I need to stop drinking my way through debates

[trinityvixen]

When not entirely possessed of my sober mind, it's nearly impossible for me to figure out who won these things. CNN seemed to call it for Obama. I didn't get that impression. I think Obama breaking the rules of the debate, as agreed upon by both sides, to be a serious error on his part. Then again, I'm surprised McCain thought he could get away with calling Obama "that one" as if considering his opponent too hideous to name would appear as anything but hideous.

I think everyone can agree that Tom Brokaw was a terrible moderator. Tom, you're not a school marm with power over his pupils. These are United States Senators, and you sounded like a whiny bitch when you couldn't make them stick to the debate structure that was agreed upon. Far as I know, you weren't supposed to ask follow-up questions of your own, so you weren't sticking to script. Shut the F up. Also, what the F happened to your eyeballs? Did they shrink? No, I'm totally serious. This was the first thing I noticed in the whole debate: Tom Brokaw's eyeballs have retracted into his skull. What the shit?

I know I'd rather see Michelle as president than Barack. Just sayin'...besides the attractiveness, I get the impression that she's the much smarter of the two, and is a lot more down to earth than he is.

It helps that she was an IP lawyer. Though I have a deep suspicion of lawyers who got to work on cool things like a Coors ad campaign and the Barney the Purple Dinosaur trademark, and were unhappy with it.

I missed it, but apparently the Obamas were glad-handing a lot longer than the McCains. I couldn't believe that. As if he needed more reasons for people to think he was a cranky old dude up past his bedtime. And Michelle seemed a lot more engaged. She has a lovely smile, and she seemed genuine. Cindy McCain...well, I'm not exaggerating when I say "Stepford."
