I haven't posted a poll in a very long time, but this seems like a good opportunity to do so.

I wanted to watch it but got side tracked until it was too late! I hope it's online somewhere!

I didn't watch it but I read highlights and opinions of friends. Generally speaking it sounds like Obama could have been stronger, but he generally came off sounding more intelligent then McCain (I mean really, North Koreans are shorter then South Koreans? ...okay, I'm sure his point was regarding nutrition and quality of life, but still, what a horrible way to make it), and McCain was far quicker to make meaner, personal remarks towards Obama and generally looked pissed off. So I give this to Obama, though I hope he can perform stronger in the next few debates.

On the plus side this was the foreign policy debate, and this was where according to some McCain was supposed to really kick ass in. It's quite possible that he's only going to go downhill from here.
