Even Faux Noise rates it an O win over McC…understandably by a smaller margin then the others and it’s poll on the last debate…but even the kool-aid drinkers there were impressed by O!

As much as I love to trash McCain, “the non-handshake” should come off the list.

The TPM post that you link to was corrected. They actually did shake hands, and exchanged a brusque man-hug too. We didn’t see it at first because it happened during the reverse angle from behind the candidates, during which McCain was blocking the shot (and Brokaw’s view of the prompter). TPM later put up a video that shows a different angle, and a handshake.

No big deal — but with all the real reasons to dis McCain, we don’t need to cite ones that can be debunked.

When the Navy chief petty officer’s question was announced by Brokaw there was a warning bell went off in my sensing apparatus. With the handshake and shoulder pat by McCain and his remark to NCP, my thoughts shouted: “PLANT”. Subtle (?) direction of subconscious to McCain’s Navy service (think POW).

last question in the debate; last impression is Navy, POW.

My last impression was “You sorry SOB!”

Nah, he had to get a list of talking points for “meet and greet”

“I thought you were dead”

“Good ta see ya”

“Thanks for coming” … don’t touch that one … never mind

My guess is that McCain was heading fast for the men’s room. Old men’s problem; also explains the length of his absence and later return. He also takes meds for a “kidney ailment”.

I guess he figured a fast exit was preferable to the alternative.
