McCain, Obama Duel, Draw

On Friday, Senators John McCain and Barack Obama debated. Their encounter was equal. Concerning the economy, Obama was compassionate. McCain overstated spending. Concerning foreign policy, McCain was assertive and erudite. Obama was apprehensive and ineffective.

Obama is both articulate and eloquent. His liabilities are limited. If his podium ignites, he loses. Otherwise, he is even. Tonight, McCain achieved the expected. He achieved the requested. He may not have won. He did not lose.

i think mccain fared a bit better. he was combative, urgent, and more folksy. Obama was stiff, as usual, even timid at times as if he'd give a good concession speech. i dont quite understand the pundits who give the edge to obama....what am i missing?
