... but let me boil it down to this:

When the details of this encounter fade, as they soon will, I think the debate as a whole will be seen as of a piece with Kennedy-Nixon in 1960, Reagan-Carter in 1980, and Clinton-Bush in 1992.”

Fallows is watching the US campaign from Beijing for The Atlantic. Thanks to the internet he watched every Democratic Presidential debate this cycle. His first, confident, assessment of the first debate is here.
