MY FINAL TAKE: This was a lot better than the Brokaw debate. McCain seemed more improved than Obama over last time, but scored no knockout punches. This time McCain looked like he was having a better time than Obama; Obama’s smirking was unattractive, but his closing statement was strong.

As I said before, the big winner was Joe the Plumber.

UPDATE: Charles Austin comments.

And so does Jennifer Rubin.

Roger Simon calls the debate dull.

Plus, a summary in tabular form.
