He was more concise and stumbled less than he usually does, but he spent most of the debate responding to McCain instead of making his own points. So from a pure debate standpoint, he lost on that note. He let McCain define what they talked about and what his positions were and then spent his time trying to clarify his positions.
Granted I wasn't particularly impressed with either and Obama was bounds ahead of where he was in the primary debates, but Obama's staff needs to work on getting him on the attack instead of just defending for the next debate.
And Obama did misquote/mischaracterize what Kissinger said and he'll end up regretting that, Kissinger himself will respond to it and when he talks people listen.
So I think overall it's a McCain win, but won't move the polls much because it wasn't the best debate for either of them.
