He was admitted briefly this afternoon for a mild seizure due to a change in medication.  He is back home now watching the debate.

I'm not around a TV (at work), so y'all gotta tell me how they're projecting and not just the logical validity of their soundbytes!

Obama is creaming McCain on charisma, and leading narrowly on credibility.

He probably didn't have the latest information, so I give him a pass on that.

I don't understand these charts at the bottom of CNN...I mean, if I'm voting, I'm putting Obama at the very top and McCain at the very bottom.

neither looks great up to this point honestly. McCain looks rattled, but Obama just can't seem to get past his "uh" problem.

I've got CNN HD, so I'm able to see the pundits scorecard on the side of the screen, two democrat, two republican, and two supposedly neutral.  Castellanos (Rep) and Begala (Dem) are lighting up their scorecard while Gloria Borger (neutral) has nothing on hers, yet.

McCain is claiming he's anti wasteful-spending. How's that trillion dollars in Iraq working?
Also, he attacked Obama for earmarks? Yeah, Palin never got any of those.

You think? He hasn't seemed too bad with that "uh" issue so far to me.

McCain does seem nervous to me... not that I can blame him to much for that.

So you're anti-corruption now, McCain? How are those $25,000 in gifts that Palin has recieved in the last 20 months working out for her?

 Obama is getting picked apart! What's the matter Obama? Can't work without a teleprompter?

 Now Bambi is interrupting McCain's time. He's not allowed to do that. He's clearly rattled.
