The debate transcript is here.CNN just conducted an Opinion Research telephone poll. Obama beat McCain by big margins:
The debate: 52% to 38%
Iraq: 52% to 47%
Economy: 58% to 37%
And about McCain denying Henry Kissinger said that U.S. should have talks with Iran with pre-conditions. Here is the proof:
Five Former Secretaries of State Have Endorsed Talking to Iran
Barack Obama supports tough, direct presidential diplomacy with Iran without preconditions. And despite John McCain's objections, so do five former Secretaries of State, as well as the Bush Administration. Just last week, ABC News reported:
Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger today told an audience in Washington, DC that the U.S. should negotiate with Iran "without conditions" and that the next President should begin such negotiations at a high level.
Finally remember this historical moment? After the signing of the Declaration of Principles on Palestinian self-government (1993),
U.S. President Bill Clinton, facilitator of the agreement, shakes hands with Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestinian leader Yasir 'Arafat. See the pic below.
Open thread!

I sure am glad to see the poll numbers, as I didn't think Obama was a strong as he could have been. I thought McCain was condescending. "You don't know the difference between strategy and tactics."
He flaunted his so-called "experience" and was pretty smug about it, even though he really was not calling the shots either in the military or out.
Prefacing his remarks with "You just don't understand..." Obama needs to get angry, take the moral high ground--especially when it comes to the costs of war in human life and the dollar amounts wasted.
No one knows what will happen in four days much less four weeks or four years from now. What programs would you cut? I think was unfair, so much has been cut already. People are struggling.
Services are hard-pressed. I think the world has seen one cowboy too many. They are not going to want a Maverick.
Mccain forgot to wear his flag pin. He also forgot the middle class and he was wrong about supporting veterans. McCain hardly looked at Obama during the debate, his body language said it all...smug, arrogant, yet childish. We need a leader who can communicate with the world and doesn't let his temper get the best of him.
McCain lives too much in the past, we need a leader that will wisely lead us out of this mess left by Bush. McCain is more of the same.
BTW, Biden was awesome in the interviews after the debates and where was Palin? (in a bar according to some reports)
