And I agree with you entirely about McCain's weirdly hostile vibe ("Not <I>you</I>, Tom!"<BR/><BR/>And I'm so glad you dug the <I>Terminator</I> refs.

In terms of respectability, I think he missed the boat, and it really seems like Obama's got it in the bag after this. Of course, again, that could be my private liberal arts school environment talking.<BR/><BR/>But dude, best moment of the night: Obama's face as McCain talked about "Obama's secret". Wow. Priceless. <BR/><BR/>On another note, I loved your blog. It was pretty hilarious, particularly the bits about internet sentience.Viennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13226351574317470101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563950890480925834.post-43640808540874542362008-10-07T19:59:00.000-07:002008-10-07T19:59:00.000-07:00Fair point, DD.To be honest, I don't focus adequat...Fair point, DD.<BR/><BR/>To be honest, I don't focus adequately on style since I am keeping my head (mostly) down - typing, typing, typing. <BR/><BR/>I'll review the debate tonight and see - and like you I'll look forward to any movement in the polls.highway163https://www.blogger.com/profile/09874578884935438341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563950890480925834.post-15223872123571764392008-10-07T19:50:00.000-07:002008-10-07T19:50:00.000-07:00I think the debate could very well have been a "ga...I think the debate could very well have been a "game changer" for the undecided voters, if style is important to the voter. <BR/><BR/>If I were to look at style, I would say that Obama "won," from the perspective that he stayed on topic. Though I think he endangered himself by letting himself get a bit too riled up and demanding a follow-up and not staying on time.<BR/><BR/>Should be interesting to read the papers manana.detroit doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03636798112379229385noreply@blogger.com
