Obama/McCain- Debate Two

Presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama met on Tuesday night for the second of three scheduled debates before the November elections; this was a "town hall" style format and by all accounts, the type of venue Senator McCain excels at. Unfortunately, the physical appearance of both the candidates served to negate any advantage Mr. McCain might have had in this format before either man spoke a word. At 6 feet tall and slim, Mr. Obama stood a full five inches taller than John McCain- injuries and age have added to this differential as Mr. McCain is also stoop shouldered. It somewhat sadly put one in mind of the Kennedy/Nixon debate in the 1960 election cycle...a handsome, young, energetic man facing off with a worn old man.
