Both candidates say they won, mind you McCain said he'd won before it even happened. McCain's advisors say he took the lead on all fronts, so do Obama's. There's a lot of people making their own judgements. Here are some of the best.

A quick poll from CBS:

40% of uncommitted voters who watched the debate tonight thought Barack Obama was the winner. 22% thought John McCain won. 38% saw it as a draw.

68% of these voters think Obama would make the right decision
about the economy. 41% think McCain would.

49% of these voters think Obama would make the right decisions about Iraq. 55% think McCain would.


Final word:

Having stayed up until 3.30 am I was disappointed, not to mention knackered. So, I'll leave it to a man who talks a lot of sense.

The BBC's Justin Webb, on his blog:


"Conclusion: All in all a waste of time. I take it back - Mr McCain was quite right to consider ditching it. Flabby and insipid - too long and too unfocused to tell us anything. Obama is cool and McCain is tough. Big deal."
