The debate from last night was much more exciting than the last one, and the candidates stepped it up a knotch. Barack Obama had excellent eye contact with the audience and watched John McCain very intently while he spoke. He kept a smile on his face throughout it, and appeared to be the more confident of the two candidates.
John McCain spoke better than last time, and made an effort to use past records to hold Barack Obama back. He was however nervous, and this could be seen in the way he was sitting, his facial expressions, and through what he was saying. What I didn't like though, was that he never answered some questions. Many of the times, he spoke around the topic, but not directly about it. One example of this was when asked to rank the topics of energy independence, education, and health care. Barack Obama recited his priorities and gave us reasons for his choices. John McCain on the other hand, said that all of them should be tackled at once. This answer clearly does not answer the question asked.
The polls will show the winners of the debate in the coming days- and I am rather confident that Obama's poll numbers will increase from it.

Yes, but as a McCain supporter, im SURE that you would claim victory for John McCain. But that's just how people's mentality works. People would usually find a victory for the candidate you are supporting (myself included). And John McCain also didn't answer the question about what he didn't understand. But that was just a weak question out of the millions they chose from. Another thing is that they both exceeded the amount of time given to them- they were both short of time. But yes, I do agree that Barack Obama did speak much longer at times than John McCain did.
