Every single attack that Sen. McCain has ever wanted to make, he took the opportunity tonight to make. Around 30 minutes in, McCain seemed to surrender the debate to his frustrations, making it seem as if he just wanted the free television.<br><br>Ezra Klein:<br><br>McCain looks angrier and more petulant than any participant in any major debate I've watched. Watching him try to stay seated is like watching a furious kid try and obey a timeout. He can hardly hold himself still.<br><br>Coates:<br><br>You just heard why John McCain will lose. He pivoted from an attack on ACORN and Ayers to his campaign getting the economy back on track. Worst segue ever. The two don't line up. Ayers and ACORN don't take you to a larger campaign theme. This isn't \"Swiftboating\" which took you to the War on Terror. This isn't Willie Horton, which took you to crime. This isn't \"States Rights\" which takes you to busing and the Voting Rights Act. It's just empty demagoguery. It doesn't say anything about what is foremost in the electorate's minds.<br><br>Eve Fairbanks:<br><br>I actually thought McCain's Joe-the-plumber bits were okay in substance, but completely undermined by his grin at the end. What's with that grin? I guess his advisers told him to be less dour and serious, but instead of making him look genuine, it has the total opposite effect.<br><br>Josh Marshall:<br><br>It seems like we've now seen McCain's Ayers/ACORN primal scream. I'm not sure Obama knocked anything out of the park. But at the end of it, I don't think McCain landed any solid punches either. And McCain was often incoherent and a bit kitchen-sinkish. Basically a draw, though if recent polls are any indication, the draw in debate terms may hurt McCain since people do not like McCain's attacks.<br><br>Michael Crowley:<br><br>...to have McCain directly address Joe the Plumber by speaking into the camera is a great idea, from a campaign strategist's point of view. It's sort of a theoretical ideal, actually. Were I to run for office I would hire whoever dreamed up that concept. The trouble is, you need a candidate who can speak in complete, linear, coherent sentences. McCain is not that candidate.<br><br>Malkin:<br><br>...someone from the McCain camp better have Joe\u2019s phone number and arrange a joint appearance pronto.<br><br>Peter Suderman:<br><br>Neither McCain nor Obama are doing themselves any favors bickering back and forth about who has the nastiest campaign, but McCain, after a strong initial attack pushing Obama to repudiate some especially nasty attacks that didn\u2019t come from the Obama campaign, comes off looking petulant, rambling, and cranky \u2013 a spoiled bully nagging the principal to punish another kid who once called him a name.<br><br>James Fallows:<br><br>...the ten minute or twelve minutes that began with Obama looking at McCain and talking about crowds at Palin rallies saying \"Kill him\" were riveting TV and seemed to reveal purified versions of the persona each candidate has been presenting through the previous sessions. This debate may matter less in the long-term outcome than the others, since that's typically true of final debates. But because the contenders are engaging each other more directly -- being at the same table, being physically so close to each other, having more trouble containing their emotions, being aware that the whole thing is almost over -- in human terms this is actually the most interesting.<br><br>Brian Beutler:<br><br>John McCain says Sarah Palin knows a lot about having children with autism. Presumably he thinks she knows more about this than anybody in the country. Presumably he also thinks autism is approximately equal to Down Syndrome.<br><br>Megan McArdle:<br><br>Okay, I wasn't voting for him anyway, but I find McCain's focus on attacking Obama, rather than his own policy, unbelievably grating.  His strongest performance of the night has been talking about the benefits of his own health plan, drawing a reasonable distinction between his philosophy and Obama's, and coherently explaining that difference, without resorting to either whining or calumny.<br><br>James Joyner:<br><br>Overall, I don\u2019t see how McCain helped himself tonight, much less hit the home run he needed to put himself back into this thing.<br><br>Drum:<br><br>I know I'm partisan, but McCain seemed completely out of his depth tonight. He was flitting from point to point all night without ever putting together a coherent argument, and grabbing miscellaneous attacks from the rolodex in his head whenever some bright idea popped into his mind. His energy level was weirdly erratic, tired at times but then suddenly perking up whenever he got annoyed by something and remembered some zinger that he wanted to fire off.<br><br>Jonathan Chait:<br><br>McCain lost the overall message of the debate. The cost of McCain's sharper tone was that he sounded more like a dogmatic Republican. Obama was softer, let many points go, but was much more effective at sounding like a moderate.<br><br>Dreher:<br><br>OK, that's over. And so is the McCain campaign. He was more aggressive than he's been so far, and he came close to landing some blows on Obama. But he never really connected, and for the most part this debate was as platitudinous as they all have been. McCain came off as sour, agitated and petulant. Obama -- man, nothing rattles that guy. McCain was two tics away from a vein-popping \"You can't handle the truth!\" Jack Nicholson moment, I felt. At one point, I thought: Which one of these men would I want in the White House when the 3 a.m. phone call comes in?<br><br>Wilkinson:<br><br>Verdict: Obama: D.E.F.E.N.S.E.

