My friends and I watched the debates when they were rebroadcasted right after the original airing. As I watched, I was reminded of the first televised debate between Nixon and Kennedy with Obama being Kennedy. Obama seemed very aware of how he was coming across and seemed to phrase his answers well. McCain seemed to be reading more scripted answers written in 'politico speech', basically very roundabout answers. While the questions were formal, the whole process of this debate seemed more relaxed; both candidates spoke over one another on occasion. I thought debates like this were more 'one party speaks and then the other one does'.
I think the VP debate will be very interesting because Joe Biden is a decent public off the cuff speaker. Palin seems personable but doesn't seem to be able to concisely get her message across.
Can't wait.
