overheard some of the Obama supporters say that they thought he WON the debate, and that he gave intelligent answers, and that McCain just kept calling him naive. okay.

I watched some of the debate. On style, you could call it about even. Which means if you're for McCain, you'll think he outdid Obama, and if you're for Obama, you'll think he won it.
Beyond that, I didn't see anything either of them did to make me go "yea!". I did see plenty from Obama to make me go, "Oh, Lord, please don't let him win." The interesting thing on CNN was their little focus group emoto-meter or whatever it was. Independent voters tended to react more favorably to Obama, but it was not a wipeout by any means. I'd say their little stripe tended to Obama about 55% of the time and to McCain about 45% (wildly unscientific observation on my part!). But, then again, I think "independents" who call themselves that in order to get included in a CNN focus group are more at least 55% more likely to be in the can for Obama anyway, so there y'go.
Which now brings me to polls ---- I'm the first to get sweaty when I see poll swings toward Obama. Scares me, frankly. But, the more I watch and the more I see the very lack of enthusiasm about Obama causes me to think that people are going to be far more reserved and cautious in voting than the media is giving credit for. That breaks for McCain, doesn't it? I think so anyway.
Gonna be a close one.
Maybe I'm just feeling better because Alabama won. I dunno.
Oh, and the pound has dropped against the dollar today -- I meant to mention that. If foreign investors are suddenly feeling better about American dollars when we're in the mess we're in, that tells me that there is more confidence in us -- period -- as is than there is confidence by them in the more enlightened nations of the world (ahem) that are ga-ga over Obama. For what that's worth.

NO! Just trying to keep my common sense in check after an exhilirating win. No rubbing in -- I promise! Just happy with the win.
