I've got many thoughts regarding the debate tonight with John McCain and Barack Obama, but I'll touch on a few for the time being...

First, as the graphic shows, McCain overwhelmingly won according to the poll taken by Drudge immediately after the debate.

Both campaigns are going to spin it so they feel they've won, but the poll shows otherwise. Drudge is as independent as they come, so this poll isn't skewed by partisan readers.

I watched the full debate on CNN HD and will cover that in more depth tomorrow. What I immediately noticed during this debate was apparantely not only picked up by me. Throughout the debate, Barack Obama made the statement You're right John or something similar. From what I understand, this has already been picked up and turned into a commercial from the McCain campaign...talk about speed! I took notes during the debate and planned on doing one myself, but of course there's no need now...

It will be interesting to see how the media spins the debate. While I feel McCain performed better, I also understand that this debate was essentially a wash, and will not be a game-changer this election. Tomorrow, I'll have a more detailed analysis of the debate, along with audio analysis. For now however, and you won't find this anywhere else - Here is full, unedited audio of the debate, as I captured during the debate. Please note, the audio is a very large file at just under 55mb for the full debate, so it may take some time to load on slower connections.
