Debates Best part of the evening: Obama's tie and suit combination. Lavender tie and a black suit is a spectacularly played fashion statement, especially against McCain's classic Red(tie), White(shirt) and Blue(suit) combo. Worst part: Both campaigns negotiate the rules for the debate in advance. I understand that neither candidate was probably happy with the end result rules, but they agreed on them. Pushing them aside like they don't matter basically makes it look like neither one respects themselves or each other. It almost goes without saying that the disrespect to the moderator was pretty astounding, and he didn't take it either graciously or respond as aggressively as he should have. Why should I believe either candidate will have any more respect for the laws and people of the U.S. if they can't stay within a simple debate format? Obama's childish "But McCain is did it first" retorts were probably his worst moment.
