It embarasses me to enumerate which of these I’ve been guilty of. “All of them” covers it pretty well.

Nice political judo moment.

Review of the debate highlights a key exchange on foreign policy between McCain and Obama, in which Obama sounds like the mature grownup.

Nasty moments in Presidential debates
The commentariat are going to love this moment, because it sums up some things that the conventional wisdom has been saying about McCain — cranky, really angry, hotheaded — and surfaces some new memes. Like disrespectful. Like borderline racist. Like, can’t believe he’s losing to this guy.
I think this is McCain’s “heavy sigh” moment.
