Last night's debate was the best of the three (a very low bar) - due in no small part to the efforts of veteran CBS telejourno Bob Schieffer as moderator.

The delighted reactions from the liveblogging of the debate over at PoliticalFilter (a group blog for politics junkies, a twelve-step program I definitely need to look into) captured the flavor:
