Second questions, how will the fiscal recorery package help people? McCain did not answer that question at all in any way.

Barack is more in tune with the economy issues - and has a clearer perspective and more specifics.

not just chanting "reform" - he is actually definng his plan - now not everyone can grasp the entire problem because its over most of our heads - Barack has a plan lined out.

McCain is talking about working with Lieberman and coming up a plan and looking at rhetoric and "talking" to watchdog organizations.

BUT WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NOW MCCAIN?

another non answer answer from mccain.

...And how about eliminating capital gains taxes and slashing corporate income taxes (while plugging all those ridiculous loopholes)? If you want to see money gushing back into this country, those would be a fine way to start.

And here are two senators who are IN FREAKIN' CONGRESS and have the power to do those things. Of course, Obama can't be held too responsible...he's only been there for a short time.

This was Brokaw's way of trying to control the debate. Initially, there never was time for Barack to do a follow-up, and he allowed McCain to use up time in the early parts of the debate without calling time. When Barack tried to do it - there was never enough time.

Barack - then figured it out, and ignored Brokaw, and made his own time!

Hurrah - Barack!!!!
