Spinning the debate

So called political experts say the debate was close, with some giving it to McCain, and others to Obama. But in this era of live blogging and YouTube videos, it matters not what the experts say, but rather, who the American people "perceive" to be the winner. Both campaigns are already calling the night a victory, trying to spin the debate into an event featuring their own success and their opponent's mistakes - Obama's campaign believes the debate showed that McCain is not in tune with the middle class, while McCain's campaign believes the debate highlights Obama's inefficiency at handling foreign affairs.
