In Debate II, John McCain twice laid out the criteria for how the American people should judge the candidates: In tough times, we need someone with a steady hand on the tiller. By that measure, Obama was the clear winner. He was centered where McCain was scattered. Forceful where McCain was forced. Presidential where McCain was petulant.

Tina Brown, like her friend Arianna Huffington, is a mainstream media figure turned web mistress. Her new property, The Daily Beast , launched this morning. Brown describes her creation: It's a speedy, smart edit of the web from the merciless point of view of what interests the editors. The Daily Beast doesn't aggregate. It sifts, sorts, and curates. We're as much about what's not there as what is....
