post-debate coverage

commentators think mccain was tough, put barack on the defensive--a street-fighter whereas barack is "cerebral". we're all incredulous at sassy. we thought barack was sharp, clear, deferential, warm, and presidential. i just don't see how anyone can say that mccain won this debate. the guy never even turned his body toward barack or looked him in the eye. he seemed like a snarky, petulant, bratty guy. i'm sorry, don't we already have that guy in office?

from 538--apparently the even-fancier-than-salon-sassy websites hook wires up to peoples brain which information into the internets and down their tubes and then we learn these nuggets:

10:10 CDT: [Nate] It doesn't appear to be on the web yet, but several commentators point to a CBS News poll of 500 independents gave the debate to Obama 40-22, with 38 percent declaring it a tie. Beware, however, because the reaction in these instant polls doesn't always match the movmenet in the horse race polls in the proceeding days.

10:01 CDT: [Nate] Independents in the MediaCurves focus group gave the debate to Obama 61-39. They also think he won every individual segment. Republicans gave the debate to McCain 90-10, Democrats to Obama 93-7.
