the final battle(debate)

so. the last of the debates was last night. i watched most of it. and almost fell asleep at some points. my main opinions.
1. what was up with the ties? both of them were striped, which is a look i never like. and what was up with wearing the opposite party's colors. very weird. but mccain's was worse thanks the odd thickness of the white stripes.
2. the whole negative campaign ads. i think obama made a good point that the huge amount of negative obama ads in mccain's campaign say more about mccain than obama. and they do. it makes it seem like that mccain thinks the only way to make himself look good is to make obama look bad. he'd look a lot better if he praised obama, instead of insulting him.
3. the smiles. in my opinion, a good president needs a good smile. even when he's really tense, obama manages to smile and seem somewhat relaxed. i think mccain was trying to imitate that. the thing is, mccain's smile reminds me of a troll. Come to my house, little children...I'm going to getcha...
4. the camera shots. no matter what angle the camera was shooting, you'd always see some guy's hand that was half cut off. i think it was the moderator's and it only went away during the close-ups...it was really annoying. i'm assuming that nbc/fox/cnn spend a lot of money filming the debates. couldn't they at least make sure that no people's hands appear to be cut off?
all in all, the debate was interesting. i think obama won by a bit, but only because he managed to make mccain/palin look bad for running all those obama is a terrorist ads. my highlight: when mccain was aked why palin would be a good president and had to think for a few minutes.
