Sullivan: Obama seems calm and cautious but then ... you realize he cleaned your clock.

Andrew Sullivan: Why Obama Won Big.

As I mentioned in a previous post about why TPM thought some were saying McCain won the debate, he points out this, from Nate Silver at fivethirtyeight.com:

The CBS poll of undecideds has more confirmatory detail. Obama went from a +18 on "understanding your needs and problems" before the debate to a +56 (!) afterward. And he went from a -9 on "prepared to be president" to a +21.
