Split decision
It is becoming obvious that there is a divide on the debate outcome that rivals the Kennedy-Nixon verdict (those who heard the 1960 presidential debate on the radio thought Nixon had won, those who watched the sweaty demeanour of the VP on TV knew he had lost).
This time, the division is between those who watched the debate on a single screen and those who watched the network coverage which, in some cases at least, split the screen and had a single tight shot of the person NOT speaking throughout the encounter.
Mr McCain looked alright to me in the full version - I saw him attack but never saw him reacting to Mr Obama's contributions.
But the reaction shots make him look pretty awful - angry at best, at worst something odder than angry.
Hence .
