Debating the Debate

I was able to watch a portion of the debate last night and I will try to keep any of my own opinions out of this post. What I would like to talk about is the coverage I have seen so far. I have been watching msnbc who has had a variety of journalists' commentary and there is certainly a battle line drawn. The ones with a reputation of a liberal bias think Obama won and and conservatives think McCain did. The LA Times says Obama should be satisfied in what could be called a tie on at least one topic (foriegn policy) that was supposed to favor McCain dramatically. Most say that it was one of the most substanitive debates in recent history, which is encouraging. More to come later...
