Obama says abortion question 'above my paygrade.'
Expect this one to be played over and over again. I watched a little of McCain's question-and-answer session, and he came off very well.

I don't agree that marriage should be defined as between a man and a woman, and I've made that point numerous times over the past 4 1/2 years.

But McCain answered that question directly. He answered every question directly. That's his strength. Sen. Barack Obama tries to impress you. McCain answers you.

Not sure how this will play out, but anyone who thinks McCain will be toast in the debates is underestimating the former.
