McCain needed a game-changer tonight, and he didn't get it

John McCain just spent the last 90 minutes sitting across from the next president of the United States, and he knew it. And he wasn't pleased.

McCain needed a game-changer, and he didn't get it. Obama was smart, calm, collected, even feisty when necessary - at his core, Obama was presidential. McCain was angry, annoyed, frustrated, and cocky. The snorts, the heavy breathing, the eye rolls. McCain didn't go on the attack enough to hurt Obama, and didn't come back home to his former maverick status enough to convince the middle that he's not a risk. Watching CNN, undecided women hate McCain. And they may very well be the group that decide this election.

Obama showed tonight, yet again, that he's the bright, hopeful future of our country. McCain showed that his time is past. There is simply no contest.
