Well, I don’t think McCain did well in the debate last night. But I don’t think Obama did, either.
The “moderator” let him talk at least twice as long as McCain, and the more he talked, the more vapid and boring it was.
In other words, McCain was once again disappointingly unwilling to win, but Obama is continuing to suffer from overexposure.
McCain did have some good moments. None of them were game-changing, but he revealed himself as probably someone who could better be trusted to deal with hard times than Mr. Empty Suit.
Obama is a lot worse than an empty suit, but since he continues to hide everything that he actually is, that is probably how he appears to many people. Hope, and change, and blah, blah, blah.
Yes, Brokaw could have reined Obama in if he’d wanted to, just by starting to say ‘30 seconds’ and then ‘time’s up’. But the more time he let Obama steal the more Obama showed himself to be the vapid smooth talker that he is.
But, I think McCain finished with a great closing statement. It was very strong.
