The importance of expression

By the numbers, I'd say that Obama is doing a better job in the debate. But he's making one key mistake: he's allowing McCain to *look* much friendlier and more approachable, even if (IMO) McCain's actual arguments aren't as strong. So he may lose this round in at least one key respect -- more people may come away *wanting* to vote for McCain at the pure gut level. It'll be interesting to see tomorrow's polls...
