Obama "wins" the debate

Misstatements and stumbles seem to be the downfall of John McCain.  The Obama website has been plastered with newspaper headlines claiming him to be the "winner" of the debate.  Time suggests he won based on his tactics and strategies, including: "...more knowledgable, and better suited to deal with the economic crisis and domestic problems the country faces."

Also found in the New York Times is the statement that "Obama dominated the economic portion of the debate."  This was CRUCIAL for Obama because of the current standings of our stock market and failing banks mortgage companies.  Personally, I believe it is going to come down to the economic and domestic issues when deciding the next president.
