10/2 debate

After analysing the debate from September 26th, between Senate Barack Obama and Senate John McCain I was able to find several similarities and differences. It was analysed for appearance, tone, interaction, and words.

Both the presidential candidates had similar clothing, they both had Blue suites, with a red tie to show patriotism. Obama had a white shirt, was wearing a pin, and had more hand movements. McCain wore a blue shirt, had no pin and was blinking more.

The candidates were speaking clear and slow so that it was easy to understand them. When McCain spoke it was inspiring when he said "our best days are ahead".

During the first section of the debate the candidates were listening to each other and taking notes while the other was speaking. It seamed like both were speaking more to the moderator than to the audience. During the second section of the debate the candidates were arguing, they were trying to cut each other off which seamed rude.
