I’m no pompom waver, and I thought McCain had his best debate tonight. I thought he did a good job.

Michelle Malkin has some positive things to say:

No, there weren’t any knockout punches. But John McCain was still standing at the end of the night — doubts about his fortitude adequately quelled — and Barack Obama ought to be wiping the smirk he borrowed from Joe Biden off his face. Joe Wurzelbacher the Plumber was a heaven-sent gift for the McCain campaign, and for once, McCain didn’t flub the opportunity to rub the infamous “spread the wealth around” line in Obama’s smug face. Obama’s tin-ear response? Citing his billionaire “friend” Warren Buffett! Alas, Ayers and ACORN receded into the background. But McCain brought the education debate to the present and spotlighted Obama’s anti-school choice policies that render him woefully out of touch with increasing numbers of minority families. The best line of the night may have been unplanned (or maybe not)? In jabbing Obama’s spend-spend-spend plans, McCain called him “Senator Government.” “Senator Government.” It’s a fitting moniker for the Democrat candidate who spent the whole night talking about “investing” other people’s money. Perfect. McCain ought to call him that from now until Nov. 4. And someone from the McCain camp better have Joe’s phone number and arrange a joint appearance pronto. Joe made Senator Government squirm. Let’s see more. Better late than never.

CBS just puked out a poll declaring Obama was the big winner... by a bigger margin than the first two debates.

Agreed-not a big McCain political fan (although he is obviously a hero.)I'm voting against Obama no matter what. That being said, I call them as I see them. I remember watching the first Bush-Kerry debate in Key West and having my vacation ruined.

Mccain kicked Obama's ass tonight. Period.
