McCain is not muzzled by advisers and kept out of the lens because he really doesn't want to viewed up close and personal. I can understand why.

I'm not sure if Sen. McCain's comment was sincere or satire - I guess you had to be there. Sound bites are almost always taken out of context, or at least that what Sen. Obama claims.
If the election is won or lost on sound bites, that just means a significant percentage of American voters need daily doses of ritalin. There's a lot more about both of the candidates than the quickie blast on the screen where the news anchor gets more exposure than the event.
