Who do you think won the debate?

And why?

I think McCain won hands down

Update:

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

And McCain called out a bunch of Obama's lies

    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.

    Obama. He was straight forward and did not bash the McCain party like McCain did.

    Obama. McCain was being a baby about every thing. i think obama was very clear in stating his plans and ideals. i think McCain just circled around joe the plummer and didn't address the issues as well as i would have thought. i don't really like either of the candidates. but i think obama was a bit better. i think McCain was just all about attacking Obama. he didn't focus on the issues.

    McCain couldn't stop blinking because he couldn't stop lying. He also obnoxiously interrupted Obama every 30 seconds. Obama listened patiently and respectfully when McCain spoke, I wish I could say McCain did the same.

    I don't really like either, and I can't vote, so that's not a biased answer at all.

    obama by far. =]

    when mccain was asked if joe biden would be a good president, he was a total asshole and didn't even answer the question. obama was very smooth the entire time too
