I think you both will sleep better with that arrangement, sara.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

If he just would! I swear, it's the opiates. His pupils are all HUGE.
You are talking about John McCain, right?

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.

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.

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

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!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I think I skimmed too fast, where were people getting the real-time up and down reaction info on the debate? (men were up on McCain when he spoke about abortion, McCain support went down when he mentioned Palin...)
