I don't think anyone was that good. The Libertarian prevents any candidate from getting too much momentum. Even if one candidate has a good line of attack, they are also playing defense because the Libertarian can always come in. It wasn't a complete back and forth where a candidate can get the upper hand on an issue It's back, forth, back, Libertarian argues with the moderator about time and sneaks in an attack, then end of question.
Kelly isn't a great speaker but he comes across as moderate and normal. Masters can speak better but he's a little creepy. This shouldn't change much.
The real important debates are in GA and mostly PA. If Walker can seem like he has a two-digit amount of brain cells, he could right the ship a bit.
If Fetterman is too impaired, that could make his health concerns more salient and really change the race. Oz has some rhetorical skills from TV and Fetterman has trouble knocking even softball questions out of the park because of his language issues from the stroke. Fetterman could accidentally say something costly if he can't find the right words.
