Well, of course they gave it. He was preaching to the choir, as we say in Kentucky.

Majorie ——He (McCain) did better than OK. My husband and I watched the ‘debate’ with a party of people. There were approx 30 people present — Democrats, Rebublicans, Independents — black and white — old and young — fat and thin — male and female — wealthy and not so wealthy. Afterwards we all voted on the ‘winner’. It was McCain. A couple of Obama supporters stated that they thought Obama looked ‘lost’ with the questions and his answers were confusing. They also said that he took too long to answer. They were also quick to point out that they were impressed with the sharp answers from McCain. One young man stated that “Obama hit a double but McCain hit a home run on this one”. Today I hear that some in the Obama camp are saying that McCain heard Obama’s answers — that he, in otherwords, ‘cheated’. I’m sure we will hear more of this before the week is over. As for some of the nasty comments here — that is no surprise. We’ve all heard them before. The same thing over and over. I really think that they should convey the same courtesy given to them that was given on the question “Who should obama pick as his VP”? Maybe there were a few comments that all of them might have found distasteful — but the ones posted here go beyond the pale. I have never in my life seen such hate and “downright mean” things said by both male and female. Some of the posters do not surprise me — I expected it of them, however this time, well, I find their discourse nasty and worthy of the gutter. And, I was really suprised and disappointed in the tone of their comments. I really thought this was a website for professional, intelligent, women — some of the comments on this particular subject aren’t worthy to be repeated in a ‘cat house’. Professional? Intelligent? I think not. As far as some of the men on this website — one in particular — there is so much bitterness in all of his posts — I truly worry about him. If we are all going to continue posting on WOW I think we all need to come to some kind of civility on political subjects. Maybe they don’t like the candidate I prefer — I don’t like their’s — can’t we agree to disagree without sounding like a bunch of frauds masquerading as ‘professional intelligent women and men? Example —-If their radio is turned up so loud it annoys others — can’t someone respectfully ask them to please turn it down a notch? I would certainly hope so. Maybe, IMHO we need to try a little harder.
