You are talking about John McCain, right?
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

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 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...)

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
CNN had reaction lines for undecided voters from Ohio.
