The bad news is one of these guys is going to win
Reviewing the first presidential debate of 2008
Well the first debate of the 2008 presidential election is in the books. One thing that we can look at as a positive is the fact that informed citizens with sensible ideas are not possessed of the megalomania required to endure a presidential run. Both campaigns are claiming victory after the candidates spent almost two hours talking in circles. Your humble scribe scored this one a decisive defeat for both candidates. McCain seemed to employ a high risk strategy of giving his answers in hard to interpret generalities. Obama countered with the unconventional tactic of responding to McCain’s questionable ideas with eloquent, decisive, egg headed nonsense. One would think that a prudent strategy would be to offer ideas that have a better chance of succeeding than those offered by McCain but you have to hand it to the young Senator from Illinois for this bold strategy.
