SLAM DUNK!!!!!

John McCain so over shadowed BO last night it was like watching Roberto Durand fight "danger" from Million Dollar Baby.

Rick did an outstanding job of moderating.......asked very pointed and tough questions and showed the world the difference between a "lawyer" and a president!

Now those are the words from a Fox reporter.

Anyone who would vote for Obama now has got to have rocks in their head.

His line about abortion "That is beyond my paygrade" is classic.

I hope this is replayed over and over and over!!!!

I thought so too.

I thought it was very evident that Obama was well "practiced" on what answers he should give.

Now did this forum radically change anyones opinion? Can I get a witness? Pro or against?

Do we have any brave "left leaning Christians" that thought Obama was the man for the job to have eyes (see the light) opened last night? Or are you still undecided and/or still voting for him?

Or possible strong McCain supporters (cough, cough) that were offended or radically changed either way because of last nights forum.

Curious.

I agree.... After hearing some of Obama's remarks, it clearly shows he has not got what it takes to lead this country. John McCain was over the top, his remarks proves him to be the strong leader republican's were hoping for.

Ron, the cleaners called - your Rick Warren PJs are ready for pickup!

I was skeptical of the whole Rick Warren thing. But as I watched, I was impressed. He was very fair in his questioning and asked some really great questions!

We only got to see the re-broadcast of the McCain part. Missed all of Obama's part. I enjoyed the way they did it and thought it was very well done.

I don't like McCain, but did think he did a good job. I hope his actions match up with his words.

I am watching the Obama part now. This guy has all the vids on youtube, and the audio is quite good.

I didn't see it, but here's an article that has an interesting, and hopefully accurate, take on it.

dolfan,
That article had some funny messages from anger Democrats..

Story Highlighted Democrat Forum Post:
*******

"We have been here before. You don't bring Karate to a gun fight. You bring an Uzzi. McCain brought an Uzzi. Obama brought a pocket knife and got ambushed. It's time to stop this crap.

His answer "above my pay grade" will be in an ad tomorrow. He appeared to give non answers to me. And he must have said uh and um a hundred times!

OBAMA GOT CREAMED...NO OTHER WAY TO LOOK at it!"

*****

This was so funny. I was curious if Dr. Ron posted this on that Democrat Forum to just stir them up? haha.

I liked McCains more direct answers to the questions asked, rather than making an answer correct for all sides.

I just wish he was a bit younger.

I was just informed that originally, Rick Warren was going to sell tickets to this event.....then he was told that the Dems were buying blocks of tickets to put the majority of the crowd on his side.

Rick found out.....canceled all ticket sales except for 5% and divided them equally between "registered" dems and reps.

He gave his volunteer staff free seating ....called all high school principles in the area and had them bring the top 4 students from their senior classes to the event.

He took his staff into a special meeting after the fact and said...."don't get the big head about all this stuff" We are going back to doing what we do.....win souls for Christ.!

I am glad he thinks !!!! Would to God others did the same. Knowing him personally, I like that he is a thinker first .....then a doer.....

Man the fallout from this is unbelieveable!

Obama is getting nailed about his abortion thing and McCain is looking better all the time as a decisive, intelligent, leader!

While MC was not my choice, he Clearly is the only choice now!

Every talk show and newcast I see is talking about this.
