Hello! I decided to start this as an area where I can post ideas I have or thoughts on a certain subject. Please feel free to contact me at barterburn@gmail.com if you wanna ask a question or respond to a certain topic. Since tonight was the first debate of the 2008 election, I figured I put my thoughts on it here. Going in I believed that Senator Obama had the upper hand. Not just because he is a better public speaker than Senator McCain, but because he was already ahead in the preliminary poles. This put more pressure on McCain to do well because if he did not then he may slip even further in the poles, and thus ending his hopes. However, I thought McCain was actually pretty great. He took his time, responded nicely to each point that Obama made, and never once looked uncomfortable. The one thing that I think that may have hurt Obama was the fact he is such a nice guy, that several times during the debate, he said "...and I agree with Senator McCain on the matter." Never once did McCain say that he agreed with Obama. In fact, he said several times things like "Senator Obama does not understand..." or "Sentaor Obama is wrong on that matter...". McCain showed up tonight and I think a lot of people were suprised that he did so. I think this will make the debate next week between the Vice President's even more interesting.
Well, that's all for now, more to come later.
