I watched this debate with great anticipation - McCain needed to deliver in a big way in order to save his chances at getting elected president. All the news organizations were saying that "the gloves would come off."
However, McCain was on the defensive for the most part. Obama did a good job at playing it safe- not saying anything too crazy, but still keeping McCain on his heels. McCain did however deliver a few blows on obamas spending history and tax plan, but again overall Obama was the clear victor here. This is not because Obama attacked mcCain vigorously, but because Obama didn't give McCain the chance to attack him much at all.
The third debate will be do or die for McCain. If he cant deliver a knock out blow, then his chances for the presidency will be greatly reduced. He will have to hope that he will get the big debate break he's been looking for, or that Obama makes a critical mistake on the campaign between now and the general election in November
