Well, I think they both brought up many good points, but when the economy came up, it seemed to me as thought they both sorta skated around it. I was disappointed that neither of them really addressed it as fully as they could, especially since it is, at the moment, a most prevalent issue.

Oh, and did anyone notice the weird little quirks they both had? I found it particularly amusing. For example, McCain losing his temper and Obama's silly grin?
[stuff]
The focus of the debate was foreign policy, and thus the candidates were at least partially justified in skirting that issue. The economy will be the focus of one of the later debates, though now would be a good time for it, in retrospect.
I'm thinking one caused the other, in a rather circular pattern.
NEWS FLASH! Experience is good. Inexperience is bad. You can't overuse it.

I also thought the way McCain just kept talking when Obama tried to interrupt was a good tactic. What were your thoughts on this instance?
Obama stuttered. A lot.
Did you see Biden's rant after the debate was over? It was 5-10 solid minutes of attacking McCain on factual errors, all done cold. It's stuff like that that reminds me Biden has more 'experience' than all three other ticket members combined,
including McCain.
If you say something about someone, and that person attempts to interrupt to explain why everything you just said is an out-and-out lie, and you're too wrapped up in spinning your own story to listen, that isn't a tactic - that's arrogance.
Not too much, but an unusual amount. Odd.
I can't vote, therefore, am not affiliated with any political party. I am appalled you would make such a statement without stating facts. I prefer McCain over Obama, who cares? Doesn't mean I'm Republican. It just means I am not bought with his words. As for evidence, it is common knowledge that the House and Congress is dominated by Democrats, who want the government more involved in our lives. The government sweeping in and sopping up our outrageous mess is pretty big.
Why do people blame Republicans? Well, the perfectly understandable reason is the fact the Bush administration is Republic. Anything large in the danger level will probably be blamed on the incumbent party.
Democrats > in House and Congress than Republicans. In order to not seem repetitious, check the previous statements.
Oops. The Senate currently stands at 48/48/1/1. The ones are a socialist, and Liberman. That's a tie, with Cheney breaking the tie. Republicans control the Senate.
Oh, you are allowed to support McCain without being Republican. If you do so without presentable reason, however, then you're a fanatic. Explaining positions is a good thing.
I don't think I need "facts" to tell you that your argument doesn't have "facts", but I quoted you and that is my "fact".
The reason politics are so screwed up is because people say things like "I prefer McCain over Obama, who cares?", if you're going to take a strong stance like the one you took in this thread, you should care a lot about who you support.
The Bush administration was exactly what the Republicans wanted and you can't claim that Bush has had no effect on our current situation. It is his and his eight years in office's fault that America is suffering economically right now. A president should be able to take care of these situations, and if he can't there is no reason to blame the House and Congress, it is simply what people have voted for.
RAmen.
I would say that the Bush Administration was a Republican dream right up to the point where the public realized the man is an idiot and voted in '06.
