"That whippersnapper"

My prediction for tonight's debate is that the pundits will all agree that Senator McCain generally improved his performance because he avoided "that one" but left people under 30 scratching their heads when he referred instead to him as "that whippersnapper".

Also his statement that "I support any Democratic proposal that will get me votes" was off the mark.

And finally when Senator Obama responded to his statement that reducing taxes on everybody including Bill Gates and Warren Buffet would help the economy by stating that "most economists believe that a marginal increase of tax on the top 5% will have no appreciative impact on investment or job creation but if Senator McCain is so convinced of that why doesn't he suspend all taxes on the rich or even start cutting them checks?", Senator McCain's 1 minute 12 second gaze into the camera was a debate record for 'stunned silence' on behalf of a presidential candidate.
