Clearly neither candidate won any converts tonight. The partisans will claim victory for their boy. Yawn!
McCain lost it briefly during the Kissinger discussion. The dem handlers need to go over that part intensely, and find out what triggered McStrangelove's outburst and hit that weakness over and over again...
I think that John McCain won this debate. Obama Body language said everything, he was lost, angry and sometimes nervous. MCcain beat him with the phrase This is the typical. Talk the talk, walk the walk.
I was thinking the same thing. Mrs. Alan Greenspan. Yes, THAT'S an objective voice. Wonder how her husband is doing these bubble-popping and deflating times. And even Pat Buchanan made an appearance. Would it kill him to smile? I'm thinking Halloween mask, with those scowl lines. I've seen better minds when MSNBC shows those To Catch a Predator reruns.
And his conditions make his statement less lunatic? His rhetoric on Pakistan is counter-productive. Support for Al-queda among Pakistanis is at it's lowest ebb since 9/11. Obama's comments will be big news there AGAIN today only complicating relations with a populace that's slowly moderating.
And I've also noticed how the will of the people has lately been left out of much of the Georgian incident. I tend to believe the former Soviet Union's population might just not mind associating themselves with a newly strengthened economy or what may evolve into one with Petrograd and the foray into trade with the EU. The Georgian leader is just grandstanding every chance he gets and no cavalry.
what about mccains body language? slumped over, never looking at his opponent and never looking into the camera addressing the public.
