[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 405284, member: 1912"] [COLOR=blue]I thought it interesting that both were disruptive to the other. Obamas style was more argumentative when he would interupt McCain where McCain tended to chuckle when Obama said something he disagreed with. At one point Obama looked to the moderator with frustration as if he was physically trying to tell him to move on to the next subject.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]I also noticed McCain tended to stare straight ahead when Obama was speaking. Not sure that is the best tactic for a debate. You normally take notes on those items that you wish to rebut while your opponent is speaking. To McCains credit he did not need to take notes.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]Overall I thought McCain scored points for selling his experience and the fact he has flown to the areas discussed while Obama had not. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]Not a knock out for either side slight win in McCains favor.[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]I also watched MSNBC's coverage of the debate. Saw lots of clips where they showed McCain speak first and then Obama's rebuttal. Such coverage tends to make the person rebutting look better. No surprise that MSNBC used this approach.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
