Debate #2

Source Accessed at 11:20 pm on October 7, 2008

Tonight was the second Presidential debate out of three. This debate was a town hall setting which let the candidates roam around the stage and answer on the spot. I wasn't able to watch it but I have read multiple articles about the debate that have already been posted. This debate was evidently a good one with McCain saying "Nailing down Senator Obama's various tax proposals is like nailing Jello to the wall," with Obama responding with a crack about McCain's campaign bus "I think the Straight Talk Express lost a wheel on that one."


Without actually watching the debate, I can't really tell how the article is framing or swaying what actually happened. The article practically told it how it was. It brought in some quotes here and there and also some facts about what was talked about. Evidently, the main topics of tonight were the economy and taxes. I truthfully don't know what else to talk about not being able to watch the debate. I am right now downloading the full debate online. I am going to watch the debate, and hopefully by Friday there will be another topic about the debate that I can express my views. But for right now, I don't know what to say other than the facts in the article. Look for a better blog on Friday with many of my viewpoints on this debate.
