For what it's worth, I really do think that the series of town hall meetings that were proposed by McCain would have been infinitely more enlightening for exactly this reason. They would both have to be off-script and say how they really feel about the issues and what they would really do to solve them.
A couple of other things: Here's a great article by Michelle Malkin called "Snapshots of the Tank." In it she details her favorite media-bias moments from this election cycle. Pretty telling.
This is a really interesting account by a former Democratic speech writer (who wrote for Obama, among others) who recently decided to leave the Democratic party. She talks about why she felt she had to leave, and about how difficult it was for her.
Finally, here's Bill Richardson explaining the nuance of the Obama tax plan - now middle class has dropped from $250,000 down to $200,000, then $150,000, now all the way down to $120,000? Even if he just misspoke, the fact remains that we've heard four different numbers over the past few weeks - nobody knows the real answer, it would seem.
