A strong debate for McCain, just on the arguments he made. But his visuals are just brutal. Grimacing, weird expressions, looking so uptight and uncomfortable. Obama was relaxed and direct, he seemed intent on bringing it back to the economic issues that voters care about.
Seemed to me the pundits, some of them, wanted to really drag McCain back into contention in this race by saying he won the debate. The polls, one after another, shot that down. People think Obama does a better job at these debates. Maybe because he does.
Side by side, face to face. One candidate is cool, calm, thoughtful, in control. The other seems about to burst out of his skin. I don't mean to be unkind to John McCain. But he is not as strong a candidate as Barack Obama. Political campaigns are all about communication. There really is no doubt who's doing a better job of that in this race.
