Gonna definitely give the nod to Obama... especially with regards to the economy and healthcare, he presented his positions in a clear and articulate manner, while McCain just spouted out FUD that was handily refuted by Obama. These issues are the main ones important to the middle class and the undecideds. Got a bit bored and drifted in and out during the foreign policy/Middle East portion of the debate.
McCain needed to knock this one out of the park, after a weak showing in the first debate, and a Biden victory in the VP debate... which he did not do. This debate won't hurt McCain but it will slightly reinforce Obama's standing in the polls.
Can't wait till next week, I live about 40 minutes from Hofstra, too bad tickets for the debate seemed to be student-only.
