@ckras That's unfortunate. I'm starving for some good contributions from the other side.
@davidsteven Unfortunately, people would rather ask "Is this a new Cold War?" than "What will you do about Russia's TB epidemic?"
@davidsteven You're right. But if failing public health is the threat, then that's what we should talk about, not their military ventures.
@cshirky it's over. didn't miss anything substantive. obama looked comfy, mccain did'nt. Obama had 1 moment, keyword 9/11: http://is.gd/3GSW
"Last question: Are each of you capable of reciting a prepared, heartwarming statement?"
@fantomplanet nailed it: "Brokaw got railroaded in this debate." Zero control, almost no presence.
@Mlsif is (correctly) fed up with the Debates Commission. They certainly aren't doing his bad back any favors. Work it out, Micah!
As a former Russia expert for US intelligence, let me say: Stop pretending to care. Russia is a dying nation, not a threat http://is.gd/3GQ1
Obama won points just now. Sullivan: "This is a Democrat. Can you remember the last one who used rhetoric like that on national security?"
@fernandorizo not an interpretation, but verbatim. Weak answer. @nancyscola agrees.
@jerrymichalski He started great. He should've kept that theme going. "I don't understand this McC policy, or that one, or..."
1st Interesting Question of the Night: What's the Obama Doctrine on foreign intervention? A: stop genocide "when possible."
RT @MaryHodder why does McCain want to put health records online when he won't put his up?
RT @chasing A vote for McCain is a vote for four years of crappy jokes. (It's true. His effort to look cool is backfiring. It's not him.)
McCain's gloves have come off, but in the wrong way. Instead of attacking, he just looks like a meanie. "That one!" "Not you, Tom." WTF?
RT @ckras nuclear is green but many don't understand that. (Everyone, read this book: http://is.gd/3GLt )
People playing the "my friends" drinking game have all been rushed to the hospital for alcohol poisoning.
from 538: "That last answer from Obama about service had the CNN dials on the roof."
Ppl are luving O's personal responsibility lecture. Sullivan, 538, several on here have called it one of his best campaign moments so far
"There are a lot of issues that we're gonna be dealing with tonight." Like the one we've been talking about for the last 40 minutes, Tom?