Every single attack that Sen. McCain has ever wanted to make, he took the opportunity tonight to make. Around 30 minutes in, McCain seemed to surrender the debate to his frustrations, making it seem as if he just wanted the free television.<br><br>Ezra Klein:<br><br>McCain looks angrier and more petulant than any participant in any major debate I\'ve watched. Watching him try to stay seated is like watching a furious kid try and obey a timeout. He can hardly hold himself still.<br><br>Coates:<br><br>You just heard why John McCain will lose. He pivoted from an attack on ACORN and Ayers to his campaign getting the economy back on track. Worst segue ever. The two don\'t line up. Ayers and ACORN don\'t take you to a larger campaign theme. This isn\'t "Swiftboating" which took you to the War on Terror. This isn\'t Willie Horton, which took you to crime. This isn\'t "States Rights" which takes you to busing and the Voting Rights Act. It\'s just empty demagoguery. It doesn\'t say anything about what is foremost in the electorate\'s minds.<br><br>Eve Fairbanks:<br><br>I actually thought McCain\'s Joe-the-plumber bits were okay in substance, but completely undermined by his grin at the end. What\'s with that grin? I guess his advisers told him to be less dour and serious, but instead of making him look genuine, it has the total opposite effect.<br><br>Josh Marshall:<br><br>It seems like we\'ve now seen McCain\'s Ayers/ACORN primal scream. I\'m not sure Obama knocked anything out of the park. But at the end of it, I don\'t think McCain landed any solid punches either. And McCain was often incoherent and a bit kitchen-sinkish. Basically a draw, though if recent polls are any indication, the draw in debate terms may hurt McCain since people do not like McCain\'s attacks.<br><br>Michael Crowley:<br><br>...to have McCain directly address Joe the Plumber by speaking into the camera is a great idea, from a campaign strategist\'s point of view. It\'s sort of a theoretical ideal, actually. Were I to run for office I would hire whoever dreamed up that concept. The trouble is, you need a candidate who can speak in complete, linear, coherent sentences. McCain is not that candidate.<br><br>Malkin:<br><br>...someone from the McCain camp better have Joe’s phone number and arrange a joint appearance pronto.<br><br>Peter Suderman:<br><br>Neither McCain nor Obama are doing themselves any favors bickering back and forth about who has the nastiest campaign, but McCain, after a strong initial attack pushing Obama to repudiate some especially nasty attacks that didn’t come from the Obama campaign, comes off looking petulant, rambling, and cranky – a spoiled bully nagging the principal to punish another kid who once called him a name.<br><br>James Fallows:<br><br>...the ten minute or twelve minutes that began with Obama looking at McCain and talking about crowds at Palin rallies saying "Kill him" were riveting TV and seemed to reveal purified versions of the persona each candidate has been presenting through the previous sessions. This debate may matter less in the long-term outcome than the others, since that\'s typically true of final debates. But because the contenders are engaging each other more directly -- being at the same table, being physically so close to each other, having more trouble containing their emotions, being aware that the whole thing is almost over -- in human terms this is actually the most interesting.<br><br>Brian Beutler:<br><br>John McCain says Sarah Palin knows a lot about having children with autism. Presumably he thinks she knows more about this than anybody in the country. Presumably he also thinks autism is approximately equal to Down Syndrome.<br><br>Megan McArdle:<br><br>Okay, I wasn\'t voting for him anyway, but I find McCain\'s focus on attacking Obama, rather than his own policy, unbelievably grating.  His strongest performance of the night has been talking about the benefits of his own health plan, drawing a reasonable distinction between his philosophy and Obama\'s, and coherently explaining that difference, without resorting to either whining or calumny.<br><br>James Joyner:<br><br>Overall, I don’t see how McCain helped himself tonight, much less hit the home run he needed to put himself back into this thing.<br><br>Drum:<br><br>I know I\'m partisan, but McCain seemed completely out of his depth tonight. He was flitting from point to point all night without ever putting together a coherent argument, and grabbing miscellaneous attacks from the rolodex in his head whenever some bright idea popped into his mind. His energy level was weirdly erratic, tired at times but then suddenly perking up whenever he got annoyed by something and remembered some zinger that he wanted to fire off.<br><br>Jonathan Chait:<br><br>McCain lost the overall message of the debate. The cost of McCain\'s sharper tone was that he sounded more like a dogmatic Republican. Obama was softer, let many points go, but was much more effective at sounding like a moderate.<br><br>Dreher:<br><br>OK, that\'s over. And so is the McCain campaign. He was more aggressive than he\'s been so far, and he came close to landing some blows on Obama. But he never really connected, and for the most part this debate was as platitudinous as they all have been. McCain came off as sour, agitated and petulant. Obama -- man, nothing rattles that guy. McCain was two tics away from a vein-popping "You can\'t handle the truth!" Jack Nicholson moment, I felt. At one point, I thought: Which one of these men would I want in the White House when the 3 a.m. phone call comes in?<br><br>Wilkinson:<br><br>Verdict: Obama: D.E.F.E.N.S.E. McCain: Hey, I tried.<br><br></i></div>\

