I think Obama won because he was able to hold his own with McCain on his strength, foreign policy.

    Personally, I don't think either candidate stood above the other, which is better for Obama at this point (if the polls are correct). But I'd say the winner of this debate is the one who gains more points in polls from swing states. I'm very interested to see these when they come out.

    I think Obama was the winner. Not a home run, but very well on the points that he was supposed to falter in.

    I think it was Obama, I didn't hear anything new but I think that Obama stood his ground and reflected someone who would drive our country the right direction.

    On cnn, they're saying a poll of undecideds say Obama won.

    I think it was a draw.

    I believe that it was a draw....McCain started off strong and Obama was just accusing McCain of things that weren't true. But towards the end Obama's tactics started to get to McCain and his stances became grey. It will definitely be interesting to see the next debate and how they react to each other

    Draw. Probably overall that helps Obama, but it helps people forget about McCain's blunders in the past few days in the short term.

    I've thought for awhile.

    Though I didn't see the debate. I followed it old school on the radio while running errands in my car before I leave for vacation tomorrow. And on the radio, it seemed like Obama won early then McCain won the middle and it ended as a draw for me.

    Right on in terms of how it went. I thought Obama started out strong as well, and McCain got him bogged down a bit in the foreign policy stuff. They ended up about the same.

    I know. I was laughing about it. And, to be clear, it wasn't a scientific poll I'm talking about.
