McCain sounds nervous.

I'm actually impressed by his warmth off the bat.
what about the shots?
we're supposed to take a shot when McCain says "my friends" and when Obama says "change" i haven't heard either yet.
I'm just sipping brandy regardless.
Jim Lehrer seems to be egging them on to throw down with each other, and neither seems to want to do that.
"fundamental" seems to be the shot word from both candidates.

absolutely. oh, and jim just called him out.

I think they're afraid they'll look bad.
McCain's bear joke flops big time. Even though no laughing is allowed.

I can't tell a joke without a laugh track. A welcome addition to the debate?
The Wall Street/Main Street analogy is old already.
I think so. After laughing at a president for so long, it'd be nice to laugh with one.
Also - solution to the economic bailout. Take back the $300 billion McCain's tax cuts and eliminate Obama's $18 billion in earmarks. That'll get us almost halfway to $700 billion.
I can't believe Obama said "Original" when he could have said "fundamental"
Jim Lehrer - is he tired of being a moderator? I mean he's been to this dance a few times, but yikes.
I'm finding it really hard to engae with what either of them are saying.
gas? jobs? taxes, i dunno. i thought this was about killing the TSA or bombing Iran or something.
Oh. MY FRIENDS. do a shot
Woohoo! I'm poor enough to not have an Obama tax increase!
chaptal wrote The Wall Street/Main Street analogy is old already.
no kidding. the last time I was at wall street I made out with a couple of drunk lesbians.
The last time i was on main street, I almost hit a jay walking hooker.
my point is, the analogy doesn't really connect here in the heartbeat of Ohio.
Oh, now Lehrer DOESN'T want McCain to talk directly to Obama. Make up your mind, Jimmy!
When did it start being called a 'financial rescue plan' instead of a bailout?
I would be interested in hearing both of these men articulate their understanding of their party's platform in the context of the world today.
just something to bring up the passion level.
