Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

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

Shares your values

Obama, Before the debate: 54
Obama, After the debate: 63

McCain, Before the debate: 53
McCain, After the debate: 56

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

The one in bold (assuming I didn't screw up formatting) is HUGE.

Oooh -- I'm happy to be wrong there!

Grace is a nice antidote to debate stupidity.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

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...)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

CNN had reaction lines for undecided voters from Ohio.
