Obama had a bad moment when he was reminded that his raising the cap on ss witholding would be raising a tax on people he had just pledged not to raise taxes on.
I expect that clip will come back to haunt him.

Bullshit as usual. But what should we expect from thinly veiled hit jobs.

If I may digress for a brief moment, an Obama supporter (a very nice one) called me yesterday. We had a pleasant conversation. I told him I'd vote for either in November and that their stated goals are extremely similar, their congress will be the same for either, and it doesn't seem to make a large amount of difference.

When in fact there's a huge difference between Obama and Hillary. Obama DOES NOT support predatory lending; he DOES NOT back corporate interests over those of workers; he DOES NOT do the insurance industry's bidding and he DOES NOT take oil money.

Obama gives a better speech. Hillary does better when answering questions;

In fact Hillary does far WORSE when it comes to answering questions. She obfiscates constantly, distracts when she can and lies even when answering right away.

I think (and this is just an impression) that she has a better command of a wider range of facts than he does.

Maybe that's because she's been in the senate longer, the committees she's on, or such.

She's only been in seven years. And most of that time was spent supporting the extreme right wing on economic and foriegn policy.

When they got to the issue questions, the differences between the two were very slight.

The differences between either of them and McCain are quite huge.
Who won this debate? The American people. Either of these candidates will make a much better president than will McCain.
If we can all unite behind our nominee, our nominee should win the White House.
If the supporters of either refuse to vote for the other, McCain will likely be our next president.
I would ask everyone to take another look at their voting records. You'll find Hillary and Obama have virtually similar records, with rare differences. That's where the 'rubber meets the road", is it not?
