George Stephanopoulos gave it to McCain .. switched to FOX News, which I almost can't watch anymore for this reason. Bill Kristol et. al. watch debates with a technician's eye, like Roger Ebert spending an entire summer going over Citizen Kane frame-by-frame. These Beltway clowns have lost any ability to feel the ebb and flow of excitement or despair as it develops. My guess is that McCain will be called the winner tonight, but the Morning Shows will get it straight that Obama won. Too bad for them. McCain won, and Obama is caught telling easily refuted whoppers that will be bandied about the nation's water coolers, because the nets won't bother. McCain's fortunes should pick up, IMO. He was a man.

The next several posts are my thoughts as the "debate" progressed.
