BBC - McCain won the debate

Grudgingly, but they admit it. It takes them awhile but they get there finally.

"But in the foreign policy section of the debate, it seemed to me John McCain emerged a clear winner, although there were individual issues like Iraq on which the Democratic contender more or less held his own. "

But the BBC didn't lead with that. Instead they led with this:

"I would say the two candidates finished more or less even on the issue of the economy..."

Well, if they're even there they cancel out and McCain "emerged the clear winner" on foreign policy, the purpose of the debate in the first place, then McCain won hands down.
