Debate Thoughts
Yup, I watched it like a good little voter. I'll admit that sometimes I tuned out because it was super boring. Anyway, here are some thoughts in list-ish form:
-McCain said that he was "no Miss Congeniality" twice. Of course he isn't!!! He's a DUDE!
-Obama interrupted McCain a bit too often. Not a good idea.
-As I told Jeff, McCain was a condescending douche to Obama with this "Oh, he's so naive! I am SO OLD and know EVERYTHING about THE WORLD"
-Tea is an underrated foil for diplomacy! Scones seal the deal!
-OMG DIPLOMACY SLEEPOVER!!! Oh would I love to be a fly on that wall when they start up playing 'Never Have I Ever'!
-Best.Idea.Ever, guys: BEER DIPLOMACY!
Wasn't impressed overall. I don't think either answered questions particularly clearly and there was a lot of waffling. Mom thinks McCain came off as more of a waffler. I think both came off as childish at times. Of course, these debates tend to be like that so I don't know why I was expecting more. Maybe it's because both candidates are supposed to be really good at debating (yes, I'm avoiding the "master debater" joke). So yeah, I'm hoping it gets better.
