McCain’s Conclusion, Obama’s Coronation?

On Thursday, Senators John McCain and Barack Obama debated. Their encounter epitomized their electoral status. Their encounter also exemplified their worst attributes. McCain was aggressive. Unfortunately, he was also churlish and rude. Obama was calm. Unfortunately, he was also smug and superior.

Despite polls and publicity, I have not pronounced this contest. In politics, one afternoon is an epoch. Three weeks an eternity. With that stated, McCain owned this evening. His percentages must soar. Otherwise, Obama’s victory is inevitable.
