John McCain won the debate Wednesday by putting Barack Obama on the defensive, but he didn’t follow up and land a knockout blow with his attacks on Obama for not repudiating the remarks of Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) and for suggesting that Weather Underground member William Ayers was just an educator, writes Matt Lewis. McCain was able to explain why Obama, whom he called “Senator Government,” is wrong during turbulent economic times by talking about “Joe the Plumber” instead of Warren Buffett, writes Amanda Carpenter, who thinks the Republican’s performance at least keeps him in the race.
