Yeah, I was really not impressed with Obama's performance. He's not all I could hope for in a candidate, not by a long shot.
The thing is, outside the debates, he's got a lot of momentum and the facts are on his side. Within the debates, he doesn't have to outrun the lion, he just has to outrun McCain; and since McCain's performance hasn't been too stellar either (pandering about individual homeowner bailouts aside) it's OK that Obama doesn't win crushing victories; he's just running out the clock.
