(BTW, he is better tailored this time.)

Okay, I upheld the performances, perhaps, wrongly, of Palin and McCain in past debates, but McCain is getting owned here.

I really thought McCain was gonna win this debate...and change things. But I can't say that he did. The begining of the debate he looked strong, but ever since the first question, it's been all Obama. Negative campagining, health care, roe v. wade, education...McCain was just not very strong, and Obama was.

Either Obama was lying or McCain was flat out wrong..even after Obama claimed the fine wouldn't effect "Joe the Plumber" McCain said it would, as if Obama didn't know his own policy. It's one of the issues the pundits will have fun with tonight...someone was clearly wrong.

I thought McCain won, b/c Obama has talked about the fine as if it was a good thing for the plan. When McCain pressed him on it, Obama said it wouldn't effect Joe the Plumber.

But if McCain was wrong....huge blunder!!

Obama just broke the CNN dials on his education answer. I've never seen anyone go off the chart for both men and women.

I said this after last debate. I've looked at non-partisan websites, about Obama's plan. Obama has never had a fine on small business in his plan. NEVER. When McCain said it last time, it was a lie. And it is this time. Maybe McCain needs to go read Obama's plan...or read factcheck, or other websites that lay out both plans.

I've been following the comments both here, on a very liberal site and a very conservative site.

The liberals by and large think Obama won.

The conservatives think Obama lied (and usually say so without saying McCain, in fact, won)....

And on here it pretty much went that way although the conservatives on here seem to think McCain won some portions of the debate.

Personally I couldn't care less, this is the first baseball game I've watched in it's entirety since May.

Uh, someone needs to tell McCain that Palin's child is not autistic.
