I took these outside the White House with my iPhone at night, so forgive the poor quality.

The October of McCain’s Discontent

Posted by on October 7, 2008 6 comments

Senator McCain’s contempt for Senator Obama’s very presence on this election’s stage with him is clearly boiling over.

McCain calls Obama “that one”

McCain refuses to shake Obama’s hand

This is a man that hates losing. The lower he drops in the polls the more you’ll see this.

Overall I was disappointed in the debate. I didn’t think the modified “town hall” format worked. I would like to see a face-to-face debate with free-form discussion between the candidates. Enough with the ads, and enough with the debate formats that are really just modifications of the same, tired format that is really more like a joint press conference than a debate. Let’s have an in-the-open public discussion of these important issues with lots of time for responding to everything.

I will say I thought Obama performed well while McCain came off as an annoyed, grumpy old man yelling at Obama to get off his lawn. I don’t think either candidate necessarily “won” but Obama looked more comfortable.

Also, I was seriously creeped out by Senator McCain’s repeated use of the word “goodies”
