70% of CNN's focus group thinks Obama will win.  Expectations-lowering didn't work, apparently.

(I missed John King's map!)

McCain sounds like he's struggling to keep his voice.

I'm not saying I'm entirely objective, and I'm definitely not saying I'm representative of the audience:

But, so far, I think this is a somewhat uninspiring win for Obama.

Is it just me or is the meter indicating that people really don't know what's going on much?

Follow-me response from Obama.  That's a slip.

He'll need to recover very well.

That (Obama's last spiel) was the highest I've ever seen the meter go.

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.
