Obama stayed on stage for 1/2 hr talking to the people.

After the debate Obama stayed and answered questions and talked to the people. The c-span camera stayed on him the whole time, no sign of McLumpy. Everybody wanted to take a picture with Barack and Michelle, they were laughing and having a great time . It was wonderful to see.

The charge that Obama is somehow elitist or "strange" just will not sell. The Obamas are genuine and warm, and the people can see it.

1. McCain left almost immediately

CSPAN had to tell its viewers that the reason the cameras were on Obama the whole time was because McCain left. :eyes:

2. That was the best part of the whole debate for me.

He and Michelle must have spoken with every person in that room. The McCains high tailed it out of there.

3. What fun that was. Who would have thought? Mac left

while the getting out was to his advantage. He could see he wasn't Mr. Popular, hummm. He would never miss a photo op if he thought he had one. He will no doubt have an excuse for leaving like, we were told to leave as soon as the debate was over, or some shallow excuse. Can you visualize all the people going to the Obamas for chat and pics and not Mac and Daisy?

4. that is the crux of it right there, Obama is genuine and warm and McCain is trying to emulate that
