Wow. McCain looks rotten and nasty and uncomfortable. Nixon 1960.

I just came downstairs from putting my kid to bed, so I have missed a lot so far. But hot damn, McCain looks ROTTEN. And Obama is smooth and smart and cool and well-spoken.

[speedoo]

1. That stupid grin is a loser.

And not meeting Obama's gaze is an even bigger loser.

[terrya]

2. It's astonishing how Nixonlike he's appearing.

Ugh.

[Cybergata]

3. He is trying to look like Reagan, but . . .

coming out Nixon. It takes him forever to say anything!

[Fran Kubelik]

4. Obama just said something about "staring into his eyes and seeing his soul"

He wasn't talking about McCain, but he could have been.

5. Obama just said something about "staring into his eyes and seeing his soul"

He wasn't talking about McCain, but he could have been.

6. He's the Cryptkeeper

[City Lights]

7. I said on another thread that I thought he looked like he was decomposing.

Ick.

[Fran Kubelik]

8. Or embalmed.

[Ilsa]

9. Sen. McKeel-over. nt

11. HA!

[Kixel]

10. I listened to most of this on NPR

I thought McCain was doing better than the folks on here did (to a non-political junkie, I think Obama is doing well from my personal prospective). Watching it with visual is totally different. I think the hand gestures really make a difference-he is much more animated.

It's interesting. I agree, it must be like the Nixon/Kennedy debate. Yeah! I'm feeling much better now.
