Last night, we were invited to join Richmond, VA, precinct captain Aaron Rabinowitz and his fiancé Emily at their home to watch the first Presidential debate.
After an arduous drive in the dark and rain from DC, we arrived just in time for the candidates to be announced.
Our view is that while John McCain looked decidedly uncomfortable and Obama looked positively Presidential, neither candidate was able to land a knockout blow on his opponent.
McCain looked tired, bitter and unengaged at times, and was contemptuous of Barack’s calm thought and statesmanlike assessment of the perils of our time.
It was encouraging to see Aaron’s family, friends and members of the local community at the watch party, and we thank them for their hospitality.
