After watching the debate last night, I decided to sleep on what I saw before commenting. Now that I have had that opportunity, here are my observations. First and foremost, this was John McCain's best effort to date. He genuinely looked passionate and angry during this debate. He also made several solid points, but lacked the killer instinct to drive them home and hit hard. There is no denying that Barrack Obama is a talented and charismatic speaker, and it's for this reason, that John McCain needed to continue to challenge him on every point, not just a couple here and there like he did. In short, McCain did well, but it may have been a case of too little too late here. I don't see where he did anything to change enough minds, or leave significant doubt in the minds of enough folks to help his bid for the White House.
