I realize I've only posted anecdotal stories here, and I'm sure I'll move onto something a bit more analytical when I have something of the sort to say-- unfortunately, I had to miss Pres. Clinton's speech in Roanoke yesterday.

But for the first time in months I returned to my local pub, and caught up with some friends I hadn't seen since July. One of them, a young guy with a lip ring, wacky hair, and a penchant for karaokeing to the Strokes, joked around with me for a few minutes before dropping a bombshell I never would have expected.

"So, I'm glad I got to see you again before I go into the army."

Mind you, what I am about to say is purely anecdotal. I had to miss last night's debate myself because I was busy using my Bachelor's degree to earn $9/hr stocking shelves at a popular pharmacy chain-- and only that much because it's third shift.

So this isn't about my perspective on the debate, as it's still loading in YouTube.

I'm scanning the news and blogsites for others' opinions on what happened last night. And it seems that CNN poll numbers give the debate to Obama, despite the topic being considered McCain's home turf. And though I have to say, watching the show with Republicans around may have affected my opinions, I really don't feel that Obama had a very strong win.

Who says the debate won't affect the election?

The only thing I have to say about the debate.
