I could only stand to watch a few minutes of it. I doubt any useful information will be discussed there. McCain looked good but sounded tired and was kind of like a broken record. Obama didn't sound particularly good to me either. Maybe off balance or tired or something. Maybe it's me and I've just got campaign fatigue.
This was a good debate. It was pretty heavy in that actual issues were discussed, rather than hot-button, simplistic image "issues," but for that reason it was a bit frustrating. Two minutes is enough to give the outlines of your philosophy, but not the detail. Obama acquitted himself very well - looked alert, capable, and informed.
