The Forum tonight: Advantage to Obama
Obama came across as thoughtful and inspiring -- as a guy who thinks big thoughts and like to talk about them in a respectful way. McCain, for the most part, threw out red meat for the base and tried to get applause.

Advantage: Obama.

After tonight, a lot of people will have a hard time believing the right-wing talking points about Obama and his views.

People will come away knowing two things:

1) That Obama IS a Christian and a thoughtful guy.

2) That "Maverick John McCain" has thrown in his lot with those who would imprison (or maybe execute) abortion doctors and women who have abortions.

1. I agree with your assessment but
(you knew there would be a but) the MSM will portray a very different picture of the forum and most peopel didn't and won't ever see the forum and will only decide based on media reports.

4. MSM cared not for content - just liked that McCain "told stories." HA
Yep, he told some stories, all right.
