Obama nailed the first question from Lehrer. He said he supports the bailout, but with specific conditions, calling for oversight, taxpayer benefit and no rewards for fat cats. He was specific and direct with his answers, looked right into the camera, spoke to the concerns of the middle class. McCain muddled through his answer, and it wasn't clear where he stood on the bailout.

Also, who consulted McCain on his tie? It's five different colors and reads badly on camera.
