The smug little smirk that comes across McCain's face every time Romney says something critical is really, really unappealing. They're talking about the Romney-was-for-timetables smear. Romney reiterates, truthfully, that he was never for explicit timetables. McCain responds by continuing to lie about Romney's record, and gets heated. When Cooper reads the whole quote out loud, McCain is hoist on his own petard. This could be the defining exchange of the debate, and I think Romney's winning it.
