Fast Blinking

I'm watching the first presidential debates. I represent LOTS and lots of criminal defendants, interacting with them on a nearly daily basis. Of course I'm biased even before these debates started so I chose a personal metric I'm personally familiar with, -- eye-blinking. It's not the most scientific in that these debates don't really give good contolling metric . . . every human must eventually blink and even often, but given the moderator who might give a reasonable variable to compare against, to me McCain is blinking WAY more than Obama especially considering the moderator who is a far slower blinker than either of them. I would be happy to hear other people's impressions as well as any objective (ie not me) on this metric. But it seems to me that McCain is fundamentally incapable of finishing a sentence without an ABUNDANCE of blinking where Obama seems to keeping that to a minimum. For sake of relevance, I'm comfortable with accepting that Obama blinks more than the moderator, however McCain seems to exceed that during his own answers by a long shot. It might have something to do with McCain's PTSD. However the camera doesn't lie, and if I am I'd like to hear about it from other less biased folks who actually watched it. I'm still watching so I'll check back after the debate.
