Well, it's over. The final presidential debate for this campaign was concluded at Hofstra University in New York last Wednesday. All I can say is I'm glad, for John McCain's sake, that these debates are over. The guy simply is far too transparent emotionally to be a good debater.
Most of the pundits would agree that McCain came out swinging and tried like hell to break Obama's cool and to some degree on points he could be considered the winner. But during the Richard Nixon debates when Richard Nixon came across better over the radio than on television,
This was a problem that Richard Nixon had. Nixon looked disparagingly at John F. Kennedy and it shows. As we all know now, both men disliked each other immensely, but Nixon's condescending attitude towards Kennedy really showed, as seen in the debate clip below.
Compare that to one of the clips from the 3rd debate (you all remember the air quotes clip, right?). The addition of the split screen is extremely damaging.
Especially in an election when many of the policy differentials of both candidates are already so well known, BODY LANGUAGE MATTERS!!
