Very reminiscent of Kennedy Vs. Nixon
I was 12 in 1960 and watched all of the debates. At least McCain wasn't wired, and was able to speak with with some personal authority and intellignece. But OMG, the body language! That tight jaw and straight mouth. Literally speaking through clenched teeth. He was seething. He came across as petty and vindictive.

I am truly blown away by Obama's intelligence, vision, and largeness of spirit. And, his steel.

1. That's the exact analogy I thought of...
Watched on C-Span, where they kept side-by-side closeups of the candidates the entire time...
McCain looked nervous, uncomfortable, kept twitching and shifting his eyes... and never at Obama.
Also, if you're on TV in front of millions of people, you might not want to play with your nose as much.
