I thought this debate was a pretty dull affair, filled mostly with lines ripped from stump speeches and other talking points we’ve heard before, and I don’t really see what the point of having a town hall debate is if they’re so structured. Neither one of these candidates inspires much confidence, and both of them showed their own weaknesses tonight. Going in, I was pretty much convinced that unless Obama got a hostile question and responded by punching an audience member in the face, he’d be home free. But Obama avoided any major stumbles, and McCain didn’t have have any big moments to take over the debate. So, in that sense, you have to say this was a good night for Obama.
