Last night's debate was held 48 years to the day
after the first JFK/Nixon debate, which commentators
thought was close, with the edge to Nixon. But voters
gave it to JFK to the extent that history records it as
the turning point in the campaign. Today a consensus
is emerging that the same thing happened last night:
a combination of substance and style, plus the electorate's
desire for change, gave this debate to Obama despite
some pundit's initial reaction. And it may have all
but sealed the deal. It's expressed for example, here
and visually in the brilliant image above, by Al Rodgers.
