Following the Twittersphere Through the Presidential Debates

Twitterers had strong feelings about Iraq. AmiraAlHussaini said:

Fehlauer, from Brazil, also commented on McCain's strategy of “winning” in Iraq:

Much of the debate was centered on Iran, and Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. AmiraAlHussaini is amazed that John McCain cannot pronounce Ahmadinejad:

Brazilian Fehlauer thinks that McCain has it all wrong when it comes to Iran:

lrakoto, from Madagascar, is with Obama in that Ahmadinejad is perhaps not top dog in Iran:

Reacting to John McCain's comments about former Russian President Vladimir Putin, Danish-Puerto Rican Solanasaurus joked:
