Choose two of the criteria on your handout (e.g. demeanor, speaking voice, body language, sidestepping, etc.) and for each, compare & contrast Obama and McCain's performance during the Friday election.
A SILLY, MADE-UP EXAMPLE: (If I were looking at the use of their feet during the debate) Obama and McCain both stood on their two feet, using them to support the weight of their bodies. They were both wearing lace-up dress shoes as well as socks. I noticed that Obama tended to tap his right foot gently while he was listening to McCain speak; whereas when Obama was speaking, McCain's feet stayed absolutely still. Another difference was that McCain stood with his feet about eight inches apart, while the distance between Obama's feet fluctuated, between about two and ten inches apart at any given time.
