Tonight, You. Obama vs. McCain: Round 2 - Live Blog!

10:40- Main thought on the campaign: Obama didn't stay overly conservative in his debating style as I feared, and he ended up throwing some serious attacks. McCain didn't land a knockout blow, which means Obama won. He's losing badly, he needed a game-changer, and he didn't get it. That means a loss for him.

10:38- @DHR again: John McCain's Economic plan

10:35- @DHR: Prophetic on the crappy camera angles.

10:32- What I don't know with what will happen... Bold leadership.

10:30- Good point by Obama on how Iran started on their Nuclear path... by taking the policy that McCain proposes!

10:25- Ok, McCain is definitely waddling. There is no other word for it.

10:23- @D: Disappointed that no one has taken a strong stand against Ivan Drago yet.

10:18- "I know what it's like to send young men into war" DCJonesy's response: "Yeah, because you already did!"
Brilliant.

10:15- Yes! Well done Barack!!! When he steps out of the box and says things like: "This is they guy who said bomb iran, this is the guy who said he'd obliterate north Korea!" he absolutely destroys him.

10:12- "Walk softly and carry a big stick"? Was Teddy Roosevelt an armed robber?

10:10- @6.54: Agree on the intervention question, not an easy one to say the least. Why a problem from hell was such a good book.

10:08- An interesting question on whether Pakistan is a sovereign country or not. I'd bet they both agree not.

10:06- 2 good points from Chris Bowers:

-Brokaw keeps telling Obama to stop talking and then, when McCain interjects with a barb, Brokaw laughs again. Yeah--nice.

-Obama probably shouldn't bring up that Delaware is the best state for banking.

10:02- "There are things I don't understand, why we are in Iraq" Line of the debate so far, Well said Barack.

9:59- And we will shed more blood, for more freedom? These answers just keep coming out weirdly for McCain.

9:57- And he crushes it. Well done.

9:56- Massive, Massive massive softball for Obama on whether it's a right or responsibility.

9:55- "Hair Transplants?" He really is losing his mind before our eyes.

9:53- Boo government! Look at what those people did to the economy! You'd be better off without health insurance. Clearly.

9:50- Stop talking about Obama voting for the energy bill. Makes me want to hurl.

9:48- STOP SAYING MY FRIENDS. STOP STOP STOP.

9:46- McCain can't see light! Wave and set off a horn when you want me to stop.

9:41- "I'm not too popular among some of my peers" That's an understatement.

9:37- I'm in favor of taxing the wealthy! I doubt that's the choice McCain wants to give to most voters right now.

9:35- "Wall Street got drunk" makes it into a debate question... now I've seen it all. And the old man makes a jello joke? You've got to be kidding me.

9:33- @DCJonesy: McCain looks like he's struggling to stand, they might have to cart him off the stage.

9:29- Shorter McCain: "if you eliminate most government programs, the deficit will greatly decrease.

9:27- @DHR- This event really was not designed with sensible camera angles in mind. 60% of the debate is the back of their heads.

9:23- McCain is wandering aimlessly on stage like he's sleepwalking. That can't be a good look.

9:20- @6.54: No you idiot, we passed the bailout, things won't get worse. We gave up 700 billion dollars of our money for Paulson to fix it. He told us knows what to do with it. That means things are getting better. Moron.

9:18- I'd like to see that letter too... does anybody know what he's talking about?

9:10- Question: When did John McCain unsuspend his campaign? And I'm glad John McCain assumes you don't know about Fannie Mae, you fucking idiots.

9:08- I identify Phil Gramm as his choice!

9:04- Guy who asked question to McCain: "TOO CLOSE MAN- YOU TOO CLOSE!"

9:00 PM: And after watching a wizards pre-season game where Antwan Jamison just destroyed his knee...(mutters curses under breath) were off to the debate!

Last time was a huge success, and that's for a debate that historically has no significance on the race whatsoever! Tonight can only up the ante, although I admit it won't be the same without the whirlwind of folksiness and bullshit that is Sarah Palin. Judging by the events of the last couple days you'll wonder whether McCain will either try do arrest the terrorist lover on stage, or just refer to him as "boy". Tune in tonight to find out!
