If I Only Had Popcorn!

Finally a great debate! I really enjoyed the final debate between Sen. Obama and Sen. McCain. I felt like I was in a movie theater watching a comedic drama. It was amazing. Although, if I were actually in a movie theater - I may have been thrown out. I spent a good deal of the debates laughing hysterically out loud about McCain's facial expression and texting my sister Shawn and my classmate Courtney about them.

Bob Schieffer was by far the best of the three moderators that oversaw the presidential debates. He asked the burning personal questions that have made headlines, but have not been formally addressed.

I was also glad that John McCain grew a bit of a backbone during this debate. He stated firmly that he was not George W. Bush. He finally addressed the elephant in the room (Sen. Obama) who he had noticeably and rather uncomfortably avoided communicating with in the past debates. But, I grew rather tired of his inability to speak eloquently and his incessant blinking!

Sen. Obama was cool and collected. It was very much business as usual. Although, I was disappointed in the miscalculation of how many negative ads that the McCain campaign ran.

I don't think this debate was a game changer. Well...at least not for me. I enjoyed it and for the first time I heard some new questions being fielded at these very familiar candidates. Generally, I feel as though I can answer on behalf of both of the candidates because I am so used to their talking points. But, finally I got a little bit of freshness!
