My Favorite Columnist on the First Presidential Debate and Voting Early

I do not agree that Obama's performance in the first debate was as bad as Steve Hammer said, but he does bring up one subtle point that I find interesting:

"He looked ill, unable to focus, and not exactly sure he wants a job where he has to persuade people he's better than someone like Mitt Romney."

Maybe that night, Obama was feeling that way, at least unconsciously. I can't say I blame him if he was.
