Barack Obama

McCain should thank God tonight when he says his prayers that Obama declined to go on the Town Hall tour with him!

Barack Obama

McCain kept repeating what Obama said and was an insincere old man.

Barack Obama

Obama speaks to the crowd. He is honest and articulate. I truly believe he brings change to a world in turmoil. McCain is very out of touch

Barack Obama

Barack simply has more foresight than McCain. Obama has a better understanding how this world has changed over the last 25 years.

Barack Obama

McCain was once again bitter and misinformed. The polls are going to open even wider.

Barack Obama

Barack Obama was the more "presidential" in stature and responce. Also McCain's remark about Obama's vote calling him "that one" sucked.

    I thought McCain looked old. Obama was more relaxed. McCain was not able to land any realy punches.

    There was no contest. McCain needs to chill and not look mad all the time

    Obama gave specific answers and was very comfortable. He is a truly a leader.

    Barack answered more questions. McCain used "my friends" much too often. At his age, one would think he knows the meaning of the word.

    Hands down, Obama. He is calm, thoughtful, intelligent, and does not lick his lips all the time.

    Obama. McCain " listen to my vision" the one he never showed. Obama answered more. McCain mostly pointed out his thoughts on Obama policies

    Obama looked Presidential. McCain looked lost and grumpy.

    No contest in my view. Obama knows what he wants to do to fix the economy and he prounounced it with his energy plan.
