If you think McCain is winning the debate, leave the forum.

Seriously.

Obama is winning this.

He's playing safe because he HAS to. He can't risk it.

He's won two out of three debates, Biden won his debate, he leads in national polls by double digits, and he's electorally crushing McCain.

McCain is throwing everything, some is sticking--most isn't.

Barack simply has to clear the record, and repeat the same theme that McCain is more of the same.

So cool it. He's doing what he has to.

A slim win in the debate tonight is a huge victory for us.

1. That's not a particularly helpful sentiment.

Open and honest discourse should be the way of this site.

I think Obama is doing fine as well, but you don't get to tell anyone to leave because they don't share your opinion exactly.

[PresidentObama]

There is no basis to say Obama is losing the debate.

He's playing it safe, and eeking out a slim win.

It's better to barely win than risk it, and possibly lose.

He's riding his momentum. People need to cool it.

8. Normally, I'd agree with you.. but the same few people are posting the SAME lines over and over..

in different threads. It's far too coordinated to be spontaneous thoughts about the debate. I don't expect everyone to agree on it.. but there are some here tonight that are desperately trying to spin for McCain and trash Obama. They think that because it's so busy, no one is noticing that they're posting the same thing over and over...

[Mojambo]

13. And I'd have no problem calling them out individually.

I just don't like the idea of a general post telling people to leave.

[PresidentObama]

6. He's playing it safe and correcting the record, as McCain looks angry and incoherent.

7. he is certainly winning, but your post is rude.

[PresidentObama]

16. It's a common theme with DU. I'd rather be rude and right, then post McCain is winning n/t

10. I'm not watching and I hate all that "mccain is

kicking Obama's ass". I know better than to believe it but thank you for this thread, Kerry.

11. Obama is winning this because he is responding to all of McCain's attacks in a clear

level headed way, while McCain appears his same erratic, nasty self.

[Kablooie]

12. Uh oh. We're in BIG TROUBLE!

NOT!!!

14. Leave the forum? Are you an admin or mod now? Let me know. nt

[PresidentObama]

15. Nope, neither. I guess I don't like people knocking our nominees performance when he did GREAT.

Sorry you would rather let him get bashed in threads that suggested McCain was winning the debate.
