Obama came out the winner on points. McCain held hi temper well, and did not freak out, but he was prone to nasty false statements--which Obama would just shake his head and smile at--and he did, indeed, like he had a rod up his ass and strings on his cheeks. He looked stiff and had a forced visage of artificial attention.

His closing remarks were good. Obama's were, as well.

On the specific issues, Obama was consistently presenting positive plans with clear descriptions. McCain, not so much, often resorting to general "good iseas" instead.

I think the consensus will be "A good debate, winner Obama."
