DEBATE? A DRAW, AND TIE GOES TO THE WHINER.
Obama was defensive, and made some questionable comments, and overplayed his "I agree with John" jiu-jitsu tactic, but to a non-committed voter, he sounded knowledgeable & reasonable, and that's all he needs at this point.
McCain did fine, had some shaky comments, wandered away from the subject, and waxed stentorian too many times for my taste, and may still have technically "won" the debate.
But this non-decisive debate, coupled with Palin's C-minus showing with Katie Couric, pretty much seals the deal for Obama. He leads in the polls by a good 5 points now, and should stay there, or even stretch to 7 or 8. If he can keep Biden under the radar (the press will help) and repeat this performance at the next two debates, he's in.
Of course, anything can happen, yadda-yadda. It won't. Obama wins Nov 4.
Then let the real mayhem begin.