Barack made perfectly clear what that past connection was, and by noting other notable participants, he neutered any hint of controversy or  implied impropriety.   Obama then took the opportunity to discuss who his current \'pals\' are now; trusted colleagues of various expertized backgrounds and political ideologies who advise him and have helped shape his current campaign platform.  <br><br>John McCain had no real response other than to insist upon another lame Ayers connection, and to futher blame Obama for the voter registration goofs by select workers for local ACORN chapters.   McCain couldn\'t process Obama\'s deft use of the \'connection question\'  to bring the debate back toward the issues--and instead had to go back for the mud he allegedly decried. <br><br>If there were ever a moment where it was cemented that Michelle, Malia, and Sasha Obama would be known as the First Family, that was it for me.</div>\

HE is soooo offended that someone compared his racist assertions with a racist? This is the problem with white privilege and color blind racism- prejudice based on race is ANYTHING but racism. And, you can\'t tell a white guy about himself- ever. Meanwhile, the Black candidate cannot come out and say "HOW LONG WAS THE GUY WITH THE MONKEY WITH MY NAME ON IT ALLOWED TO STAY AT YOUR RALLY?

This shows how stupid McCain and his campaign were:<br><br>If Barack Obama has been raising money hand over fist, month after month in the primaries, $30, 40, 50 million dollars a month..........<br><br><br>WHY IN THE HIZZELL WOULD HE CHOOSE A LUMP SUM OF JUST $85 MILLION IN PUBLIC FINANCING?<br><br>That\'s just common sense.  John McCain had his nomination wrapped up in February.  He had from February to June to study Barack Obama and see what made him tick.  He had an opportunity to see where Hillary went wrong and capitalize on that.  Instead he chilled out all summer praying for rain on the DNC and then choose a chick that he had only known for 20 minutes to be his running mate all so he could "one up" Obama.</div>\

When dealing with the negativism of the campaign, it would not have killed him to seem genuinely horrified at calls for violence rather than offended that anyone dare criticize him or some of his supporters. Or to wish Obama well. It\'s this lack of generosity of spirit that he lacks and that people want in a president. Obama still manages to say when he agrees with or admires McCain. In this whole dynamic, Obama seems more secure, more self-controlled, more mature. He is the Alpha Male on this stage, and McCain the bristling teen - aged 72. No wonder women seem to be so disproportionately pro-Obama.</i><br><br>Damn right.<br><br>That\'s it for me tonight, folks! I\'m trying to stay sane this week, so I have to turn off the TV now. I can\'t tell you how much fun it has been reading all the comments on the site. Y\'all are awesome. And I just know we are going to see some "Joe the Plumber" t-shirts tomorrow!</div>\

Even when saying it\'s been great to be with him. Maybe the transcripts will help me. But how often has McCain said Barack or Obama, compared to how many times Obama has said John or McCain?

And it\'s true that this was Obama\'s best debate, and possibly McCain\'s worst.  But for me, the story of the night -- hell, the story of all three debates -- is the sang froid of Barack Obama.  <br><br><br><br>Nothing can get under his skin. Nothing.  No attack can cause him to lose his equilibrium, to cause him to squint or gawp or stare like McCain seems to do three times every minute.  Barack Obama is a fundamentally cool cat -- and that\'s one of the reasons he\'s not just going to win this election, but win big. Americans respect a person who won\'t get thrown off his game, who won\'t let his enemies and opponents rattle him.<br><br>And Barack Obama isn\'t just cool -- he\'s redefined cool in politics.  He\'s gotten past 20 years of presidents who equate anger with passion.  There hasn\'t been a president who could keep an even keel since Reagan -- and even then, he was more easy-goin\' than cool.  Reagan was detached.  But Barack Obama is engaged, intelligent, and calm -- but he\'s no Adlai Stevenson.  He\'s always cool.  <br><br>Every candidate for national office for a generation is going to seek to emulate Obama Cool.  But there\'s only one Barack Obama.</div>\

But instead of course-correcting, McCain doubled down tonight -- coming across as angrier and meaner than ever before.<br><br>This debate wasn\'t decided on the arguments being made.
