At Hofstra Debate, McCain Angrily Blinked His Way Out Of A Win

So, after last night’s debate at Hofstra, it’s become clear that there might be an upside to a McCain win after all: SNL would have plenty of fodder to work with. And I’m not even talking about the Palin possibilities, though that would be a treasure trove as well. However, the mockery could thrive on McCain’s quirks alone.
 

The debated proved that McCain is a maverick… a maverick of manic expressions. He’s always been known for his temper, but last night McCain was in rare form, and the split-screen set-up certainly didn’t help. There was smirking, eye-rolling, a literal tongue lashing and no lack of spastic blinking (perhaps a form of Morse code calling Palin to the Batmobile). While Obama remained cool and calm, McCain had all the petulance of a toddler denied his Pixy Sticks...which is weird because I’m not even sure  a pink-flavored sugar high in a tube existed when McCain was a toddler).
 

Forget the issues, Obama could have won the final presidential debate simply thanks to his level-headed demeanor. Don’t believe me? Check out the video from the Daily Kos above, but don’t say I didn’t warn you… McCain ANGRY.
