Obama is at his worst when sitting. When he stands behind a podium he gains in stature and in energy. When sitting maybe Obama feels like he's riding the pine during a basketball game, and gets a little more sleepy looking, a little more lethargic.
That said he still won easily tonight, as all the polling shows. The Republican descent into irrelevancy continued, with McCain repeatedly mocking Obama's line "I want to spread the wealth around". Hello??? We are in the beginning of a depression caused by the rich getting richer while everyone else got poorer but just paid the rich a huge bailout. I think the average american is in favor of spreading the wealth around right now.
I am also getting very peeved at the pundits who insist that Obama declare what programs he will cut due to the economic crisis. WE NEED TO SPEND during the recession. There I said it.
In other news, it sounds like several long time conservatives at work are thinking of voting democratic this year. I also like the thing Sullivan linked to where a Republican consultant was freaking out because his focus group believed Obama might be a terrorist but would still vote for him because they will never vote for another g-d republican in their frickin lives. Awesome.
