Who did the best at the warren interviews (campaign, poll, speech)

Exactly. Sadam has WMD? Start the bombing. It's the rapid fire response that gets us in trouble. Unfortunately, not everyone can see in grays.

Before I voiced this out loud, my husband, a *total* non-politico listening in the other room, remarked that McCain's comments sounded "canned".

I'm with you on that but didn't want to be the first to say so!
Rep coming your way!

I predicted to my husband tonight that the left would come up with a conspiracy theory to account for obama's poor performance. I love being right. Maybe his cone of silence malfunctioned and he heard the questions and obama's lame answers. This will be the talking point tomorrow for the kooks at the dailykos,mediamattersand huffpo.

what one might call canned answers to me came across as sure and confident versus Obama's need to waffle and be vague because he is trying to be all things to all people! Lets not forget Obama calls himself a Christian and has been way more outspoken about faith and religion than McCain has, it was generally viewed that this would be Obama's night!

You'll love it more when you actually are.

Are the Rethugnikkkans finally starting to shut us up with their screeching? We gotta do something about that.

Hehehehe, or perhaps the good Captain KNOWS from experience? It's called leadership, Dumbo knows little of it. KKK????? Oh, you mean Senator Byrd (D) the true KKKer, right?

I think both did well. McCain had the edge, but he's spent most of his career lying about his morals so it wasn't much of a stretch for him.

I lost a lot of respect for BOTH of them based on some of their answers, however.

Can I have my rep back? I thought you were being intellectually honest in your initial post.

McCain was pretty clear about his biggest moral failing.

In what? Being a lousy student? Losing planes? Getting kidnapped because you're an effup pilot? Cheating on your wife?
