Neither of the canditates saw the golden opportunity to seize the moment.

There would have been a clear cut winner from the moment they had answered that first question.

and they both blew it.

The right answer to that first question would have put one of them into the stratosphere as far as the american people...

and would have instantly alienated them from their party.

There are times when being a Patriot transends that which the party requires.

Neither of them measure up.

Both would make an adequate President. Each has that capability.

This country does not need another ADEQUATE president.

We need a President that is EXCEPTIONAL, FEARLESS, BOLD, and PASSIONATE to protect that most precious of american ideals, Liberty.

Neither of these measure up to that standard... yet.

well that leaves them both out but put mccain a step ahead

not that i like either of them

Nobody is ahead...

They are so busy pushing and shoving they took their eyes off the finish line and started fightin each other stead of just running the race.

the only reason i gave it to mccain is obama lost composure and interrupted several time with anger and discontent in his demeanor

that is not acceptable when it comes to speaking with other leaders of the world

Aye.. agreed.

Neither is not facing the person you are talking to or about.
