Did Obama Close the Deal?

Although I am a McCain supporter I consider myself able to impartially judge these things. I thought Obama clearly won the first two debates purely on style. Style goes a long way when there is such a contrast.

The debate before this one was supposed to be McCains strong area, the Town Hall format yet because of his war injuries McCain looked stiff and robotic in his movements and thus appeared awkward when moving around. He also had a knack when moving around to manage to place himself with his back to the TV cameras. Drove me nuts! Last but not least he appeard sometimes cantankerous where Obama was a vision of calmness with that superior little smile.

This final debate I thought McCain clearly won. He appeared much more "Presidential" and in addition to exhibiting superior knowledge presented it in an appealing way.

I thought Obama was clearly on the defense much of the night and did not have near as good a performance as the previous two debates.

I was shocked when the pundits declared that Obama won and snap polls immediately afterwards showed the same.

You can ignore the goofy voluntary polls at sites that draw people of a particular view. The CNN and MSNBC website polls are voted on mostly by the libs that watch them and the FOX news poll by the conservatives that make up the majority of their viewership. You have to look at scientific polls or at least ones done at a netural site. As far as neutral sites go the voluntary poll at AOL showed the debate tied with 47% picking each as the winner.
