Debate: concessions 0

Okay, Obama tags McCain for voting against renewable energy 23 times, which is fine. But in the process he concedes offshore drilling, he concedes nuclear, he concedes clean coal.

Why play on your opponents' ground? Over and over again, Obama starts out by conceding and then backing away. It comes off as defensive. Argh.
