When is the last time there was a really memorable moment in a debate? Debates are way overrated by the media and political junkies.

I agree. This was hyped like a heavyweight title fight. "McCain better come out swinging" etc. But there is a time and place for that and tonight wasn't it. The mood was too somber (maybe by design). If either candidate "came out swinging" they would have looked like a callous jerk.

So what we ended up with was a very traditional, almost sterile debate. McCain seemed to get in a few GOOD hits toward the end though, when the topics switched to Foreign Policy, the Military and National Defense--his strong suits.
