(btw wanted to post this last night but gave up with the site went down)

I've NEVER yet seen his eyes that dialated, or open, or him that energetic in previous debates.

I'm just sayin, it did NOT look normal

1. Noticed that too.
I watched it on CNN and they had a split screen so you could watch McCain's glassy eyes roll upward in a painful way. Good stuff.

5. His frantic blinking gave me a headache.
He appeared as a wind-up doll that went over the edge a bit. I don't know why, but that movie, 'Chucky', came to mind. (I believe that's the correct name - the evil puppet that came to life?)

6. Child's Play
I've never seen it, or any of the sequels, because that doll creeps me the fuck out.

8. Keep in mind the only world leaders Palin met one-on-one at the UN were
the presidents of Colombia and Afghanistan.

10. Yes...the split screen images were telling. I just kept thinking
if this asshole gets elected I'm going to have to look at that face for the next 4 years (and that's the least of it!).
Fortunately, Obama is going to kick his ass at the polls.

12. I mentioned it to my husband: his eyes looked like big black teddy bear buttons.
It really did look weird.

15. John McCain
has been far less effective in the evening hours, than in the early to mid-morning. Hence, I wondered if his campaign might consider the need for something beyond a mid-afternoon nap to be up for the debate.

During the debate, McCain experienced the same difficulties articulating the lines which had been prepared for him. His body language, however, spoke loud and clear. I thought the public was done a disservice by the camera not being allowed to remain on McCain for longer periods when Obama was speaking. He did not look well. Also, he had trouble not being rude, and talking when it was Obama's turn.

Interesting cluster of behaviors.

21. Given McCain's reputation..
.. for flying off the handle, I believe he is hypomanic all the time. Low level bipolar disorder.

23. Seemed obvious to me he was hepped up on something
Meth, cocaine, prescribed happy pills... who knows. But he was definitely accelerating on something.
