A bunch of us gathered in our offices in Dallas to watch the first debate between John McCain and Barack Obama, and participate in an on-line chat with the New Energy Army.

Like you, we weren’t sure on Friday morning whether the debate would even take place, but I decided we would bring the team in and get ready just in case.

We produced some new ads to remind everyone who would be tuning in why the Pickens Plan is so important. If you missed the ads on the air, here’s one of them:

We opened up the chat line about 30 minutes into the debate. Your response was so positive that our website was overwhelmed. But a whole lot of us got to talk about what we saw and heard.

I don’t have an opinion on who won or who lost – that’s not what I’m doing this year. I DO have an opinion on whether the candidates answered the questions about having an energy plan.

They didn’t.

I answered questions on-line for about a half hour after the debate. I think we had a lively discussion but you can see for yourself if you want to check out the chat replay on the website here: http://www.pickensplan.com/chat/

We have to turn the heat up on these candidates and get them to focus on Energy as one of the three major issues in this campaign along with national security and the economy.

Energy is the only one of those three issues which connects the other two.
