[Homestead] Slipsliding away

I am reading Malcom Gladwell's book "Blink" which is about 
how people today make decisions in a blink (like choosing 
Palin...?), often based on feelings they can't rationalize 
or explain. Working with web design, this interests me 
because people have a very short time (a few seconds at 
most) in which they decide to either read more or click on 
to something else. I think a lot of people were turned off 
by the fact McCain would not look Obama in the eye. This 
may seem trivial, but if you read the blogs it was noticed 
in a big way by both sides and on a deep level it bothered 
them. To be sure, McCain's advisors will be coaching him 
to make eye contact in the next one.
