How to Score This One?

McCain was certainly a lot stronger in this debate than in the last one, though I do worry that his demeanor may have been a little too aggressive for a lot of swing voters. Was there a moment that A) will be remembered and replayed and B) helped McCain significantly? I can't think of one. (No, I don't think "Senator Government" qualifies.)

Did McCain win on points? Yes. Will it matter? I'm not so sure.
