    McCain just about edging it so far!

    I would say McCain started ok but has been really poor the last few questions with Obama starting slow but heating up now and well ahead on points.

    It's tight, Obama is more vague but I like the oil companies points! That'll hit home.

    McCain saying we can do everything! Will it wash?

    Obama went off on a tangent there with the 9/11 thing - not sure what the point was and it didnt really hit home.

    Better point there by Obama re scalpel v hatchet to the budget.

    Due to McCain being forced to go on the offensive more than Obama I think he is probably coming accross as less presidental.

    WTF was McCain on about with 700 billion going to terroists. What an odd random throw in

    McCain harping on about bailing out house buyers makes me cry.

    I think Obama's emphasis on 95% of the taxpayers getting a tax cut and those under $250,000 is a real strong point as it automatically links McCain with the Wall Street fatcats.

    McCain seems to be very keen on linking Obama to any bad policy decuisions/overspending etc.

    Obama making a great point just now about McCains tax policies favouring the rich, not the poor/average Americans.

    Obama seems to have his head screwed on correctly, McCain seems to be bluffing that he'll do much while (really just) looking after number 1 (and his friends)...

    Wow, CNN is absolutely ridiculous - they have about 30 journalists around 2 tables in the studio.

    Yeah, I know. They struggle to get in depth as they are so busy getting everyone's opinion

    MaCains point about Nuclear Power and Green issues doesn't seem convincing at all.

    I'm not sure if McCain is Hufflepuff or Slytherin.

    How many times has McCain said 'My Friends'? Soooo Patronising.

    He's like Uncle Albert from Only Fools and Horses ... he's been everywhere 'during the war' .....
