Obama vs McCain: round 1
I watched the debate, not live but from the videos on Youtube. I think both in the economy and the war strategies McCain seemed to be connected with the same old Bush, tax cuts for the riches and same (failing iraqi) tactics (which for McCain does not include China and Russia) against Iran. On the other hand, although Obama seemed more on the point, he was way too cold without punishing McCain for the awful week he has had (it was not mentioned even once !! ). This may hurt him a lot. On issues like foreign policy, McCain was clearly up in terms of what he knew (although Obama caught him on Zapatero, who, for the Republican, was the chief of the zapatist movement). What will hurt McCain about this is the continuing referring to old stories, which make him look older than what he is. After all, i think it's a draw, although all polls (besides Fox's, but that's expected) give Obama winning with a large margin (for many it's been a draw). Probably the CBS' one is the most relevant, done on the undecided, with a 40% Obama and 22% McCain, 38% tie.

Ritengo positivo l'incontro Obama vs Mcain. Dovrebbero essercene di questi incontri in TV in Italia.
Si certo, il problema e' che poi alla fine si discute di poco, ma almeno, nonostante tutti i belletti, si ha il senso di che pasta siano fatti i due candidati..
La cultura della trasparenza e' molto anglosassone e poco italiana..
