Debate Victory
http://media.lawrence.com/img/blogs/e... observations about the first debate:While the moderator tried to get the candidates to address each other directly, it only happened one time. Obama directly called out McCain about Iraq saying he was wrong on many issues. This was pretty effective as McCain wouldn't look at him while Obama was chastising him. Obama was rather conciliatory, saying McCain is right several times. A few times looks generous, but too many times looks defeated.http://media.lawrence.com/img/blogs/e... seemed to talk down to Obama saying that he didn't understand several times and in general implying that Obama didn't know what he was doing.Even with the camera angles being changed to make their heads at the same level, you could tell that McCain was much shorter than Obama.McCain's tie was tied in a symmetrical knot, while Obama's was tied in an asymmetrical knot. For those of you who don't wear a tie often, an asymmetrical knot is considered younger and cooler. They are easier to tie as well.http://media.lawrence.com/img/blogs/entry_img/2008/Sep/26/McCain.bmpNeither really wanted to talk about the bailout, but they both used the cliched terms of comparing "wall street" and "main street." (gags)Obama got upset a few times regarding some of the things McCain was saying about him, interrupting to say "that's not true," losing his cool.Obama stumbled out of the gates a bit, not making a lot of sense, but then came on strong, especially when he directly spoke to McCain about Iraq, but then faded down the stretch as McCain painted him as unexperienced.

kansas778,I think your observations were really thoughtful and you noticed details that others have not mentioned. Who do you think was the debate victor? Maybe it was a victory in that it actually happened?
