Well, it is pretty much over. McCain was unable to effectively deal with why his health care plan was better (and the importance of de-coupling it from employers, and allowing price competition to work more robustly) , and how he was not giving tax cuts to the rich (he's keeping the rates the same), but to corporations, intangible entities, whose value is tanking, and owned by your pension plans (yours and mine), who have the highest tax rates in the world or close to it, and will be sending jobs overseas, unless the tax rates become more competitive with the international standard.
Brokaw let Obama break every debate rule in the book and run way over time, and probably consume 60% of it, and McCain let him get away with it.
McCain sucks as a debater. It's sad.
It wasn't really a town hall debate by the way. It was Brokaw giving out boring questions through the mouths of others. And he culled out anything to do with social issues. And of course nothing about Ayers etc.
