Obama: Fundamental difference
McCain: My friends
Repeat
The preceding dialogue is essentially the entire debate.
McCain really started off strong. His rhetoric resonated through the first two questions and really his answers were better. The problem is, as he was walking around he looked as stiff as a 72 year old. He looked feeble!
Obama really picked it up through the middle hour of the debate. What is more important to my feeling that Obama won is that McCain started to sound pandering. Calling the crowd 'my friends' repeatedly ws ludicrous. He should have called everyone my 'children' or maybe 'grandchildren'. But, more importantly, his mannerisms changed, he cracked his old man smile and his voice sounded like he was looking for an emotional response. This is something that works with Obama but not McCain. McCain is running on the tough, experienced, guy platform and he should not try to move out of that range. It is not believable.
