(I'm including the possibility here that McCain may have received advice over his cell phone from advisors who were watching the Obama interview.)&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;WHAT TO LOOK FOR:  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;1. Evidence of not telling the truth.  The initial interaction between McCain and Pastor Warren provides a suitable calibration point, as they both knew McCain had not kept his commitment to remain in the "cone of silence" during Obama's interview.  Visible difference in stress levels between the first and second halves could be an indication of hanky panky regarding the first half.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;2. Quicker response times during the first half.  I was particularly struck by McCain's NEGATIVE response times in some cases, where he couldn't even wait until the question had been posed.  I believe all of these occurred during the first half.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;3. Shorter answers interspersed with premeditated anecdotes during the first half.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;4. More logical "gap" time in the second half, where McCain has to think in order to produce a thoughtful answer, because he doesn't already know the answer. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;WHAT TO DO WITH THE INFORMATION:  Report the results ASAP to truthfightsback.com.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;- Jim Williams&lt;BR/&gt;  jgwilliams@mindspring.com</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4257917002416684161/2650325704921302120/comments/default/7184294842406021231'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4257917002416684161/2650325704921302120/comments/default/7184294842406021231'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/08/pastor-warren-contradicts-self-on-cone.html?showComment=1219076807647#c7184294842406021231' title=''/><author><name>Page Notes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04807691275030706195</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/08/pastor-warren-contradicts-self-on-cone.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257917002416684161.post-2650325704921302120' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4257917002416684161/posts/default/2650325704921302120' type='text/html'/></entry>
