[just offered to counter the MSM dumb beat to the contrary {and from Newsweek no less}]

As your humble correspondent noted earlier today, one needs to have some training in reading liberal tea leaves in order to determine which candidate actually wins presidential debates. However, in the case of this Newsweek article, written by Andrew Romano, absolutely no such training is needed. The title flat out tells us: "McCain Won."

To remake the landscape, McCain would've had to score a knockout blow. He didn't come close. The question, then, is whether he can keep delivering such solid performances from now until Nov. 4--and whether even that will be enough.
