The debate only a few minutes in the past, some bloggers (and apparently the Obama's post-debate spin machine) have already latched onto McCain's use of the phrase "that one" to refer to Obama, and to the apparent confusion over whether or not they shook hands.
Stop it. Just stop it.
You just saw our guy absolutely own John McCain for 90 minutes. He spoke eloquently, directly to the audience and the viewers at home, connected his abstract vision and principles with concrete policy proposals, he shared bits and pieces of his life with his mother and grandparents, he reminded us that yes, Democrats have teeth on national security, and he made a call for national service that left me stunned.
I really dislike the focus on trivia during elections, and this is yet another instance where it's totally distracting and entirely unnecessary. And it makes the people who focus on these perceived slights look like whiny beeatches.
When you've got a candidate like we do, you don't need phantom handshakes.
