But I take it you gathered it helped the incumbent, since you mentioned it in your downgrade, no?
That is my overall impression of the debate. To be sure, I do not think it's a knock-out on the part of Fitzpatrick, by any stretch, but it seems to me that Fitzpatrick talked about he's done or is doing for the district while Murphy is saying it's not fast enough and mainly running against Bush. Meanwhile, Fitzpatrick is distancing himself from Bush on just about every hot-button issue except stem cell research.
