I'd call it another tie--though I note that it's very interesting to watch the debate as a Republican in the middle of an Obama rally (Rock the Vote, which in practice and in membership is little more than an arm of Obama for President, was at the bar along with the Rock Band people.)
Overall, it was the exact same performance as a week and a half ago--Obama repeated the same "McCain = Bush" talking points even when they were non-sequiturs, while McCain remains clueless on the reasons behind his domestic policy. The problem is that Bush-bashing is a winner this time around, and McCain, through his waffling on the bailout, turned his chance at a big winning issue into a failure. Barring some major October or November surprise, I don't see us winning this thing.
