Read the analysis by Michael Goldfarb here. Excerpt:

If the Senator wanted to remind GOP voters of seven years of off-puttingly testy behavior, he brilliantly accomplished this goal last night. According to the assembled focus group, the “change” barb was the worst moment for any candidate during the entire debate. Brit Hume said of McCain’s effort, “I think what they saw was John McCain perhaps at his least attractive. He was scornful. He seemed almost an occasional moment even petty. That's not the John McCain people have come to admire and like.”

Watch the debate tonight. It's going to be important.
