Unless there is some grand moment in a presidential debate (a la Nixon sweating profusely in 1960), presidential debates have a cumulative effect in the voting populace. How we remember debates historically are moments like H. W. checking his watch in 1992 or Lloyd Besten's Kennedy smack down of Dan Quayle in 1988. This debate unfortunately for John McCain had one of those moments.
We will be watching this for years, and in fact if this election turns out to be a landslide our children will probably be watching it. McCain's anger and distain for Obama was palpable for a second straight debate, and it was once again disturbing to watch. Unless something earth shattering occurs, I think this might be our last memory of a man who used to exude honor and dignity.
