Did anyone else's brain come to attention and scream "What!?" when Lehrer asked of both candidates how each would handle a certain situation "...when you rule the country as President."
That comment DID get my attention - and not in a good way.
I'd say McCain narrowly edged out Obama . . .he'd have done better, IMHO, if he'd taken some of the advice from Newt and (can't believe I'm writing this) Dick Morris about the bailout, but perhaps he's waiting for debate 2 or 3 which ought to focus more on domestic issues.
McCain also seemed to talk too fast, as if he were trying to fit in too many talking points into his time. Hey, John, it's QUALITY, not QUANTITY, that counts.
Next time Obama brings up Bush, McCain can have a line something like "You know, they say soldiers are always fighting the last war . . . it sounds like Obama's campaign is stuck in 2004."
