Debate Reaction Cacophony

The first presidential debate is in the books. Who won? As always, no matter what your wacky view is, you can find a supposedly credible somebody who agrees with you. Behold:

Jim Geraghty: Major Win for McCain

Tom Bevan: Solid Win for McCain

Jonathan Last: McCain wins handily

Mickey Kaus: A Small Victory for McCain

Byron York: Obama plays nice guy and loses

John Dickerson: It was a tie!

Dan Balz: It was a dead heat!

LA Times: Too Close to Call

Joe Klein: Obama Wins Debate

Clive Crook: Comfortable Win for Obama

Madeleine Albright: Breakthrough Night for Obama

Dick Morris (of all people!): Obama Won

David Corn: McCain loses by not beating Obama to a bloody pulp

Chuck Todd: One of the best debates in a long time

Roger Simon: One of McCain's Strongest Performances ever

Josh Marshall: McCain seemed "angry, angry, angry"

Reid Wilson: Echos of Reagan and Clinton

NY Times: Crotchety McCain

Tom Shales: McCain was Condescending and Rude


There you have it, a clear consensus.
