Interesting, if true. People need to chill the eff out...no bounce has held yet and we are still way too far from the election for any one candidate to 'hold serve'. The Milhouse convention bounce faded, as did his 'Europe tour' bounce, and finally so did McCain's convention/Palin bounce...so, this latest Milhouse bounce probably will, too...leaving a tied race by next week.

I didn't watch the debate last night but just from looking at the aftermath, McCain at the very least did much better than W in his first debate in '04, and almost undoubtedly did much much better. And btw, the markets have been riled all year, the last 2 weeks is nothing new, so Milhouse would be hard pressed to hold on to this latest bounce, it will recede just as fast as it appeared.

It started slow with the financial crisis. I guess neither one wanted to point fingers but Jim Leher got them to arguing. He encouraged it. And once they were fired up and the subject turned to foreign policy McCain tore through Obama quite successfully.
