Holy Christ-chex, Iron Man... Did you see that debate???
Awesomeness abounded. I really thought Obama was appealing to a younger generation by very rarely referring to Sen. McCain as such. "Hey John." Nice, dude. Nice.
But I thought it was rude, cold, and uselessly formal for McCain to refuse to address Obama 1) directly to his face EVER and 2) as anything but Sen. Obama. Boring, old dude. Boring.
The format was given so that the candidates could, and in fact on MULTIPLE occasions were encouraged to ADDRESS each other. McCain wouldn't even look at Obama. Anyway. I haven't really processed the whole thing yet, except to say that McCain certainly has a lot of experience, and some of it's excellent, and some of it's bad, and Obama... I feel like he doesn't have enough experience to know that he can't do much, so he's inspired to dream big, and maybe that way also become successful.
The interruptions from either side totally talking over each other AND the moderator made me absolutely giddy. And I didn't have to play a stupid drinking game to make it all right to listen to either. (Remember doing a shot each time Bush mis-pronounced a word, or paused in the middle of a sentence for more than 7 seconds?)
This is what I was hoping for.
Also, I wish they had a little cattle prod for either them. "BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT Bad candidate!! You wandered too far off-topic. Answer the fucking question or say 'pass'."
... Not looking forward to the VP debates. Palin's a moron and Biden is boring.
I'm so stoked for next Thursday, and most def not cause of Adv News. Yeah, St. Louis!!!
