Obama is on CSpan with AARP and getting a great reception.
He has finished speaking, but his answers to questions are great! Catch it on the next go-round.

2. Now it's McCain.... put on your bullshit goggles...

He just mentioned Palin...very weak response.

8. I keep waiting for the straight talk...
...crickets.

I haven't gotten a straight answer yet. Now he's talking about our brave troops in answer to a question about saving pensions.

I'm glad that the audience response hasn't been anything like it was for Obama, who drew cheers!

One of his lines about a "bridge to nowhere": (instead of building a bridge to nowhere) we should build a bridge to somewhere.

Cute!

5. These people are a tough audience, they've been voting for
a very long time and they know BS when they hear it. I noticed a couple of fat repukes in the front row when Obama was speaking, kept their hands on their laps when everyone else was applauding and cheering. Such miserable people. They loved Obama, and they're a very important voting block. I'm one of them, we know BS when we hear it, McCain will give no answers or new ideas. Gobama..

9. McCain couldn't present his "ideas." Not enough billionaires in the audience to insure a
favorable response.

6. McCain seems to be getting a much cooler
reception than Barack.

7. Great reception for Barack and they even booed when he had to leave. McCain
is getting a much cooler reception so far.
