made toward him. One thing I highly enjoyed about the debate was the questions asked. Most debate I hear questions that are important, but are too interesting. That defiantly wasn’t the case for this debate. One of my favorite questions asked was about how both candidates had commercials attacking each other, and the question was talking about that. One of the reasons I like that question so much is because it was so straight forward. Pretty much they were saying, would you say what you have said on your commercials to the candidates face. Now, I think that is such a juicy question to ask, because the candidates wanted to both seem innocent in a way, but this question defiantly called them out. I would also say that they both answered it relatively well.So, who won? It’s hard for me to say. I want to answer the question, although I do like Obama better than McCain, so while watching the debate, I had a bias the whole time. So, this time I’m giving into my bias, and I’ll say that Obama won. McCain seemed so on edge and jittery the whole time. So whenever he talked, it seems less sincere then if he was calm. It seemed that Obama kept his cool the whole time, which was unbelievably important. This whole campaign, he has been that way; it truly seems to be working.
