Well, McCain obviously took his Geritol

Although I'm not sure that it helped.

I don't know where he got that nasty, reptilian attempt at a smile. Maybe he got smiling lessons from Cheney. You could see it building as soon as he thought he had the goods on that young whippersnapper, but it's a smile that really gives you the creeps.

Another comment that a friend of ours made is that she isn't sure America wants a sarcastic president, but that's what McCain was offering. If part of the race is to get people to like you, I don't think this worked on a personal level.

And then there were the lies. It was pretty hard to sit there and listen to McCain make stuff up about Obama's plans right after Obama said what his plan was. How is that a smart debating strategy?

This is another step down what's looking like a historic road.
