By mw | Related entries in 2010 Election, Debates, Senate

I did watch the entire debate in stunned, silent horror. Some saw a clear-cut outcome. For me, it was all I could do to write this open letter of sincere condolence to our unfortunate fellow citizens facing this decision in Nevada.

Obama Talks With GOP

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Barack, Debates, Democrats, Obama, Republicans, Video

I know a lot of folks are talking about how Obama “schooled” Republicans today, but let’s get past that. Yes, if you watch the following Obama comes off extremely well. But can we focus on whether or not this type of dialogue is good for the country? I’d say yes, yes, a thousand times YES!, [...]

Schwarzenegger Wants Debate On Marijuana Decriminalization

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in California, Debates, Drugs

This came as a bit of a shock to me, but Arnold is definitely one of the most moderate Republicans I’ve ever seen and is willing to take chances giving his unique position as a Republican Governor of a solidly blue state. Also, let’s not forget that the state voted to okay medical marijuana back [...]

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Debates, Hillary, History, Video

I posted about this around the time we heard whispers about Hillary becoming Secretary of State, but I can’t help but post it again… Is it me, or was this one of those moments during the campaign where the mood and momentum started to shift in Obama’s favor? Because right after this Obama won Iowa [...]

Chris Matthews Talks Debate

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Debates, McCain, Video

I COMPLETELY agree with Matthews here about the Roe. v. Wade issue, and I have no idea why McCain brought this up. He already has his base. But then again, women were fleeing him anyway so why stop the bleeding now? Take a look… Lots of weird choices by McCain tonight. No wonder he lost [...]

McCain Did Better But Just Not Good Enough

By Alan Stewart Carl | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Debates, McCain

So, who said Barack Obama can’t debate well? And weren’t these debates supposed to be John McCain’s moments to shine? I’d like to give this debate to McCain. He was at his strongest (although others disagree). And Obama was almost too laidback, too sure of his own staggering intellect and ability to reason his way [...]

Obama Won Hands Down

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Debates, McCain

In the first two debates I basically called them a tie. Actually, the first debate I thought was a tie, so it went to Obama. The second one I thought Obama was much stronger at the town hall debate, but since I hate the whole “lowered expectations” game, I thought McCain lost more than Obama [...]
