here is when McCain got unraveled

By the way, my friends, I know you grow a little weary with this back-and-forth. It was an energy bill on the floor of the Senate loaded down with goodies, billions for the oil companies, and it was sponsored by Bush and Cheney.

You know who voted for it? You might never know. That one. You know who voted against it? Me. I have fought time after time against these pork barrel -- these bills that come to the floor and they have all kinds of goodies and all kinds of things in them for everybody and they buy off the votes.

I totally bristled at the "that one" comment (I thought is was rude and disrespectful not to refer to his opponent by name) , couple that with the fact that once again, Sen. McCain did not seem to want to be cordial to Sen Obama after the debate, makes me question whether to believe Senator McCain will actually make the effort to "reach across the aisle" in a bipartisan fashion as President. (I know he may have trouble actually shaking hands, but it seems that McCain avoids eye contact and hand shakes with Obama--- he did it at the last debate, on the Senate floor during the bailout, and tonight)

(CORRECTION) This morning Brokaw said the candidates did shake hands last night-but I still stand by my comments overall, McCain is "prickly" when in attack mode.
