Every time I see McCain and his mobility limitiations, I think not of his age but of his injuries--which serves to remind me of his great sacrifices during the war.<BR/><BR/>I don't watch Fox News, so I couldn't tell you. Perhaps they really were in the no spin zone for once?David Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16269564495760820631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695411995525437118.post-8607284303084680172008-10-07T22:26:00.000-06:002008-10-07T22:26:00.000-06:00I disagree that McCain navigates these townhall me...I disagree that McCain navigates these townhall meetings better than Obama. He did fine, but the ability to move around freely makes his age show. The people I watched the debate with thought he looked a little bit like E.T. in stature (or that he had to run out to play in a football game afterward, and had his uniform on under his suit). Nonetheless, it wasn't a blowout for Obama at all.<BR/><BR/>My question is this: Why was Fox News so fast to declare an Obama victory? Is there a strategy here? I'm suspicious. <BR/><BR/>Thoughts, Dr. Parker?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
