Live-blogging the debate

My Register collegues Mark Landsbaum, Steve Greenhut and I live-blogged the presidential debate/town meeting tonight, over at the Register's Orange Punch blog. Quick verdict: McCain needed to create a game-changing situation, to win dramatically, to start to turn the campaign around. The debate was close to a tie, so the tie goes to Obama. McCain already missed his best chance by not opposing the stupid and harmful $700 billion bailout, thereby getting on the side of the people.
