Post-Presidential Debate Review

hofstra1016.jpg

Author and political expert Nick Ragone reviewed the last night's presidential debate for us.

He said that there was no clear winner of the debate. Senator John McCain did not have a "knock-out punch," but his performance last night will help him in swing states such as Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan. Ragone also said poll margins between McCain and Senator Barack Obama may close.

McCain was also on the attack. He spoke about Obama's relationship with William Ayers, ACORN and referenced a conversation Obama had with "Joe the Plumber" -- a man who he met during the campaign trail.

However, according to Ragone, Obama looked presidential last night and he has held a double digit lead against McCain in polls. Obama did not make any jaffes last night.

Moderator Bob Schaffer did a very good job as well. Ragone said he asked excellent questions and follow-ups. As a result, he was able to drive an interesting debate. Ragone, along with other political pundits, agree that last night's presidnetial debate was the best of the three.

So far, all the conclusions by all the pundits are
totally based upon POLLS. Not a single actual vote
has been cast yet. Obama supporters gush at how
well their man has done in the debates, which proves
once again that Obama is a good debater and a good
speaker. It doesn't say anything about his character,
judgement, or what kind of a leader he would be.
I still would rather trust a man who would not sell out
his fellow prisoners, even during 5 years of torture,
than to trust a man who betrayed a 20 year friendship,
for personal ambition. And ... regarding this election,
until people actually vote ... it ain't over till it's over!
