A non-verbal observation - I missed a good chunk of the debate tonight because I was on an extended phone call. However, wasn't John McCain supposed to be this frail, old guy? For two hours, the codger stood at a podium and forcefully stood his ground. I start shifting my feet in church if I have to sing a hymn more than three stanzas.
Extra – An even-handed review from Moderate Voice: "To summarize, for two guys who have been less than sterling debaters in the past, they each presented us with surprisingly crisp, no-baloney briefs for their respective candidacies. It was all refreshingly boring and appropriately sober for our trying times."

ReplyDeleteAnd so it's come to this.
Congratulations to our next President for not toppling over.
Well, like I said, I could only analyze based on what I half-heard as I was chatting on the phone.
ReplyDeleteSince the Obama campaign has tried to make McCain's age an issue (albeit subtlely), he looked spry for a guy who was supposed to be in bed, watching "Matlock."
