I agree that McCain did better than Obama. Obama's greenness
occasionally showed and it is clear that the two candidates can't
really compare in life stories, even if Obama does a better job of
writing about his. McCain was more effective at connecting with the
audience and displaying his sense of humor. But it's worth noting
that this was a friendly crowd. McCain has rarely been so
comfortable talking about abortion and other social issues, but
rarely does he get to speak to an audience that so overwhelmingly
agrees with him over Obama on "culture war" topics. While Obama has
made some modest inroads among evangelicals, McCain is still
beating him among these voters 68 percent to 24 percent.
