Live blogging Debate v2.0

8:59 - Here we go...

"Did we hear the fine? Hehehehehe" Knob.

9:01 - McCain's record of foreign intervention as a positive? Are you kidding? Sept. 12, 2001: McCain says we need to go to Iraq. Good one, buddy.

Good job on this one Obama! Point out his shit. (For more info: click)

9:04 - Brokaw is sooooo annoying.

9:06 - Obama's notion of international cooperation? Way to logical! Rabble, rabble, rabble!

McCain: "Al Qaeda would have increased influence" b/c Obama would have set a time table? Are you kidding me?

McCain as a cool hand? Ha. That is so pathetic and laughable at the same time. He's a hot head (see that Rolling Stones article above)

9:10 - Obama kind of dodges the question about entering Pakistan, but does a good job of answering his own question, maybe?

McCain's answer? CNN's flat line seems to tell the story.... Afghan freedom fighters==Muslim jihadists (just so you know John!)

9:13 - Brokaw is such a tool

9:14 - Obama's mentioning of "Bomb bomb bomb Iran"!! Moar pleaze! McCain's smile went away faster than deep fried food at the State Fair...

9:18 - Obama's Pakistan/Afghanistan plan a year ago, A YEAR AGO, is the plan being espoused by Bush and Co. right now! Talk about foresight!

9:22 - I can't say I'm a fan of Obama's "Russia plan" because there doesn't really seem to be one. But his thought process seems to fit into his overall general rhetoric and foreign policy plan, so I guess I'll grudgingly give him the benefit of the doubt

9:24 - McCain does seem to do well with the Russia question, but that's been his big point of reference for foreign policy for his life.

9:25 - If Iran attacked Israel, the UN would shit its pants. Iran, I think, will not openly attack Israel outright because it would be an incredibly stupid thing to do.

THE IRANIAN PRESIDENT IS NOT THE HEAD OF THE IRANIAN GOVERNMENT POLICY! SCIENCE-F'ING-CHRIST!

And a "League of Democracies" is a terrible idea. No one would join it because it would just be an extension of American idealism and would be American-run and anyone who falls out of line could geeeet out

9:28 - This Obama fella with his preventive diplomacy and foresight! Whooee! What a sucker!

A simple question: Which candidate has looked Presidential so far in this, and the previous, debate?

9:31 - This last question is just offensive on a lot of philosophical and epistemological levels. Patty from NH should quit life, because the question is a non-question. "What don't you know and how will you learn it?" Answer: "I don't know, and with pop-up books?"

9:34 - Brokaw sucks SO hard.

9:35 - My reaction: Obama did indeed seem much more presidential and offered (from what I saw) much more cogent and thought out answers than McCain. He seemed to be a Palin v2.0 (spouting off talking points, but doing it well)
