This is an excellent analysis of the first Obama - McCain presidential debate written by Dr. George Friedman, founder of Strategic Forecasting. Reprinted with permission.

A Political Limerick

There are a few key differences between the two candidates and it's important to understand those differences.

McCain or Obama change? So far I see no change from any elections I've seen over the past 40 years. Each is running their campaign on the others weakness, not on what they plan to do to make change, so where do we go?

Who do you want Obama or McCain? I am not fond of either...

This debate revealed nothing new to those that are following the presidential election.
