Debate #1: Supposed to be an easy win for McCain, because it was about foreign policy, Obama wins
Debate #2: Supposed to be an easy win for McCain, because it was a Town Hall. Obama wins.
Debate #3: Why is this supposed to be an easy win for McCain, and why will Obama win that one?

Er, CNN, that is.

Has CNN ever had a poll that didn't favor the Democrat? I don't recall one. By CNN standard polling, you can pretty much be sure that being a Republican will cost that politician the debate.
Not a defense of McCain. I missed the debate. I expect he was underwhelming, as he was in the first one.

Update the CBS:
http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/10/07/politics/horserace/entry4508356.shtml
"Forty percent of the 516 uncommitted voters surveyed identified Barack Obama as tonight's winner; 26 percent said John McCain won, while 34 percent saw the debate as a draw."
The earlier 39-27 was from around 400 uncommitted voters, at least when I heard it on KO's show. Basically when getting more in, 1% flipped to Obama.
Good job as always, Ezra.

McCain's fundamental problem in these debates is that he has essentially ceded every issue to Obama. (Except for crossing Pakistan's border! McCain feels very strongly about that one.) McCain is now running as the second coming of FDR and it's just not credible.

Once the race card is full the race begins, with players avoiding to buy Rom Gold and magical traps.
