McCain Looked Petulant, Sounded Too Angry To Be President

A few final thoughts on Debate #1.

Maybe McCain should have stayed away, after all.

His demeanor screamed "I can't believe I'm on the same stage with this whipper-snapper.'

His contempt for Obama, and therefore the entire process, was palpable.

This is an era for deep, serious thought and analysis, before taking action, whether domestically or overseas. The next President can't travel the world or conduct business as Mr. Peeved.

Obama won on substance, style and in the very area that McCain sarcastically over-played: "Getting it."

Bring on Palin and the rest of the debates. The Democrats can be confident and roll on.
