Obama Lied; Babies Died!October 17, 2008 at 5:10 pmJason Tolbert points out: “Perhaps the biggest moment of the night was missed by most of the pundits. The issue of abortion came up as the candidates were asked about their potential Supreme Court appointments and there views on Roe v. Wade. McCain took this opportunity to contrast his pro-life position with Obama’s extreme pro-abortion position….”

Norquist Joins Debate CoalitionOctober 16, 2008 at 12:34 pmBen Smith reports, “The bi-partisan group of online activists pushing to liberate debate footage from copyright restriction, and more broadly to remold presidential debates for a new age, says it will involve itself in other debates in the off-years, and gear up for 2012. The conservative activist Grover Norquist is also joining the group, he said last night.”

McCain Looses on Body LanguageOctober 16, 2008 at 12:33 pmPaul Campos writes, “Tonight’s debate once again proved how crucial optics and stylistic considerations are in the age of visual media. … Obama seemed cool to the point of almost boredom. But in the end, McCain’s affect — his barely concealed rage at the indignities to which he was being subjected — killed him with the television audience.”
