As much as we all wish Obama would just finish off McCain tonight

I think he did just fine. Actually, I think Obama was going for the kill and missed it by maybe 15 or 20 minutes. Basically, Obama kicked McCain's ass early in the debate. McCain was just starting to blow his top towards the end but time ran out before he could finally blow. With a few more minutes I think Obama could have finished him off.

That's not a bad thing though. You can't hit a home run on the first pitch every time. Actually, most homers are hit on 3/2 counts. We've got time here and best thing is, I don't think Obama lost ground on this.

1. A lot of people are just meeting Obama

The ones who we need to win would wonder why in the world Obama was being mean to the nice old white man who sacrificed everything when he was a POW.

2. McCranky old man would have blown if Barack had said "What Sen. McSame refuses to understand is"
