Candidates Debate for Zombie Voters

[aggienaut]

Presidential debate yesterday. Candidates said pretty much what I expected them to do, so it wasn't very remarkable. However, I think what was remarkable was the audience -- they were all freaking zombies!!

Seriously. Not only did they sit bolt upright the whole time and not smile, but when one was asking a question, the ones beside him/her wouldn't look at her as is normal but would continue to stare blankly ahead. Creepy I tell you.

I felt that McCain overdid his harping on what a great "cross- the- aisle" legislator he's been. What are we electing, a legislator? No. Psst, we need a president. Frankly I'd rather have a diplomat and a thinker, someone with charisma. Someone I don't mind looking at. Someone who is easy to listen to because he makes sense when he talks. Someone who will probably still be breathing during the next 8 years.

Back to totally un-substantive things. Last time they debated, O, (Who apparently identifies with this topic) snidely commented that McCain, being "mature" must really have to pee. After all, one and a half hours is a pretty long time to be standing there under the hot lights answering tricky questions. After last night's debate it was explained later that McCain had quickly left the stage. Obama stayed behind for a good 20 minutes or more, greeting people and evidently signing autographs. I guess we can imagine where John went. ..to the john.

Perhaps it's not really important but I think we need a president who isn't requiring extra time scheduled in for running off to the loo. Self control, as McCain himself has stated, is pretty important, after all. How about during those inevitable high summit meetings. "Excuse me, Vladimir, but I need to find the restroom. Er, that's OK, I certainly still know where it is."

Let's hear it for youth, agility, and bladder control!
