10:24  Two names McCain has not uttered, iirc:  "Bush" and "Palin."  (Pach)

10:23  Brokaw channeling Reagan Is Russia an evil empire? Obama says
evil behavior, McCain says maybe ... oh my!  (Siun)

10:23  If this were a prizefight it would have been stopped. If it were a daycare, John McCain would have been given a juice box and a cookie. (Thers)

10:22  Obama more articulate on Russia, becoming more confident.  Can't wait to hear the pundits talk about how this wasn't a game changer.   Obama is closing this out.  (Scarecrow)

10:22  Obama is talking about rebuilding Soviet satellite economies?  Hello, we have some work to do closer to home!  Would someone please send Obama a book about FDR?  (Pach)

10:22  Oh, glory. McCain is Eddie Haskell.  We need to make the Russians understand that we won't have bad human rights behavior. Happily, the chinese don't exist.  (Julia)

10:21  Brokaw only mentions time when it is Obama's time to speak and not McCain.  (Suz)

10:20  At what point do we send in a doctor to intervene--like a boxing ref--because apparently McCain can no longer breathe?  (ew)

10:20  McCain really needs new material - hauls out his K.G.B. in Putin's eyes line again ... yawn.  (Siun)

10:18  Obama clearing winning the exchanges on Pakistan, and McCain is fumbling in his replies.  (Scarecrow)

10:18  McCain utters his first "Obama is correct" on some bits and pieces, before putting his hand in his front pocket and chanting "Surge!"  (Pach)

10:18  Via Ambinder, the RNC's already whining: "10:16: The RNC sends around reporter's e-mail criticizing the debate format. As in -- this is not a REAL town hall meeting, so if McCain's not doing as well as he should be doing, it's not his fault."  (Blue Texan)

10:17  CNN voter meter drops every time McCain starts to talk ... his national security faux chops are not winning voters.  (Siun)
