Although the pundits were impressed with John McCain’s debate performance, the polls showed another win for Barack Obama, who once again kept his cool against an angry, negative opponent.
McCain was able to land some attacks, but he was as untelegenic as ever — he laughed awkwardly and sighed heavily, and when Obama said that even Fox News had debunked the McCain campaign his eyes almost popped out of his head.

[…] A CBS News/Knowledge Networks poll of uncommitted voters said 53 percent called Obama the winner, 22 percent chose McCain and 25 percent thought it was a tie.
