"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Did any of the networks have them on split screen the whole time?

MSNBC was pretty close to all split screen. I was a little concerned that Obama couldn't stop smiling in disbelief at the shit he was hearing - it looked a touch condescending, like he was stuck at a family gathering with a cranky uncle.

Which, sadly, wasn't far from the truth.

Also? The Obamas? Hot!! Like I think I now have a (bigger?) ginormous mancrush on Barack, and have always thought Michelle was a babe.

If he just would! I swear, it's the opiates. His pupils are all HUGE.

You are talking about John McCain, right?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

CSpan also had a split screen going throughout.

I'm pretty glad I was doing my cross stitch while listening to the debate, so I was able to miss most of McCain's smirking and blinking. I did like the reactions of Obama to McCain's more outrageous comments.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

McCain = twitchy and blinky; I think he needed some Ativan.

Obama = COOL AS ICE ICE BABY.

I don't think the debate swayed anyone. Although I have big respect for Obama not losing his shit about the fact that McCain's supporters were yelling "Kill Him" at rallies. He's WAY zen. (Or possibly had a couple of extra nicotine patches on [this was a suggestion from The Boy].)

McCain went at the debate like he had nothing to lose. And really, he didn't. So props for that.

But I can't watch that twitchy blinkiness for 4 years. Jesus.

SMOOV IN '08!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I don't think the debate swayed anyone.

Not sure about that:

CBS poll of undecided voters:

Who won the debate?

McCain (R) 22
Obama (D) 53

Shares your values

Obama, Before the debate: 54
Obama, After the debate: 63

McCain, Before the debate: 53
McCain, After the debate: 56

The one in bold (assuming I didn't screw up formatting) is HUGE. The win/loss numbers are consistent with all the other debates, but the fact that this was a poll of undecideds, and a lot of those have been holding back on "I'm not comfortable with him" grounds, that's a big shift. When the trackers catch up with post-debate sampling, I predict that the trend will continue very much as it has been in the last few weeks -- it didn't decide anything in terms of final outcomes -- but with a lot fewer undecideds than there were a week earlier.

Oooh -- I'm happy to be wrong there!

Grace is a nice antidote to debate stupidity.
