Please, everyone. Chill out.

It's really embarrassing.

I can remember Bush getting his ass totally kicked in a debate with Gore and in a debate with Kerry.

Do you know what the Bush campaign response was?

"Check the box."

And we know the ultimate outcome.

Chill.

It's going to be fine.

Really.

1. While I understand what you are saying, and I'm not really upset...

The difference is they were stuffing the box.

I actually think Obama did better than many people here think. Yes that crowd reacted to McLame more, but that was his base. Obama did well if won any of them.

2. Exactly. Obama was there to steal votes...

...that McCain already had in the bag. I think he did a good job of appealing to those most likely to jump the fence.

3. I agree.

And my point wasn't that Obama got his ass kicked or anything of that sort.

But if you hadn't seen the debate and you were just reading posts here, you would think that it was doomsday or something.
