This apparently wasn't much of a discussion.

McCain's best moment was when he touched the petty officer's shoulder near the end and said "I learned everything I know from Petty Officers..."

His worst moment was referring to Obama as "that one" in reference to the energy vote.

Obama's worst moment? Hard for me to gauge, but I was worried when on a question about leaving Afghanistan he started with "We have to have the Iraqi government step up..."

His best? Either his very positive closing statement (I'm a sucker for those), or his "What I don't understand about foreign policy is why we invaded Iraq..."

Before the first debate, I said I'm hoping this is like 1980. People want to vote Obama, but they aren't comfortable with him. Seeing how polls have swung massively in Obama's direction since that 1st debate, I think anytime Obama comes off looking Presidential (and he did here), he wins.

So, Obama won, because he stayed unruffled by McCain's lies, attacks, and silliness, and was inspirational and competent.

Blankfist, the drinking phrases for the last debate will be: "I know how to <insert topic here>" for McCain, and "What we need to do is <insert some action here>" for Obama.
