Did you watch the debate?
Did you see the handshake as Brokaw was closing the telecast and asked them to move because they were blocking his teleprompter?

McCain's handshake is totally bogus.
Eeeew! I am not going to touch that Nee-Grow!

Did McCain shake Obama's hand after the first debate?

Looks like McCain has no problems shaking hands even at the second debate.

That was before O kicked his shriveled ass.

Oh, please.
Obama didn't kick anyone's ass. He danced around the ring for an hour and a half.

Rope a dope! Just like ALI! Actually he did kick his ass :

Read the polls & weep

I didn't see that. I left after the last question was answered and the debate was over.
First of all even though the McCains are from Mississippi and even though the great-grandfather was a slave-owning planter: nevertheless, a politician with national ambitions, even from Mississippi, wouldn't dare to refuse a black man's handshake on national TV and I don't think McCain would. No matter WHAT he thinks of blacks in private, and I'm pretty sure he hates their guts.
As I tried to follow the sequence of events, McCain reaches round to tap the back of Obama's shoulder, preparatory to a greeting of some kind. Obama turns and extends his hand, but McCain makes two weird left arm and hand movements at that time, the first possibly cueing Cindy to take O's extended hand, and the second during the Cindy-Obama handshake, bringing his open left hand into the same position as Cindy's and Obama's hands, parallel to them but closer to the cameras shooting the scene, almost like three hands are participating in the shake.
It looked to me like possibly McCain wanted Cindy to shake first (ladies first!) intending to shake with Obama immediately after Cindy but then turned to the crowd and forgot all about shaking hands with Obama. A senior moment but not a racist moment, or at most just subconscious racism.
-
It probably isn't racism. It's that McCain sees all his opponents as enemies: he clearly dislikes Obama for being so presumptuous of wanting the same job he wants.
Obama is courteous and diplomatic to a fault.
I think this is a plus for Obama and a minus for McCain

No some pundit thinks he kicked McCain ass. I didn't see it and neither did any of those who posted immediately after the debate on this forum.
I'd rank it as a slight win for McCain, but not enough to make any real change in the election dynamics.

Yeah, still looks like that to me, in the clear light of day. McCain needed a lot more from that debate to reverse the tide, and he didn't even come close.

the tides already reversing . the gap is closing.
and even if it wasn't, that doesn't mean McCain got his ass kicked.

BT,
Al Gore was up by 11 at this same juncture.
Of course Obama should win, heck he should be way ahead, but he's not.
This thing is not even close to being over.

I suggest the polls are fraudulent. We know the media is in the tank for Barry and that being true say are the polls conducted by the media. If Barry was really ahead they'd be making the differences bigger. I suggest it's to close to call and when people enter that both and really think about it, there's no way they vote for the communist.

"We defend you from the terrorists, you must defend us from Obama."
Another monstrous right-wing lie. The true title should be:
"We torture, rape, murder and destroy humble, poor, even destitute people in their own homes, thousands of miles away from you. By so doing, we enrage millions and recruit hundreds of terrorists every day into the ranks of al Qaeda, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah and fighting organizations you have never heard of . . . yet. We make enemies for you at a rate never before seen in your entire history, and the amount of money necessary to keep our miserable, sorry asses safe from the enraged locals is emptying out your Treasury faster than anything else has ever done. You are not our bosses, we are your bosses, and we are now telling you loud and clear: Do. NOT. Vote. for. Obama. Do. Not. Attempt. to. Stop. Us. from. Doing. What. We. Like. Or you will be very, very sorry. Got that?"
Yeah, I know. Make the poster bigger. Lots bigger.
