Presidential Debate Live Blog: The Home Front

6:26 McCain on his priorities. "We can work on all of them at the same time." In other words, everything is tied for first?

6:26 Obama on his priorities. Energy #1. Sounds like he actually has a hierarchy. Health care #2. Education #3. Education wasn't one of the options.....It was entitlements. Does that mean entitlements is #4?

6:32 Obama: 9/11. Obama wants to double the peace corps. . . .Interesting because the Peace Corps recently had to cut jobs.

6:35 Obama: Earmarks are about 18 billion of our budget. . . meanwhile McCain is pacing.

6:36 McCain: Trying to pinpoint Obama's tax proposals is like trying to nail down jello to a wall. Interesting visual. McCain looks at Obama...."I got some news. The news is bad." Over-the-shoulder shot of McCain's back and Obama's face. Obama has a "Yeah, duh" look.

6:40 Obama on Social Security and Medicare: We've got a lot of work to do so I don't know if we could get to it in the first two years, but certainly in my first term. "The straight talk express just lost a wheel." Tax policies that benefit the middle class, not the upper class. Ultimately, Obama gave no deadline.

6:42 McCain on Social Security and Medicare: "I'll answer the question." Except....No deadline given either.

6:47 Obama brings up McCain's voting record. McCain voted against renewable fuels 23 times. I like it when they cite facts. We can't drill our way out of the problem. We have to come up with alternatives.

6:50 McCain... keeps calling everyone "My friends." Sneering kind of look. Refers to Obama as "That one."

6:51 Obama... do you believe healthcare should be treated as a commodity? If you don't have health insurance you can buy federal insurance like Senator Obama and I enjoy.

6:54 McCain... let's put healthcare records online. Here's the difference between me and Obama. Want to give every American a $5,000 refundable tax credit. 95% of Americans will get increased funding. Shopping state by state. I may need hair transplants....crickets? Healthcare is a responsibility.

6:57 Obama... I think healthcare should be a right. #1 if you got a healthcare program you like, you can keep it. Small businesses will get a 50% tax credit. McCain voted against children's healthcare...Does that mean he hates kids? Obama did not say how big his fines would be.
