The Second Presidential Debate

I listened to the second presidential debate tonight between McCain and Obama. It wasn't much better than the first. McCain was still way too polite to Obama. McCain, I think, did a little better than Obama did. Obama was really boring, whereas McCain was merely boring.

On the campaign trail, McCain has really been kicking Obama butt, criticizing Obama's associations and bad judgments without apology or restraint, and it is powerful. Why he can't bring that same energy to a debate is anyone's guess.

The polls show the race narrowing again, probably as the result of a positive bounce from Palin's debate performance last week. Although Obama still has the advantage, this race is far from over and anything can happen.
