There is no shortage of commentary on who was the boss Friday night. So, in order to fill the trough anymore, here are some of the best links I have found that comment on the debate and the reception of it afterwards.
- Dick Morris begrudgingly gives it to Obama.
- Thinkprogress.org:"ABC's Charlie Gibson and PBS's David Brooks and Marks Shields note that McCain never looked at Obama during the debate."
- CBS Instant Poll gives a slight edge to Obama overall, but a slight edge to McCain on Iraq.
- CNN gives debate to Obama.
- Run of the entire mill reviews.
Overall, my feeling in two sentences would be: Obama stayed cool, comfortable, and fired up at times. McCain went for the jugular and the heartstrings, staying feisty and aggressive throughout. A draw, with a slight edge to Obama because of the better aftertaste his performance left everyone.

- Fox News runs 4 pro-McCain debate stories, one slyly ridiculing Obama, and a non-story.
