John McCain's achilles heel in the debate

seemed to be Kissinger. I loved how his reaction to Obama saying he 'agreed with Bush 90% of the time, including his policies that increased our spending over the last 8 years' was his usual "listen, the American people know I'm not miss congeniality. I'm a Maverick gosh darnit!" bit. Slogans aren't exactly the best foundation for your debate.


While McCain was overly aggressive Obama didn't seem to be aggressive enough, letting McCain drive the "He doesn't understand" line a little far and missing a few opportunities to rip open McCain. They both seemed unprepared. Going to washington was a bad move, but I think Obama came out on top.
