Live Blogging, Wrapping Up

9:26 Obama believes in Star Wars, did I just misunderstand that?

9:28 Yep, our reputation matters. Wait? Credit on the torture issue, didn't McCain vote against the anti-torture bill earlier this year?

9:29 Penny calls McCain an ankle bitter. Sounds about right. All snarky little digs, no good substance.

9:30 Good points by Barack about how our singular focus has allowed China to grab for power around the world.

9:32 Another good point along these lines to have a broad view of the challenges in the world

9:32 McCain just tried to compare Obama's stances to Bush's stubborness. Pardon me while I pick my jaw up from the floor.

9:33 Penny's reply to McCain's reform, prosperity, peace "ice cream, puppies, kittens"

9:35 I can't believe that it took this long for McCain to mention that he was a POW

So, final verdict? Open for the comments. To start off, Dave doesn't know that there was really a winner on this one.

True, McCain's grumpy. But this was not the smack down I was hoping for. Bummer. Maybe Rachel Maddow will come on soon to liven things up. Thanks for live blogging, Sassy.

The true winner? The sassy live bloggoids! Seriously, who ghost-wrote this stuff, it was rilly, rilly good!

David Brooks pronounced the debate a tie. McCain did not need prominent conservatives to view a foreign policy debate as a tie. A tie is an Obama win, no?

The big shocker of the night: during the obligatory birthday call from mom to the middle daughter whose name she probably sometimes forgets, Seana's mom admitted to being "undecided."

This is big. This is "Rays making the playoffs" big.
