4. On CNN, a commentator interviewed an independent in a focus group. He said that.

Guy said that he was independent, leaned toward Obama. Said the debate reminded him of JFK - Nixon in 1960. Said Obama looked calm and presidential, while McCain looked grumpy. Edited to add - the independent guy also said that he thought that McCain seemed nervous, ill at ease.
