Tweetwhere was this taken from?? I heard McCain lost his cool from a few people but I have yet to see it?
TweetJohn McCain gives Barack Obama a master class in foreign policy"
Quote:
John McCain emerged the clear victor from last night's U.S. presidential debate on foreign policy. With the swagger and aggression of an experienced prizefighter, McCain laid punch after punch on his Democrat opponent, after a shaky start discussing the Wall Street financial crisis. After recovering from the opening 20 minutes which focused on economic issues, McCain was in his element discussing the biggest international questions of the day, from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to the looming threats posed by Iran and Russia.
The Arizona Senator exuded confidence and experience, while pouring scorn on Obama's pledge to sit down with Iranian tyrant Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, or his failure to take an immediate strong stance against Moscow when Russian tanks poured into Georgia. McCain reeled off a long list of international leaders he had met in his long career as well as recounting his numerous trips to Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and the Caucasus.
At times, Obama looked more like a freshman in his first debate at the Oxford Union than a candidate for president of the United States. His answers frequently appeared wooden, stilted and over-rehearsed. His knowledge of international affairs came across as superficial, and at times seemed nervously snatched from the pages of a college textbook. McCain spoke overwhelmingly from personal knowledge with an extensive and expansive understanding of modern history. For a 72-year old, Senator McCain looked sharper, more nimble and quick-footed than his far younger opponent.

TweetMcCain didn't lose his cool. He gave several examples of his experience in foreign affairs and even though Obama didn't have experience to counter with he always made a good counter argument. I thought it was a damn good debate. However, if I had to pick a winner I would say it was McCain simply because Obama came across as trying to keep up. Of course, I think McCain had the advantage in the debate simply because he does have experience so if you give Obama a handicap for that Obama did really well.
Neither one I think changed very many minds. I think the V.P. debate will be the one to watch. Biden has a tendency to come across as condescending and that won't mix well with Palin's intelligence.
Tweeti have watched it twice now, and while i wish i could say there was a clear winner i just can't. mccain definitely had the advantage considering the topic; there is no way obama can match him on experience, and mccain certainly drove his responses in that direction.
however, when it comes to specific policy decisions (especially considering the war) obama was able to form a counter argument that seemed to be in line with reality and forward thinking. i don't think mccain can beat him on the war, despite the success of the surge and obama's opposition to it.
YES mccain has tons of experience. unfortunately that experience is not enough to drive him away from the policies of the bush administration, which he is closely tied to despite his "maverick" tagline and bipartisan nature.
mccain also spewed some falsehoods which IMO is a mistake.
i never saw either man loose his cool.
obama f'ed up with all the "john is right" comments. he should have said "i agree with john". play the game obama!
i say mccain gets points because of history and experience, obama gets points because of his effective counter arguments that identify with so many, especially independents.
neither delivered a knockout punch. mccain got very lucky on the timing of this theme, because if it was about the economy he would have been in a tough spot as the majority of voters put the economic situation on the backs of the GOP.
