The way I viewed the debate last night is that it is similar to the Reagan-Carter debates in 1980, there was a huge block of voters who tuned in already leaning against Carter but concerned about the picture of Reagan as a wild-eyed warmonger which had been painted in the media. All Reagan had to do was to demonstrate that he was safe to vote for. The following day, polls showed a huge surge of support for Reagan. It was like a snow drift poised to slide in his favor and it did.

All Arnold had to do is show that he isn't a dumb jock or a robot, and it sound's like he did better than that.

Ariana, on the other hand, makes me wonder who in his right mind would want to listen to soundbytes from that harpy for the next 2 or 3 years. She has no respect for anyone, including the audience, and her voice is like nails on a blackboard. If anybody challenges her, she accuses him of sexism. She's like a fly in the room that you can't swat.
