Doonesbury Say What?

"For eight U.S. presidential elections during the period 1960-2004, the rapid blinker during debates received fewer overall votes than his opponent. In seven of these eight elections, the rapid blinker also lost the electoral vote and was defeated at the polls."
-- Journal of Psychology observation, cited on net in reference to McCain blinking 3,000 times during the third debate

Huh. I wonder what Obama's blink rate was.
