Obama Takes Round Two

Well, round two is definitely going to Obama. He was clear, concise, and on point with all the questions. McCain, on the other hand, rambled, went off topic, and spoke in generalities, except when he was attacking specious claims as to Obama's political positions.

I did notice when the event was over that McCain and his wife split rather quickly after a few handshakes, but Obama and his wife are still there as I post this (which is 20+ minutes after the "debate" [if you could call it that]concluded).

UPDATE: First off, just so all my readers know, I watch C-Span for most political information, not CNN, MSNBC, FOX or any mainstream news channel. While the C-Span crew was interviewing one 21 year old Independent about who he would vote for, aside from stating he was now leaning toward Obama, he said he needed to go home and do more research on the two candidates. That struck a chord with me, because, that is what I think is driving this election -- the ability for the voter to access the internet for their research, and not rely on what television pundits want to tell them they should know about the two candidates (or their running mates).
