How do you think the average Joe and Jill in Indiana or Florida saw this debate?

Not the partisan, and not the Democrat but the person who doesn't really like politics much but will watch the debate and not much more.


I have no idea.

1. They are at a high school football game

2. If CNN's meter is any indicator, they weren't impressed with either

candidate, but a bit more positive toward Obama.

3. yawn

I think it is an Obama win and they will see it that way..both where a bit long winded and McCain was on the defensive a lot. They both stumbled a bit..the moderator sucked. The morning fact checkers should be hitting McCain pretty hard ..that will help.

4. They said..We've heard it all before

5. I think if I were totally uninvolved and clueless as to the backgrounds of

either of these men, I'd think they both did well.

My problem is that knowing what I know about McCain, I'm aware of what he's claiming is bullshit and totally skewing his stances and past actions.

But if I didn't know that, I'm not sure how I would judge them, except I do know I'd be leaning toward Obama.

6. Obama's body language was better.

He looked into the camera like he was talking to you/

7. Get real, they didn't watch

They'll wait to see what Fox or The View tells them to think.

8. My husband is a dreaded "moderate" Democrat

and he said it was evenly matched until the last 20 minutes, then Obama blew McCain out of the water.

9. Dupe - sorry
