There wasn't really any new policy announced or anything. Except this "the government should buy up bad mortgages" plan, which, WOW.

Obama came across as the more steady, reliable, level-headed, and trustworthy. McCain looked desperate and whiny. There were some places he seemed like his feet were on the ground, but most of the time he sounded like he was pleading with the voters to come over to his side of things. "I really DO know how to fix the economy! No SERIOUSLY! I really DO know how!"

I thought that the town hall format gave both of them an opportunity to flex their room-working muscle. It's a McCain strength, which Obama topped. Aside from the physicality of it, I thought it was a fairly unremarkable conversation.
