Debate Wasn’t a Game Changer

After watch­ing all 120 min­utes of the gru­el­ing Pres­i­den­tial Debate #02 for 2008, I must say that John McCain did not pull off what he needed to swing the momen­tum back in his direc­tion.  Sure there were a few zingers fired at Barack Obama.  But I believe Obama actu­ally per­formed bet­ter than McCain.

And that doesn’t bode well for the Repub­li­can nom­i­nee.  I fear that, in four short weeks, this coun­try will vote in the first Social­ist Pres­i­dent.  John McCain had too many stum­bles in his speech, and he didn’t engage Obama nearly enough.  He needed to come out swing­ing and really stick Obama’s lib­eral poli­cies to him.  That just didn’t hap­pen.  Now we’re twenty-eight days from the elec­tion and McCain is going to be still behind in the polls after tonight.

As Charles Krautham­mer said last night, McCain may have won on points (won the domes­tic por­tion and lost the for­eign pol­icy por­tion) but it was Pass/Fail for Obama and he passed.  I’m fore­see­ing at least four years of Social­ism ahead.

I really hope I’m proven wrong on Novem­ber 4^th.
