So who won the first presidential debate.. the polls point to Obama

With Round 1 of the Presidential Debates complete, it is now time for the countless hours of analysis and more debate about which candidate performed better. Well, according to the new CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey, Sen. Barack Obama was the resounding winner.
Here is the article: Round 1 in debates goes to Obama, poll says.

Now this poll did not surprise me one bit. It is obvious that Sen. Obama is by far the better public speaker. I feel that most of the debates will probably result in the same feelings and sentiments. If it came down to just who was the best speaker, we might as well crown Sen. Barack Obama as our next president of the United States. This is not the case, though.

One poll fact I did find very interesting was this: "More than two-thirds of debate watchers agreed that both McCain and Obama would be able to handle the job of president if elected." With many other polls that I have seen in the past, the numbers have been far different from these results. I think it is just the fact that the majority of the American public has grown extremely tired of the Bush regime. It appears that people will be happy with almost anyone in the presidency besides President Bush.

I'm looking forward to hearing more about the debates and I am anticipating more of the same cut-throat debating during the next two debates before the election.
