I watched the last debate, the fact that McCain looked on edge made a bad impression on me, while Obama looked calm and it made an good impression on me. As an Obama supporter I'm of coursed biased.
The next day another debate rerun came on again on CNN, but I was cooking and not watching the TV ...my impressions from the audio of the debate gave me a much better impression of McCain, he made a lot of good points.
The fact is for a huge percentage of the population they don't know that much. The issues are complex, especially the economy, the sub-primes, unregulated banks on Wall Street, then there's how to fix health care, etcetera.
So you can finds tons of people who are going for Obama because he represents change and he comes across rational and calm. They'll vote for Obama because they like what the see, and others will vote for McCain because they like what the see ...for them the issues are too much.
