Help me help you. Would you feel better if I found a columnist from USA Today who said the debates mattered? I can see why that would matter to you.

Looks like the 3rd debate really did have an impact.

Quote:
The poll, which found Obama at 44 percent and McCain at 43 percent, supports what some Republicans and Democrats privately have said in recent days: that the race narrowed after the third debate as GOP-leaning voters drifted home to their party and McCain's "Joe the plumber" analogy struck a chord.

Good. We agree you were wrong about it not having an impact. We can next agree you were wrong about it helping Mccain. I look forward to our future agreement.

Just so we're clear, the only debate I said had no impact was the 2nd.

NC still hasn't been called (on CNN), but clearly it was more in contention than I thought.
