Not much I bet. Who do you remember seeming to be more in control and more "Presidential" clearly Barack Obama. I think it's his strongest point and will allow him to shine in these debates. The thing that appealed to me initially about Barack Obama 18 months ago was his voice..he sounds Presidential and I would bet that is how Independents will come away from this debate feeling. Barack Obama just seems destined to be the next President.

3. McCain nearly loosing it
sneering , bad body languange repeatedly saying what Obama doesn't understand, talking over everyone, talking forever and saying very little. He did dominate the night ....but not in a good way.

4. McCain refusing to look at Obama. Insulting him on national TV.
Really, that's unconscionable. I expect him to come out and say something about how he couldn't look at Obama because his eyes were injured when he was a POW.

6. McCain's snideness and terrible body language,
but unfortunately I also remember the "Senator Obama DOESN'T UNDERSTAND" crap. That'll be in a campaign ad soon--Obama should be ready to counter it.

7. Obama's command and control
Not only was he more Presidential, but he had a command of all the issues. There was no "let me bring it to ya" idiocy.

10. I specifically recall that McCain's wormtongue speak makes me nauseous.
So much so, I have to curse, yell and leave the scene of this crime to humanity to recover my sanity. :)

McCain just keep repeating the lies of his campaign over and over and over. His contempt for Obama was very apparent. I also wanted to know why he kept using words like "naive," and "inexperienced" in relationship to Obama, especially given his brilliant choice of running mate.

Obama flatly told McCain he was wrong. And he remained calm. While McCain lost his cool at least twice, one in a major way. Oh, and FESTOOOOOOOONED!

19. That McCain wants to freeze all spending except defense, basically,
and that Obama thinks that energy alternatives and boosting the middle class are top priorities for him.

21. Obama seemed presidential.
He really could have and maybe should have been a little more aggressive. McCain was angry and condescending and completely rotten.

25. Digoxin. Seriously. Those black shark eyes remind me of someone I love who was on digoxin.
I am not a doctor. And I don't pretend to be a doctor. The first thing I thought of when I saw those dark black shark eyes was digoxin.
