Great points!
“...I think people who had reservations about McCain’s age, temperament and ability to perform had their doubts laid to rest...”
Yes, I agree. He did a good job, there is still room for improvement but now a benchmark exists against which his assistants can mold preparations around for the next debate. (I doubt Senator McCain has “handlers”.) It is truly astounding, particularly when we realize what this 72 year old man had been doing the last three days, too. Debating can be exhausting.
G0, JOHNNY, GO!!
..but last night grew a new respect (as Obama should have done by at least addressing him by his title...Senator
Senator McCain was tireless, held up strongly next to this younger (& definitely less experienced ) man.....
knew his facts well ....from experience (not debate cramming like Obama)...
..was calm, low key and had a folksy quality at times that reminded me of Ronald Reagan.
Bravo Senator McCain.
I agree with you. Also, Obama lied about Henry Kissinger. Here is a direct quote from Kissinger in the morning paper in response.
“Senator McCain is right. I would not recommend the next President of the United States engage in talks with Iran at the Presidential level. My views on this issue are entirely compatible with the views of my friend Senator John McCain. We do not agree on everything, but we do agree that any negotiations with Iran must be geared to reality.”

Moment that caught my eye:
A list of national security issues was being summarized and wrapped up by McCain, and I said out loud (to the TV), “Don’t forget the borders...” And not 2 seconds later McCain DID add at the end, “...including the borders” to his list of security concerns.
THANK YOU SENATOR MCCAIN.
