Debate Silver Lining

From Time mag's debate liveblog, this is comment sez more about McCain than it does Obama:

In summary: obama was cooler and clearer; he didn't laugh at his own jokes, and he didn't look like his head was about to explode.

Additional Time takes:

"Obama has the gently bemused grin thing down--he thinks it';s so adorable that his opponent is wrong!--whereas John McCain looks like he sat on a tack in the split screen."

"Substance alert: McCain is flat-out lying about Obama's health care plan. It is not government-run health care, and looks nothing like the Canadian system."

"It's the guy who's talking calmly to the camera vs the guy who looks like he's going to jump through the screen and bludgeon somebody."

And the capper (putting words in the imaginary thought bubble over Obama's head): "Personally, I feel it would be better if my opponent's running mate became president. Because it would mean that lying bastard sitting over there is dead!"
