Presidential Debate 1

The first debate goes to Senator John McCain. 3 reasons:

1. Readiness: Senator McCain came out of the gate a little shaky but soon took control and put Senator Obama on the defensive where he stayed the rest of the debate. Senator McCain knew his facts, cited them frequently, and spoke in concrete terms that American's could appreciate. Senator Obama just harped on about fairness, and socializing the country.

2. "John's absolutely right...": Senator Obama conceded with Senator McCain at just about every opportunity. Over eight times he conceded that Senator McCain was right including on issues like: government waste, taxes, Iraq, and Iran.

3. Arrogance: Calling a sitting U.S. Senator "John" was a sad display of sheer arrogance. Senator McCain was serving the United States before Senator Obama could walk, talk, and much less debate. Senator Obama stood there all night long treating Senator McCain like a moron while flashing his silly grin and shaking his head. In the end he made himself look like a pompous goon.
