I think Obama won not because he was brilliant, but because he was not supposed to win this debate. I guess a 'moral' victory is the way I see it if there is such as thing in politics. This was supposed to be McCain's strongest point and I think Obama held his own. I do think his 'I agree' remarks will hurt him by the spin doctors and it got a little annoying but the way I see it, McCain was supposed to win by a landslide and barely squeaked it out at best if at all.
If this was purely about foreign policy however, I think McCain would have done better because he was clearly in his comfort zone. And come to think of it, maybe that was a reason he wanted to postpone the debate because he didn't want to share the stage with other issues.
