He had this look on his face that seemed to say "Did I do it right?" I kind of feel bad for the guy. In another election, following a different administration, he would have looked a lot better. He just couldn't match the rhythym (sp?) and cadence of Obama's speech. People may think that this is trivial but I've heard that research has shown that only 10% of what we communicate is verbal and that the rest in paraverbal (vocal quality) and nonverbal (body language). Obama's body language is always in control. He never shows anger. He comes across as a Great Dane to McCain's rabid Yorky. I was amused by McCain’s canned “real change” punchlines.

Obama made McCain appear utterly feeble and small. And rightly so.
