It’s the nature of presidential politics: unless there’s some major catastrophe, you’re always going to think that the candidate you were already supporting won the debate. Already, I’ve seen friends of mine from both sides cheerfully celebrating the fact that their candidate kicked the other candidate’s rear end.

I’m the same way; the candidate I already favored seemed to me to do the best job, which probably has more to do with my perception of him than any objective analysis.

The real question, of course, is whom the undecideds think won the debate, and did enough undecideds watch the debate to have any real impact?

I do have to admit that I turned away after the first hour. I mean, the fate of the free world is one thing, but I just had to watch “The Soup.”
