Opinions?

I don't think he can. Agreeing with McCain takes some of the heat off of him to actually produce his own answer or think for himself. Without a teleprompter, Obama the speech reader sounds pretty dumb and clueless.

im sure he has been practicing a lot to be able to agree with him passively by just repeating it all again, lol.

it is widely accepted by everyone that Obama won the debate, so what is your point?

I think his point is: please Obama, can you be be as bitter and angry as McCain, so McCain has an even chance to win something.

Seriously? No! I don't think Obama is really looking forward to a debate with a town hall feeling.

I think agreement shows true leadership. It's dangerous to open yourself up like that, but Obama is confident in his positions so that he doesn't need to simply disagree with McCain on everything to win. McCain meanwhile thinks that as long as he runs as the anti-Obama that he will have this in the bag, but people are begining to realize how futile the personal attacks are and are turning to Obama who keeps what they like and offers change where we need it.

I guess it's more honorable to call someone a terrorist sympathizer than agree with him when you agree with him.

What is wrong if he agrees with him on certain things? Isn't that called reaching across party lines? Obama will have no trouble at all tonight.
