Did O really say this..

Obama seemed to look to moderator Jim Lehrer for help, saying to Lehrer, “Let’s move on.”

For real?

I think that McCain won. I hate the expectation grading curve that allows one side to say "see, we showed up, so we win!" bullsh!t.

I think that both sides will find something to like in the debate (there were no KO punches with few "good shots"), but undecided folks just tuning in were left probably wondering about the Democrats crap about McCain "running from the debate". Obama was probably strategically unwise (tactically sound, tho) to pretend that McCain was scared of him.

The real good news of the debate is that the stop-the-campaign-and -run-to-DC thing is ancient history now. Let the fighting commence!
