In a fist to fist, man to man, Obama would not have a prayer against McCain.  
Age or even good health, is not always the most important criteria when 
wagering on that type of male human behavior.  

The lack of eye contact could be for a number of reasons, I'd be curious of 
the source where that was published by an anthropologist, in regards to this 
one debate, and these two individual humans.

Obama could be blessed with many attributes.  But, we shouldn't pretend that 
something exists that we can see does not.  Obama shows more of his softer 
"feminine"? side than most men.  Perfect for today's Oprah world, and maybe 
better for the country.  

Women are much less likely, I believe , to engage in unnecessary war.  And, 
in my little part of the world , women are generally smarter than men.  (And, 
No, I am not saying that Obama is effiminate, or 'girly',instead,  more like 
the Alan Alda type). 

My wife says that he is quite attractive to women, I don't know how to judge 
mens attractiveness; To me Obama kind of has the appearance of a chocolate 
Gomer Pyle .. 

Right now, we could probably use a smart, less testosterone-driven president. 
 I still wouldn't vote for him, because of his big gov't ideas; but, I don't 
think he'll cause many more problems than McCain would have, in that realm.  

But, in a bizzaro world fight for 'winner take all', I'd wager on McCain.  
The one thing that would provide that this campaign does not, is relief from 
the absolute boredom and fatigue of listening to the two of them ....bobford
