I pretty much see this the same as you. I do think that the Obama performance tonight was about the best he has in him. He wears very thin in just a short time and I doubt that I am alone in finding him uninteresting and painful to listen to. He is programmed and agenda driven. He obviously, especially at the beginning, was supposed to work in George Bush as a negative but McCain ignored it and soldiered on. OBama is quite the smooth hustler. McCain was good even tho off to a rough beginning. Which means that John McCain can be expected to do very well in following debates. If this debate was the best that Obama could do, as I believe, and not the best that McCain is capable of, we are in good shape.

I think you are right. This was Obama at his absolute best. This was McCain at his fatigued and unpracticed. I see great things in store for the next debate.
