2. There is something seriously wrong with John McCain...

If the poor guy had just switched parties and fought Bush 7 or so years ago instead of slowly turning into Bush! Oh, well....

3. It looked like McCain pointed that Obama should shake Cindy's hand

instead of his. I wonder what he said as he pointed, he was making some kind of comment. Very crass behavior from McCain.

4. CNN even pointed that one out

I guess McStain didn't learn from before, that voters don't like obnoxious behavior. :eyes:

very very strange.

6. Remember Brokaw trying to wrap up?

Didn't they come together, shake hands, and exchange pleasantries at the end? At first, I thought McCain was puttering around, semi-lost, as he wandered into the foreground while Brokaw was trying to wrap up. Then Obama moved into the shot as well, the two of them spoke briefly, and patted each other on the back. That's when Brokaw starting panicking as he couldn't see the Tele-prompter and, as is so common with the talking heads (and certain VP candidates) these days, wasn't able to speak coherently without the words being spoonfed to him.

Not saying that McCain isn't disengenuous - just that I believe they did shake hands.
