Thresholds Crossed In Oxford

I don't think Obama disqualified himself as a potential commander in chief(even if he didn't reach McCain's level) and I don't think McCain disqualified himself as a steward of the economy (even if he didn't reach Obama's level.

Question: will Saturday Night Live mock McCain's patronizing attitude toward Obama? Or Obama's manifold agreements with McCain.

The news media dial groups / instant polls seem to give the night to Obama; the partisan professionals seemed to give the debate to their preferred candidate. Very little cross-over.

Hillary Clinton raised Obama's game. A lot of what McCain threw at him he's heard before, and he was ready with quick, concise answers.

McCain arguably flubbed more lines -- mispronouncing Ahmadinejad and Zadari and Pakistan's history -- mistakes that, if Obama made them, would be consequential.
