Overall he was aggressive, made some good points on policy....things I disagree with but he still made strong arguments that may resonate with alot of Americans.

Obama seemed to be in a prevent defense tonight, and to totally abuse the football metaphor, held McCain to field goals all night.
If this was the 4th quarter, McCain won it 12-0, but Obama was already ahead by more than a couple of touchdowns.

McCain probably goes up in the polls after this, but not enough to affect the final outcome IMO.
