My take on this is that B.O. lost it early...becoming shrill and defensive....then tried to regroup too late in the "game" of "let's get under your skin by calling you John". He also lost his train of thought several times and overcorrected by using agreement tactics....that didn't come off well.

Just goes to show......you really can't get by with on-the-job training....and bluff your way to the top. He's a house of cards.

Keep in mind his job was to tie Bush to McCain at every moment. That was lost then comes back after an hour, then gets lost again. Obama was on defense all night.

According to Barney Frank, however, it is possible to BLOW your way to the top.
