When both senators walked out at the beginning of the debate, Obama's confidence over shined McCain. Obama responded to the debate questions with strong answers and confidence in what he was saying. He answered by saying his words in bullet points and numbers, which I like because it is easier for the listener to follow what he is saying. The eye contact with McCain, the audience, the camera, and the mediator were strong. He would turn to McCain at times and talk directly towards him.
Although McCain's confidence level was not showing as much as Obama's, McCain did have good hand motions that flowed good along with the words to his answers. Also, he spoke about how he is older which relates to all the experience he has. He seemed nervous in the beginning, his voice was quiet and almost weak. By the second question he seemed to stand firmer with his answers. When the mediator said they had to move on, McCain interrupted him twice. Also, when asked about three times to respond directly back to Obama, he did not.
Overall, Obama stood out as the stronger debater. He had good eye contact, a strong speaking voice, and clear concise answers.
