Will McCain Meltdown During Tonight's Debate?

The Really: With all the pent up emotion, fear and ill humor going around will the crowd root for a meltdown at tonight's debate?

Eratic is one of the nicer words used to describe McCain decisions from Sarah Palin to his white knight ride to the economic summit. Will Obama try to use the crowd emotion to get at McCain and rattle him?

McCain did not meltdown but he seemed to our eye, a little...nutty. If the primary threat at this moment was crisis abroad I would say McCain won slightly, but since the threat is in our own country, with an economy which has ground to a halt and middle class Americans are struggling as never before in my lifetime, I would say Obama's approach slightly won. We called this one corectly last week. This one is a tie.

In pre-vice-presidential debate news, after mock debate and press conference practice some McCain staffers have referred to Gov. Palin as "clueless" according the following article.

An early CBS poll (still in process) is as follows from the Seattle PI: Obama-McCain post debate polling: A very preliminary CBS poll has more uncommitted voters saying they think Barack Obama did better than John McCain in their first presidential debate. These figures are still preliminary and could change as more respondents complete the survey. But here's what we have so far: Forty percent of uncommitted voters who watched the debate tonight thought Barack Obama was the winner. Twenty-two percent thought John McCain won. Thirty-eight percent saw it as a draw.
