- Debate Verdict -

For whatever reason, I didn't think either of Obama or McCain were particularly sharp tonight. Not that it matters. Obama didn't make a major mistake, so it's not a game changer. McCain didn't explode, so the race is not over. The pundits will probably give this one to McCain, simply to keep things interesting, though I think the instapolls will once again go to Obama.
