The Debate was on the radio

[catsittingstill]

It's a big man who can say when his opponent is right.

Obama said it several times. When he thought McCain was wrong, he said so, but when McCain was right, he said that too.

McCain never did. He could only attack Obama.

Sad, really.

Ah, but listening to the debate on radio instead of watching it you missed the really important part: how the candidates looked. That's what all the pundits are talking about, anyway. And they're saying Obama looked better than McCain.

Specifically, the pundits are saying McCain's demeanor was "old and grumpy".

I do think "appearance counts" for the general audience, so McCain's demeanor may hurt him.

...Keith Olbermann is citing a "snap poll" from CBS of uncommitted voters: 40% say Obama won, 38% say it was a draw, 22% say McCain won.

The CW is if it's a draw, McCain lost, because he was expected to dominate in foreign policy.
