Norah O'Donnell said McCain had to do well in tone and temperament, & McCain had a very strong

[jenmito]

night. :wtf:

[City Lights]

1. I heard that last night and reacted the same way. nt

[ErinBerin84]

2. good god, McCain looked about ready to boil over for me.

[jenmito]

Exactly! He kept smirking angrily, moving around like he wanted to punch Obama in the

face, and couldn't even LOOK at him.

[Kookaburra]

3. Pregnancy hormones are messing with her mind.

You get a little loopy when you're pregnant. My doc said it was hormones doing it.

[jenmito]

8. She just HAD a baby...

She's not pregnant again, is she?

[AspenRose]

17. She had her baby in July

[jenmito]

25. She's not pregnant again, is she?

[AspenRose]

30. I don't think so

:shrug:

[Mz Pip]

4. Yeah, not looking at

your opponent and grimacing most of the time shows how stong you are in tone and temperament.

Nobody buys that Norah.

[jenmito]

9. I bet anyone who SAW the debate didn't buy it. n/t

[Mz Pip]

12. That was the first thing

my husband commented on, even before the after debate commentary began. He thought it was very negative and disrespectful.

He didn't have to have it pointed out to him and if he didn't you can be sure that there were millions more just like him who had the same reaction.

[jenmito]

15. Yeah...

anyone who saw the debate probably felt that way.

[frickaline]

5. she sounded like a total idiot.

I was wondering if she watched the same debate as the rest of us.

[jenmito]

10. Sad that it seemed like she was going to say that no matter WHAT happened...

sort of like the pre-debate pic declaring McCain won the debate.

[frickaline]

18. Yep that's exactly how it felt.

[undeterred]

6. For McCain, that was restrained.

Compared to a normal person, that was a condescending, rude, sarcastic, asshole muttering under his breath and about to explode in a rage.

[jenmito]

11. For a president, it wasn't.

I think many people will see how un-presidential he looked.

[undeterred]

19. He has gotten away with this shit for so long,

he thinks he can still get away with it.

[av8rdave]

7. Everything is relative. McSame supporters are overjoyed

That their man didn't have a complete, out of control, two-year-old quality temper tantrum. Measured by that yardstick, he did do well.

Measured by the yardstick applied to normal people, he sucked. He was arrogant and condescending.

[jenmito]

13. Too bad Norah didn't put it that way. It's accurate.

:hi:

[gordianot]

20. McCain was clearly angry, pouted it should be building to a blowup.

The buttons are there and I hope Obama is willing to push them. If McCain would have looked at Obama's smiles he would have lost it. McCain's eye contact was so poor they are bound to work at it. If Obama continues to smile McCain will have a melt down when he actually sees Obama's lack of hostility.

[av8rdave]

21. I don't think it will take much to push him over the edge

Keeping my fingers crossed!

[bigtree]

14. I'm not surprised, if they're repeating that clip of her

She's ALL McCain has . . . his performance was shit

[jenmito]

16. They didn't repeat that clip. I'm talking about when she said it last night...

I should've been clearer. :hi:

[bigtree]

22. she's on now. spinning what Obama didn't say into some advantage for McCain

They will prop the old man up until we knock him completely to the floor and hold him there ourselves

[jenmito]

26. Oh, great.

:eyes:

[ecstatic]

23. I think people who think McShame won think debates are about who is nastier

and gets more digs in. On the other hand, people who think Obama won are more concerned with the substance of the responses. I'm starting to think that's where the disconnect is coming from.

[jenmito]

27. Hopefully, if that's the case,

those people were gonna vote for McCain anyway.

[AlCzervik]

24. You know who loved Obama last night---Mark Halpern, swear to god, coulda knocked

me over with a feather.

[jenmito]

28. That IS big! n/t

[AlCzervik]

29. you know else, John Harwood, i saw him on Washington Week, he gave McCain some

points but he thought Obama did well---passed the test,

[mitchum]

31. She can spin all she wants; NO ONE listens to her

[GoesTo11]

32. I wish him two more strong nights like Friday

in the remaining debates.

[Cha]

33. Remember the mediaWhore$ want a

fucking horserace.

Roger Ebert wrote a column in the Chicago Sun Times about mccain's "Bad Manners" but the last I checked it got scrubbed.

All the people I've come in contact with are talking about mccain's bad manners.

[spanone]

34. nora o'donnell said....bwahahahahaaa she's a talking airhead at best
