Was finally able to fix my computer's streaming, and caught the whole debate uninterrupted.
John McCain was genuinely crazy angry the whole time. And came of as far more of an extreme right winger than any presidential candidate I can remember. His callous sneer and scare quotes around "women's health" was shocking. So wanting to ban abortion except when the woman's health is endangered is now an extreme pro-choice position? When did that happen? He might as well have stood up on his chair and told all the womb-having Americans watching that he doesn't care about their health or well-being at all.
Obama has gotten a little better at giving narrative descriptions of things, rather than just the stream of consciousness flow of factoids from the first debate. He was pretty clearly being intentionally boring when talking about Ayers and the weird conspiracy theories about ACORN. Having the press spend a couple days talking about his great zinger on Ayers would have been completely Pyrrhic.
Really impressed that Obama brought up the murder of labor activists in Colombia. Not sure he would (or really could) do that much about it. But I've never heard a presidential candidate bring up one of the pet issues we crazy leftists care about before, so points for that.
And then there was Joe The Plumber. What is up with Joe The Plumber.
