What was McCain thinking?

-confusing Sarah Palin's child's medical condition. He has Down Syndrome and not autism.

-saying that troops could be teachers without certification. What?! Sure, being in the military automatically means that you can be a good teacher. [snark]

-saying a women's health wasn't important in cases of abortion. McCain lost a ton of women voters with that statement.

And then there was his refusal to repudiate those persons at his rallies who called Obama a terrorist and shouted that he should be killed..Disgraceful!

But imo, the reason why all the television network focus groups-including the Republican's own Fox News- overwhelmingly voted Obama the winner of all three of the presidential debates was more a matter of the difference between the two candidate's tone, body language, and overall image than what they said.

Obama not only had substance, he was cool & consistent under fire. In a word, he was Presidential.

And McCain? He was a nasty, sneering, angry old man, not someone who inspires confidence. And given that we are involved in two wars and a worsening economic crisis, Americans {and the rest of the world} need to feel confident in our President.

Three more weeks. Then Obama/Biden will be elected President and Vice President. And McCain can go back to one of his houses and Palin can go back to Alaska.

Hallelujah!
