Polls Say Obama

I just don't get what everybody is saying about McCain putting Obama on the defensive. Obama never blinked, and he seemed a more decent person while McCain seemed nasty. The polls agree with me: Obama won in the NBC random poll, he won in the CNN random poll, and he won in Frank Luntz' focus group on Fox. People need to stop looking at this from a conservative viewpoint and start looking at it from a basically apolitical, independent standpoint. They are looking for tone and apparent reasonableness. From that standpoint, Obama won.
