I'm upset they never got to any gun control questions...Obama's anti record and now trying to push it under the rug, it would have been hilarious! He would of stumbled worse than on the RUssia issues.

I was disappointed by Obama tonight. I'm still voting for him, but I have a feeling McCain will close the gaps a bit in the polls after tonight.
me too, disappointed - maybe not close them all the way though. and only for a while.

I don't think that either one was very brave.
Neither one fessed up to the fact that the American people are going to have to make great sacrifices because of the economic mess we're in.

Well we all know that McCain will win the popular vote and Obama will win the electoral vote. Obama is even winning in traditionally red states like FL and NC for crying out loud!

Because when we have an economy verging on collapse and 2 wars raging...there MAY be more important issues to discuss.... but that's just me....
