DEBATE RESULTS: THE PUBLIC LOSES
Presented in a controlled environment were two fairly polished politicians: one young and relatively inexperienced and the other older and apparently wiser.
- Barack was light on details. Flat affect and lack of engagement and apparent lack of sincerity. Good appearance.
- McCain was unusually polite and restrained. A liitle jittery.
What was said …
- Barack: nothing of substance
- McCain: nothing of substance
Bottom line …
- Staged Beauty Pageant
- No memorable sound bytes
Once again, each and every spin merchant and media pundit will have their own spin and continue to analyze the blandness of the debate into obscurity.
