Well, I thought that Obama was so good. I know you guys will make fun of me, and that’s OK, I don’t mind. But he actually kind of almost convinced me that, hey, maybe things really can turn around? And I haven’t been feeling that way lately at all. I kinda think we’re doomed. So anyway, the format was fine for me because the guy I’m pulling for really ruled it. And he did that in many ways, even though some people on this thread apparently didn’t see it, the polls are really reflecting what I thought I saw. He did it by really instilling confidence that this guy knows what he’s talking about, that’s cool and very collected – in fact, he is the steady hand that McCain was saying we need. I mean, that wasn’t the smartest thing for McCain to keep saying, because more people than not were taking that as an endorsement of Obama. And also, and I think this is why you are complaining about the “format” and I don’t think you even realize it – the physicality of the format just made Obama rule. You have this hunched over short guy, breathing heavy, and you had this tall, commanding presence next to him.
It’s always interesting to read this board and then watch the polling. It really confirms to me that even though people like you and Epic, etc., truly believe otherwise – I’m way more tuned into the mainstream than any of you are. I might not be of the mainstream, but I’m tuned into them, and you guys just are not.
