Thoughts on the Debate

It's hard for me to be objective, but watching John McCain leaves me wondering:

is McCain deaf in his left ear? He never looked at Senator Obama. At best, it made him seem old and deaf, at worst, it made him seem dismissive and rude.

every answer of McCain's involved his opponent. Defensive, much? I imagine if I were undecided I would have been put off by it. It just made McCain seem petty and like he was avoiding representing his own ideas.

Also, what is with Republicans being so snotty and condescending (see debate tonight and their entire convention).

I don't know. I feel like I got more substantive info from Barack Obama. At different times when McCain was speaking, I kept thinking he sounded like a sedated Kasey Kasem.
