The eye rolling and sighs...didn't the MSM nail Al Gore on that?

[Jennicut]

They should crucify John McInsane for it but I won't hold my breath.

[GreenPartyVoter]

1. Yes, I believe they did

[MH1]

2. Yes. And McCain should've known better because of what happened with Gore.

Gore was told he wasn't going to be on camera while Bush was speaking (or something to that effect). Of course it was disappointing that he didn't know better. But McCain definitely should have known better.

[leftist.]

3. McCain's sighs sounded more like he was struggling for air.

They were exceptionally hefty sighs!

[NightWatcher]

4. sighs? gasps?, or snorts?

I loved the split screen.

[Neecy]

6. it was so pronounced

...that it almost sounded like a medical condition, like the guy was going to stroke out or something. He was gasping for air a few times while speaking and then went into that weird snorting thing when he wasn't. Well people don't do shit like that. It made him look old and sick.

[Matariki]

9. The sound of McCain grasping at straws...

[gateley]

5. Yes -- and McCain's reactions when Obama was responding to the charge

that small businesses would be hurt by his tax plan, were downright histrionic. Over the top.

[Lucky 13]

7. All those eye rolls and sighs are just so mavericky!!

Don't you just love it!!

:eyes:

[treestar]

8. This is one area where Obama reallly nailed it

While McSame was talking, Obama looked very professional and attentive.

[SeattleGirl]

10. They not only nailed him, they used a nail gun to do it.

And yeah, don't hold your breath that they will do that with McSame. He's a maverick, ya know.

[Cha]

11. We just had a discussion on that from last night

10. That and more!
McCain was rolling his eyes, breathing loudly and weirdly (comparable to the Gore 'sigh'), and even shaking his head in bewilderment.

There was one really tense point where you could see McCain's anger building up like a volcano and he was on the verge of blowing up. Sadly, it didn't happen. It would have finished him off right there.

13. I just remembered this morning that Gore
had said he had a couple of diet cokes before his debate and mccain has been reported to drink redbull and always has a Starbucks in his hands.

Go figure.
