A pretty fair and balanced review about an 1.5 hours on each man. What I got out of it was that neither man is a very good choice.

On one hand you have Obama, a very popular, smart individual, who is a very good professional politician, who has never taken a controversial stand on anything, and has no executive experience. He does not seem to be one of those affirmative action guys, and Harvard Law Review is pretty impressive. His morals seem to be very high. I have no idea where he would lead the country or would react in a 9-11 crisis.
  On the other hand you have McCain, who takes stands on issues, I don't always agree with, who probably is not as smart academically,
probably has more friends in both parties, so legislation may get passed easier. Supposedly would react better in a crisis, which we may not have again. He is a big fan of supply side economics, that I don't agree with when you have large deficits.

Bottom line is, it probably does not matter.
