Obama did bash McCain though, he said his supporters were racist and called him a terrorist but McCain defended Obama many times and Obama never returned the favor
Did you people even LISTEN to the debate?? McCain said a whole lot of nothing - hot air - barely even mentioned specifics. All night Obama clearly outlined SPECIFIC POLICIES and stances. All night Obama refused to attack McCain at all. He was incredibly diplomatic. Frankly, I would have asked McCain to stop interrupting me were I in Obama's position, I would have called McCain out on his many lies during the debate, I would have confronted him on his avoidance of many of the questions.
To anyone who actually paid attention to what was being said, it is clear that Obama not only won but dramatically outclassed McCain.
Obama definitely won. he got under mccain's skin so bad in such a calm collected manner that mccain started showing anger and frustration at the end of the debate. you know you won when your opponent loses character.
