"Obama tried to prove his magnanimity by agreeing with much of what McCain said."
And BOTH were in favor of the Wall Street giveaway!!!!
"On path to presidency, stark contrast in role models" by Peter S. Canellos, Globe Staff | October 7, 2008
WASHINGTON - Temperament, more than passion or even intelligence, is what separated the most successful presidents from the others.
Over the summer, McCain gained some ground by portraying his rival as a poseur, and Obama only enhanced the critique by arranging giant rallies that called attention to his stagecraft rather than his message. But the financial crisis shifted the debate over presidential temperament from historical role models to real-time leadership.
Then, in their first debate, McCain and Obama again demonstrated their different temperaments. Obama tried to prove his magnanimity by agreeing with much of what McCain said. McCain sought to be a fighter, delivering sharp putdowns and showing glimpses of his teeth-grinding intensity.
In the end, polls showed, voters seemed to prefer the more "presidential" candidate: Obama. --more--"
I'm voting Nader.
