I saw McCain’s half and then I fell asleep. How did Obama do? I thought McCain gave some good answers, even if I don’t think he actually will do anything much as far as national service for the non-military minded. He pretty much said he wants it to come from the people with minimal government framing.

Then I nodded off. So…any opinions?
