This debate was primarily about foreign policy and both candidates were ready for that. They were not, however, ready for the initial questions regarding the current economic crisis.
I want to see my president thinking on his feet, come on guys, show us what you got!
Regarding foreign policy, Obama clearly had the edge. His policy makes sense, diplomacy over brute strength, but have the muscle and will to back it up when needed. Diplomacy garners more support and helps strengthen and legitimize your position.
I think McCain came off as condescending with all his "he just doesn't understand" jabs, while Obama came off as gracious with his agreement on points his opponent made.
I think it is time for an intellectual in office. No more knee-jerking. I want someone who DOESN'T make snap decisions but ponders consequence.
Anyway, I REALLY wanted Ron Paul, but I think I will be going with Obama this year.
