I think this is an example of how disconnected I am from the majority of American people, because to me, Obama looks reasoned, smart and thoughtful. McCain seems like he i smirking, condescending and lying and strikes me in body language like a smarmy smiling piece of slime. And I had really no particular hatred for him before tonight. I think the smile and the misplaced confidence make him seem comforting to people who are not me.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Does Obama sound more nervous than in past debates? (I haven't watched him debate much.)
I Tivo'd the debate while I was napping, but I just jumped to the present because I can't take watching the first part if it's going in McCain's favor as he lies and lies. I just can't. I trust all of your commentary to this point and am just going to go with that.
Wait a sec...is McCain trying to bring up Hitler to support his argument?
agreeing with sophia
I hate the way McCain too. Maybe all that smarm and contempt and arrogance won't go over well. But it never has hurt arrogant bastards in the past 30 years. Completely different from being a smarty pants who knows stuff. An arrogant conceited bastard to who claims good emotional traits (like toughminded maverick) has always gone over well.
short form, talking might not work but not - talking never does
Obama needs to stop agreeing with McCain so damn much. If he agrees with 2 things and disagrees on 1, focus on the fucking one.
yes, you do say 'no you're not'
I was actually looking forward to the debate, but it is *really* failing to hold my interest.
I turned off - I'll tune back in for the commentary I think. God I hate the willingness of mccain to flat out lie so blantently.
