I'm just damn glad that this was obvious to more folks than just myself. Limbaugh,Boortz,Hannity should have a field day with this gem come monday.
My wife pointed out something quite interesting following the debate. It appeared that W was being mobbed by people who wanted to say hello. Kerry was not. The camera angles were different, but it looked as though only a few people approached Kerry and that many of the people in his shot had their back to him and were trying to get close to W. Anyone else notice this?
You are correct. EVERYBODY wanted a picture with W and Laura!.Kerry had mostly Secret Service surrounding him. The people voted with their cameras!
Yes, it was clear that people surged toward GW immediately. At first Kerry chatted with the moderator, then his family came up and provided company, then he had the sense to greet people, himself. His daughter, who hugged him on camera afterwards, looked very upset. She knew he'd lost big time. I felt sorry for her and him, for about two seconds. Another thing pundits are saying, well, RAT spinners like CeCe Connolly of Fox and the WashPost, is that GW was 'angry'. Nonsense. He couldn't have been more personable and full of life, energetic. That man who was interviewed on NPR this afternoon...who asked the Iraq/WMD question during the debate...said GW was very personable and had connected really well with the audience. He said you probably didn't get to see that on tv, but it was obvious. And that Kerry seemed...stiff. He had to search for a neutral word.
