McCain = twitchy and blinky; I think he needed some Ativan.
Obama = COOL AS ICE ICE BABY.
I don't think the debate swayed anyone. Although I have big respect for Obama not losing his shit about the fact that McCain's supporters were yelling "Kill Him" at rallies. He's WAY zen. (Or possibly had a couple of extra nicotine patches on [this was a suggestion from The Boy].)
McCain went at the debate like he had nothing to lose. And really, he didn't. So props for that.
But I can't watch that twitchy blinkiness for 4 years. Jesus.
SMOOV IN '08!
I don't think the debate swayed anyone.
Not sure about that:
CBS poll of undecided voters:
Who won the debate?
McCain (R) 22
Obama (D) 53

The one in bold (assuming I didn't screw up formatting) is HUGE. The win/loss numbers are consistent with all the other debates, but the fact that this was a poll of undecideds, and a lot of those have been holding back on "I'm not comfortable with him" grounds, that's a big shift. When the trackers catch up with post-debate sampling, I predict that the trend will continue very much as it has been in the last few weeks -- it didn't decide anything in terms of final outcomes -- but with a lot fewer undecideds than there were a week earlier.

Oooh -- I'm happy to be wrong there!
THE PHILLIES WIN THE PENNANT! THE PHILLIES WIN THE PENNANT! THE PHILLIES WIN THE PENNANT!
Awwww!
this was about Grace NOT the Phillies.
I think I skimmed too fast, where were people getting the real-time up and down reaction info on the debate? (men were up on McCain when he spoke about abortion, McCain support went down when he mentioned Palin...)
CNN had reaction lines for undecided voters from Ohio.
