The audience seems to have decided that about -0.5 is the natural position for McCain.  They didn't love Obama's closer, but still, I think Obama won the sample group pretty clearly.

Smug is the perfect word for McCain tonight... he doesn't really have any room to be smug.
McCain is coming off like Al Gore did. Except with less (re: virtually no) facts.

Yeah, as far as specifics go, this was a landslide IMO. Obama was good.

I'm loving it!

a couple points I wish obama had made more though the war in Iraq was an unnecessary war
that has costed us the lives of over four thousand Americans  and will cost us 3 trillion dollars
we attacked a country that didn't attack us had nothing to do with 9/11, no connection to AL kida or any terrorist groups, that didn't have any weapons of mass destruction the whole administrations case for war was based entirely on lies.  John Mccain supported George  Bushes crazy invasion of Iraq and Barack Obama opposed it, which shows he has the judgement to be the commander in chief
and John Mccain does not.

just my thoughts all and all it was a draw.
