McCain's condescension will come to dominate coverage as much as Al Gore's sighs did

[BeyondGeography]

Failing a gaffe or a youtube-quality smackdown, style always trumps substance in these debates, and that will prove to be the case with this debate. All the talking heads are picking up on Gramp's open contempt for Obama as opposed to Barack's civility. McCain will be called on to behave better the next round (just as Gore was), Obama will be just fine as is.

1. Please let that be so...

if it happens the election is over, because McLame can't change that behavior.

2. Oh no, it was the creepy smile. My husband and I were already betting you would

see that creepy smile on SNL tomorrow night.

4. Oh god at one point he flashed the smile and did a creepy chuckle...

ugh...

3. Yes, and all those faces while Obama was talking. Looked like he was either holding in or pushing

out a fart half the time.

5. I don't know that it will dominate coverage but it will have an impact

on voters. And not a good one.
