Second Presidential Debate

[AGDee]

Actually, McCain standing and moving around while Obama was talking was part of what was distracting me, now that you mention it. I wonder if that was the intended effect?

Probably. Well - that and the septuagenarians have a tendency to move around just to make sure the blood's still flowin' to their feet.

Ok - that's enough of the old jokes for me.

I agree - I thought it was a snooze. Although, points for Tom Brokaw for calling them out on going over time (even though both of them tended to, every. single. question.).

Maybe that's what most people saw, but I thought McCain might have been a bit excited! I know if that was me, i'd want to be on my feet, ready to answer the next question. I saw that as a positive for McCain... he actually looked a bit younger, staying on his feet.

On the flip side, did anyone notice Obama's stance while he was sitting on the stool? Straight out of a GQ cover shoot! lol.

Agree--Debate was a *yawn* I actually liked when the candidates fought for more follow-up time...finally, something exciting! Overall, I don't think this one will move the numbers either way.
