debate stuff

[dahled]

I'm not going to do any kind of in-depth review or break down or anything like that. Long story short - I agree with Chris Rock, it wasn't a knock out and that favors McCain. A "draw" is a McCain victory... even on his pet subject. I know, you prolly don't agree but you're biased. Not that I'm not, I just err on the side of caution. To paraphrase

Comments

I disagree

This was supposed to be on McCain's strongest subject, so a tie means that Obama wins, since McCain was supposed to kick his uppity behind.

Also polling analysis on how Obama gained from it: http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/09/why-voters-thought-obama-won.html

This was nothing but good for Obama.
