Unfortunately i only caught the last 35 minutes of the debate. I saw no clear winner in that time. I definitely saw how my bias shaped the way i perceived things. Here's a few examples.

McCain was smirking the whole time. Big difference between a beady eyed smirk, and a smile of disbelief. He looked unhinged on a few occasions. especially during the abortion question, at one point he was visibly about to blow his top...that is scary to ME.

As far as Obama he seemed overly careful and unsure of himself. As if he was not certain what tactic to take. He also seemed to get stuck on his thoughts at times. Though he showed a calmness much more desirable for in a president, at least for this fan of ANTI WAR policy.
