I’ll have more written reaction to the debate this evening but, you can listen the podcast of my BlogTalkRadio appearance last night for nearly 2 hours of post-debate commentary.
I thought in the meantime I’d post a few links.
McCain Puts Obama On The Defensive
This time, John McCain kept Barack Obama on the defensive.
The feisty Republican tried hard to find a lifeline Wednesday night, challenging his Democratic rival at every turn over his truthfulness, associations and record.
By that measure, McCain won the last debate of the 2008 campaign.
McCain-Palin 2008 Communications Director Jill Hazelbaker issued the following statement on last night’s Presidential Debate:
“John McCain won tonight’s debate with strong, clear straight talk about setting a new direction for our country and fighting for working families. He outlined a specific, bold plan for creating jobs, helping those near retirement, keeping people in their homes, curbing spending, lowering health care costs and achieving energy independence. He vowed to fight for ‘Joe the Plumber’ every day he is President and he affirmed his belief that we shouldn’t raise taxes just to ‘spread the wealth.’ While Barack Obama is measuring the drapes and campaigning against a man not even on the ballot, John McCain demonstrated that he has the experience, judgment, independence and courage to fight for every American.”
Joe The Plumber: Obama’s tax plan infuriates me.
Karl Rove says Obama “hasn’t closed the sale.” I agree.
The Secret Service says the allegation that someone yelled “kill him” in reference to Obama at a McCain-Palin rally is unfounded.
