I also watched the forum and thought that Warren did a great job on the questions. I don't think that I learned anything new about the candidates positions.. well.. I was surprised that McCain and Obama have essentially the same position on a constitutional marriage amendment.. both feel that marriage and civil unions are a state issue.
I was disappointed that McCain felt that "saved and forgiven" was all he had to say about his testimony (still hopig that he will say Jesus some day) before he rehashed the POW cross in the sand story.
A thought that came to me as I watched was that the demeanor of John McCain is very similar to President Bush.. a bit cocky and sanctimonious.. often digressing to campaign stump speech rhetoric. On the other hand I thought that Obama came across a bit more contemplative and humble.. seemed genuinely interested in answering the questions and not giving a speech.
It will be interesting to see if the issues rule the day in this election like they did in 2000 & 2004 or if demeanor will be weighed in as well.
In my 30+ years of voting I don't think that I have been undecided in August.. I am still watching and praying.
Look forward to reading your perspective.. suspect it may be bit different than mine :)
Thanks for giving me an opportunity to debrief the event.

Eric, I'm not sure - you can check out the Saddleback Civil Forum link or perhaps Fox News.
YouTube may have it in chunks.
