After campaigning for Two days throughout Ohio, a 'swing state' in which he and McCain are "Statistically tied," Barak Obama squared off once again with McCain for the third and last debate of the election, this time in NY. Although the group of undecided voters in the CBS studio mostly tended to lean towrds McCain, who they said showed to be more presidential than Obama and much better than in previous debates, polls made to homes and over the internet show Obama comfortably winning the debate. A big issue tonight was supprisingly personal, having to do with both candidate's tendencies to attack the other candidate rather than polocies, or discussing issues. this conversation, ironically enough, ended with attacks from both candidates.
Obama was reported to be calmer than McCain. This is reportedly caused in part by his reported 8% national lead over McCain. He may have been acting calmer in an effort to look more presidential, while McCain would surely over exert himself, trying to make attacks to make Obama look bad. This apparently paid off for Obama.
Obama is flying to Londery, New Hampshire to campaign tomorrow.

I don't know if this is just an aberration or something bigger, but on NBC, of the six "undecided voters" that appeared, three of them leaned toward McCain at the end--and yet I read the same information that the polls seem to think Obama won the debate. I'll be watching the national poll numbers over the next few days to see if they change, but to be honest, I didn't think McCain did all that bad in the first debate, and I was surprised he didn't rise in the polls as a result.
Does the national rank have any substantial significance? After all, isn't the election just 50 independent ones (+one D.C.)? Why do the campaigns/gotcha liberal media (joke) focus on the national stats so much when the state ones are that matter?
