Was it a win? No. I think you can see by the reaction on here that a lot in the base were disappointed. Was it a loss? Not really in the sense that I don’t think Obama did any better and don’t think he will gain any momentum. In the sense that McCain missed a huge opportunity to reverse recent trends then I guess it is a little loss. The Obama camp is probably fine with the idea of just holding serve. Heaven knows though that BHO left himself open to attack a lot of times and for whatever reason McCain didn’t nail him.
Format, MSM moderator, MSM question selection, were puposeful to keep O in “safe-zone” and M’s new topics out of play.
They KNEW WHERE M WAS LIKELY TO HEAD, BAD FOR MSM PRETTY BOY.
