Which debate did you get the most out of?

I am not asking who won or lost

I am asking between the 1st debate with McCain and Obama and the 2nd debate with Palin and Biden. Which debate did you get the most from? Which debate was more interesting?

    Tonight's debate. it was interesting how Biden had to hold himself back, so as not to step on any toes. The last thing he could afford is to be condscending to Palin tonight. I thought Palin was real and honest, in comparison to some people here.

    They both dodged questions very skillfully, I thought, but did not overdo it, in spite of themselves. I thought we got more direct and honest answers tonight than we did last week. Everything they said last week had been said 100 times before. Thsi debate also ran quicker and the candidates had to give quicker answers off the tops of their heads. I would like to see anyone here do that. I like your question. it has nothing to do with bias, and actually about an important part in the election process.

    I had a better idea of where both parties stood after the presidential debate. I don't think Palin painted a clear picture of the policies that she and McCain plan to implement it was very broad. On the issues I feel Biden was much more to the point and hence won the debate in my eyes. The presidential debate on the other hand was very much a draw to me.

    All in all I don't feel anyone has really dropped the ball.

    Dems won both, after tonight...if I had any doubt about Palin it's gone now. She isn't ready and I wonder what was in the minds of the republicans picking her? I think this has to be a dream or nightmare and I will wake and it will be all over or a bad joke.

    Sorry republicans, I am not laughing...my family's future is on the line here.

    Obama/Biden 08!

    The VP debate was far more interesting. I kept waiting for Palin to get that "deer in the headlights" look. She didn't, and Biden held his own as well.

    The first debate.

  • 1 decade ago

    The first one was more interesting because there were two people talking about issues and specifics. The second debate only had Joe Biden talking issues and specifics.

    neither. no debate is interesting when the candidates regurgitate what they've said since this election started. the purpose of a debate is to defend and challenge points interactively to sway people into what you have to say. i have not seen this at all in these debates.

    defiantly the Palin and Biden

    it was interesting
