    I’m listening to this debate, and I must say the immense depth and conviction coming from John McCain is so much in evidence, compared with the empty suit-sounding Obama. Obama deliberately misled that audience about his views on marriage. He claimed he believes it’s about man/woman, but failed to mention he desperately wants to overturn the national Defense of Marriage Act, signed by Clinton even. He forgot to mention he will do everything in his power to see that gay marriage happens. He hemmed and hawed about abortion.

    Please, God, do not let Obama win.
