John McCain is not known as a good debater (he's better ad-libbing), so even though this was supposed to be his "turf", some thought he might struggle against Obama, especially since he's been spending the last few days in DC.
Of course the Left is going to say he lost, and the right will say he won. What will the middle say???
Interesting that Yael T. Abouhalkah admits Mac won the debate. Yael T. Abouhalkah is a major Obama shill and Palin hater.
