You're correct, SB. Obama did not have to be feisty. In fact, he was praised on CNN and MSNBC as being cool & collected. But he was also criticized by some for "not closing the deal" like he failed to do in the primaries. Had he done what I said, without getting personal and nasty, he may have scored a few more points with undecideds or independents. But in the end, Obama did what needed to not have a major gaffe and to maintain his lead.

One other thing that made me chuckle. McCain looked so mad at points last night that I thought a vein in his forehead would burst. The camera would do the split screen while Obama was talking and McCain's face would contort and his one eye would close a bit. That look by McCain reminded me of Popeye.
