Barack Obama won the first 2008 presidential debate hosted by Jim Lehrer.

Hearkening back to my NFL days, Obama delivered, pure and simple.

The federal government is most responsible for the current financial crisis.

Deregulation is only good for the greedy, and is never good in the long run.

John McCain and Barack Obama should not suspend their campaigns until Congress passes a bailout plan.

Excuses, excuses. If someone can't campaign while dealing with the nation's problems, that someone should drop out.

Contraceptives should be covered by health insurance plans.

Honestly, there should be laws saying that insurance companies may not refuse coverage on approved drugs, period.

Anti-trust regulators should not allow the Google-Yahoo! search partnership.

A monopoly on information is never a good thing.

The Treasury Department should block severance packages for Fannie and Freddie corporate executives.

Allowing severance packages sets a more dangerous precedent than the Fed stepping into this situation in the first place.

Sarah Palin is not qualified to be the President of the United States.

I question her qualifications for being a mother, let alone public office of any kind.

The legal drinking age should be 21.

Or older. Youths already don't receive enough guidance from parents on alcohol abuse. Decreasing the drinking age would only increase the number of drunk driving incidents among teens.

Quality of programming is having the greatest impact on broadcast television's ratings.

Scripts are far too predictable. Frankly, I was happy when the writers went on strike. I hoped that the time off would have helped them get more creative. Unfortunately doesn't seem that way.

Sarah Palin was a good choice for John McCain's vice presidential candidate.

Only if you're putting the McCain campaign under the adage "give them enough rope and they'll hang themselves." I have no love for McCain, so Palin's a fine choice for him.

Congress should not issue a second round of the 2008 stimulus checks.
