EVANS, Ga. - Thousands of TVs in Georgia-Carolina were tuned into the presidential debate and supporters of both candidates held watch parties in Columbia County.

Both John McCain and Barack Obama supporters agreed both candidates had a lot of good points.

Though they all seemed pleased with their respective candidates, neither side was quick to call one the resounding winner.

They said the difference between Obama and McCain came down to their policy positions.

A McCain supporter said he was turned off by Obama's tax plan, saying even if it only raises taxes on the rich, it would hurt everyone.

An Obama supporter said he is most worried about health care and finds reassurance in Obama's plan.
