George Will: Obama has perfected the art of rope-a-dope
George Will clearly thinks Obama did better, and that he did a good job of having McCain go after him

also continued to praise Obama and diss McCain

I think George Will will vote for Obama :p

I'd also like to point out that Britt Hume and Krauthammer were making fun of McCain's expressions...

2. Krauthammer gave the debate to Obama.
They're having a snowball fight in hell right now.

5. Wow, George Swill gave Obama high marks without having been
part of his debate prep team beforehand? High praise indeed.

6. It's easier to rope-a-dope when your opponent is an actual "dope".
Luckily, Mr. McCain obliges.

7. I noticed that he mentioned that, and Ali
I wondered if it was a guess, or he knows that Obama has the picture of Ali in his office and is familiar with his strategy?

15. Ahhhhhh ... that famous photo of Obama sitting, head bowed, below
the Ali photo ... That was taken in his office? I always wondered where it came from. It is by far my very favorite Obama photo.

Gee, maybe the Freepers can jump on this next:

BREAKING: Obama has a photo of a Muslim hanging in his office!!111!1!!1!!! :rofl:

18. I believe it's in his office
I could be wrong. I wonder if Will has seen it.

9. Goerge Will seems to have a grudging respect for Obama.
At the very least, I think Will realizes just how fucking smart our guy is.

17. Will has had it with McCain since he said he'd fire Cox
He sees Obama as having the better temperament. We could very well see some of the intellectual conservatives become "Obama Republicans".
