Where is Palin? Biden is on MSNBC talking about the debate.....wouldn't you think McCain's VP running mate would give some feedback re the debate as well?

Here is what I saw as far as body language.

Obama shifted fairly often, more so than I am used to seeing. While he did make eye contact which is extremely important, he also made his objections in a tone about an octave lower than he needed to.

Notice when McCain disagreed how he displayed on his face a very dismissive look like he was talking to a child? While I see it for what it is as I was listening intently to the words and content, but many people look at the facial expressions more than listening. It gave me the impression that Obama was being talked down to during the foreign policy portion, and even though I actually agree with Obama's positions in this area, he lost me.

LOL, do you guys find it funny how the McCainiacs declared the blowout victory for McCain at the beginning of this thread. By reading what they were saying, you would think Obama did HORRIBLE. lol

Interesting. I'm a pacer, soo I look at the initial outset of the rebuttal, then I stroll and Ignore everything else so I can think and listen. I'm certain there's a breakdown for my behavior (PM it to me..lol)

Now you'll have me listening more intently to inflect and modulation....~sigh. I guess I do it now to a point in my practice, just hadn't made a conscience effort at acknowledging this before.

Interesting.

We are talking about Sarah Palin right? (chuckling)

I think they have her playing hearts with Dick in the bunker. Anywhere but near a microphone.
