Unforgivable, not looking Obama in the eye

[Tribetime]

I can't believe this isn't a bigger issue than it is. If McCain can't give Obama any more respect than he did last night, how can he be expected to

work with others that don't agree with him. It is Bush part 3, my way or the highway.

1. It's growing as we speak.

Lack of confidence, self esteem, and maturity. Not good for McCain....old as he is.
This will kill his chances. I don't think he can recover. Even if he kisses Barack's ass now till election day.

2. He practically called Obama "boy" with his body language.

4. It was a huge issue last night on the MSM...and reflected in the "undecideds"...

which for a large part went to Obama...

5. Visuals stick with folks subconsciously

Even if the average person was either not paying close enough attention to their words or was somewhat lost in some of the answers, everybody who watched was, at some level, processing the body language of the candidates. Obama was open, fluid, and willing to engage his opponent with direct eye contact. McCain was stiff, hunched, closed off, and deliberately avoided direct engagement with his opponent. Those are subtle but telling things which will remain with people as they make their choices.
