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.
