Presidential Debate

The first article I read stated that "McCain was supposed to have the edge." In the article, Obama is also said to be more comfortable and confident when it came down to economy. But when the topic changed to War/Iraq, McCain showed to be more dominant. Hmm, I wonder why.. The author of this article is neutral about both parties because he states that the debate was a tie and that both party had their strong points in the debate. McCain also tried to convince the viewers that Obama was unready and inexperienced. But that was very ignorant of him since the author of this article considered to be a tie.

The second article first talks about how each canidate tried to advertise their campaign by dissing the other party. Obama's commercial stated that McCain hasn't talked about the "middle-class" during the whole debate. Meanwhile, McCain's commerical showed clips of Obama during the election, agreeing to some of McCain's points and arguments. Also in this article, 51% was said of viewers to think that Obama did the better job, while 38% thought that McCain was more dominant. The problem with that was, these questions were asked from people who only watched the debate, and most of them were Democrats. Overall, this author was neutral and state that either party was more dominant than the other.
