One Morninng-After Thought

The Obama team seems a little to content to jump to the conclusion that the debate was a tie and that tie's go to the one who is currently leading in the polls. Like it or not, Obama has some hurdles to clear to persuade the public that he's ready. If you accept the premise that last night was a tie (I don't -- McCain won by demonstrating that as a 72-year-old man he has the judgment, experience and ferocious energy required to be president RIGHT NOW) it wouldn't be enough to put a very close race to bed. He hasn't closed the deal yet (same problem as in the primary) and his performance last night left those nagging doubts about temperment and experience unanswered.

The question is: how can McCain regain his momentum?
