Presidential Debate 1

After watching the first presidential debate, I feel Obama was the clear winner. McCain seemed to stutter a lot and deflect questions frequently. I feel that the candidates both did too much back and forth, especially on earmarks. Most Americans probably dont even know what those are. If they get too techniqual, they may alienate voters. However overall, Obama did a great job projecting his views on spending, foreign policy, and taxes.

I hope that the next debate will cover more issues like healthcare and our deteriorating economic conditions. I am interested to hear about both candidates plans for turning the market around and solving our credit crisis. I would also like to hear the candidates views on moral issues like death penalty, abortion, and gay marriage.
