I thought they both did ok and that was all. Obama's looking at and referencing his opponent by name better come off as a plus - McCain was talking to the cameras and not engaged in his environment - again. Hope indies saw that. Not a fan of Lehrer pushing so hard for a sound bite to hold them to or a complete platform rewrite based on the financial crisis. Seemed too much like looking for a gotcha moment. And I'd rather my future president not try and predict impact on policy from something that is still up in the air. I'll be checking in here to see if you are live blogging all upcoming fun from now on. Another nice round of live blogging Evan, even if it was a fairly boring topic.

I don't want to drink beer with anyone who uses either of those phrases (well, unless it's part of a drinking game, i guess...)
