I did not watch the debate last night – there didn’t seem to be much point. Not that the race is over, but my time was better spent on other things. But there’s ample analysis this morning.
Nevertheless, polls seem to indicate across the board that Obama came out on top. I think that was inevitable – Obama is the better candidate, with better policies and better judgement, cooler under fire and more presidential. McCain is more like Nikita Khrushchev, banging his shoe on the table like an unstable nut.
By the way, “Joe the Plumber” is in fact a rich, white Christian Evangelical, and a registered Republican. Who told Katie Couric that he already knew who he was going to vote for, and that the debate didn’t change his mind. Is it really credible for the media to cite this guy as an ‘undecided’ voter?
