WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 (UPI) -- The Obama-McCain debates seen by some as 90-minute TV programs in which nothing happened actually may have decided the election, The Washington Post says.
It's still up to the voters, of course, but evidence from polls and focus groups suggests Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic contender, significantly improved his standing with a great many Americans since the first debate five weeks ago on Sept. 26, the Post said Friday.
