I did not have an opportunity to watch last night's debate between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. However, taking from the many comments I have read on blogs and in the press, I think Clinton lost. If so, I think we now see the beginning of the end of the Clinton campaign.

The New York Times has more.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Times writes about an interesting poll that suggests John McCain is a likely winner in November:

In head-to-head contests, the poll found, McCain leads Clinton by 6 percentage points (46% to 40%) and Obama by 2 points (44% to 42%). Neither lead is commanding given that the survey, conducted Feb. 21-25, has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

The Arizona senator is viewed favorably by 61% of all registered voters, including a plurality of Democrats.
