This was a lackluster debate compared to what it was billed as.
McCain repeated his scripted sound bytes literally word for word that we've previously heard dozens of times from the campaign trail. He did not come to the debate with new material. McCain was boring, mostly on the defensive and at times went off track into irrelevancy.
Obama played it safe. He is leading in the polls, so all he had to do was tread water and not be too dramatic. McCain was never able to push him into something that he didn't have an adequate response for.
