It was a draw
I don’t think there were any winners in last night’s presidential debate. Sen. McCain went off on his own tangents, and Sen. Obama sweated the small stuff, which I don’t think a potential president needs to be doing. Who was more relaxed depended on the stage of the debate: Obama first, then McCain got into his stride. I could go into more depth, but I know there are blow-by-blow summaries elsewhere on the ’net. Here, where my non-American viewpoint counts for little with the American voter, I can’t say there was a victory on either side.

Hi Mr Yan,
Actually, I think there was a winner, and that was the American people; we were all able to see and hear both sides. And, that is important in an era where big media budgets have helped to spin the race away from the central concerns of the people and [our] best interests: economics, healthcare, education and international wars. As I've stated many times, our country (America) has sadly lost its focus.
Many, many months ago you and I had a chat about America: New Migrant Americans, the need for a unified vision, and the economic meltdown that then loomed large and seemed almost out of control.
Americans need to brace for the a new reality check; pop culture won't go away, thus- as a country, and I do think globally, we need to extract clear facts while we have fun. And then, move towards a new era of freedom, and liberty for all.
Beyond the branding of Mr. Obama, and Mr. McCain...what added value do these two men bring...?
As you know, I love a great adv. campaign, the pitch, the sell, who will buy the position, this can all be sooo very exciting! Yet, a poster, or 30sec spot may not [fully] inform the viewers. All I want to know is ... Who has the most effectual message and a plan, to bring peace and help sustain global economics?
Yes, Mr. Yan you are correct: Round #1 was a draw. Now let the voters hear the heart of the matter; simply stated... the heart of man.
I'm a little tired of all the silly counter PR spin. America has less then two months to pick a new leader; one wrong vote, and... Well, it will get kinda scary like a Stephen King novel.
