more debate thoughts

I have always been puzzled why the press seemed to love McCain so much - I have always found high on the creepster scale. But I have seen him schmooze with the press, but I failed to see the charm. His colleagues have always said he has a horrible temper, but the press always failed to take much credence in these reports. After all, they knew better than people who actually had to to WORK with him (note heavy sarcasm.) Even though in general the press still tries to bend over backwards to say nice things about him, a few commentators have fallen out of love. It is like the mask has slipped in front of their eyes, and what they see is a bitter, angry man. He is eight years older than he was in 2000, and the years have not treated him kindly. Several times he seemed deranged last night. He would start on one line of attack and then begin some other rant. He looked like he couldn't believe that he was loosing and wasn't going to be awarded the presidency, after all he had sold his soul to the devil, surely he should be rewarded. But eafter the debate several people, including Andrea Greenspan nee Mitchell said he won the debate. What debate were they watching? They did quickly cool their rhetoric when they got feedback from the viewers.
