I completely disagree that McCain showed his age in the least. He actually looked very sprightly and I suspect he has his Mother's constitution. Veiled references to his age is just another tact to try to undermine him. Check out his campaign schedule and you will see he has plenty of energy and vitality and will have no problem with the job.

I do agree that it was a close one and give McCain the win on points where he needed more of a knockout (and I could accept the argument that it went the other way but I don't think so). Having said that, the polls are starting to tighten again (Obama is down 1% in the RCP average) although the electoral college map looks more daunting. I suspect the race will continue to tighten as McCain defines Obama for who he is (more liberal than the last two Dems the electorate didn't pick) and it will be a nail biter on election day.

What is interesting is watching the media template that if Obama loses then it will be because he is black (Gergen, Carville, Begala, etc.). If he loses it will be because he is too liberal and the undecided voters don't know him well enough to trust or when they really get to know him they won't like him. My view is that if he wins one reason will be that the black vote went for him overwhelmingly......not that I blame them, but imagine if 95% of white voters voted for McCain and only 5% voted for Obama. I can only imagine the headlines. Fortunately that will never be the case. So, I am of the view (with no hard data to back this up) that between the additional 2%-3% of additional black vote and a larger black voter turnout it will more than compensate for those that won't vote for him because of the color of his skin. Something I find reprehensible, but they are out there and they do vote.
