The biggest argument in this article seems to be that there is a greater significance to these presidential debates than the last because of how revealing they have been. In this case, I would have to disagree. Peggy Noonan offers many good opinions from a obviously subjective point of view, but with no substantial evidence to suggest that these debates are any more historic than the last. The biggest difference in this debate, I believe, is that both candidates have "revealed" how easy it can be to point out the other's mistakes. It has become very apparent that both candidates are playing dirty in the debates and in the media. This kind of behavior isn't new in an election; it's simply exploited more in this debate. 

Noonan also comments by saying that Obama "doesn't seem to be winning the post debate" though numbers have shown that the second debate has benefited Obama just as much as the first debate hurt him. She also says that Obama's comments towards Romney about being "a good man" were "pro forma" and "hollow", though Romney has also given the president compliments that some people may agree were also "hollow" and not genuine. This article was far too opinionated for its lack of evidence and support. This election will be marked down in history like all the others. At the end of her article she leaves the reader (most likely a republican) by asking "Everything... depends on one thing:American wealth... If we are wealthy, we can be strong. If we are not wealthy, we will not be strong for so long... True or not true?" The idea that wealth is power is, in my opinion, false. I'm not ignorant to the fact that in order to be a prosperous nation we do require a strong,  productive economy that makes money, but we have been successful many times in the past without wealth. The American Revolution and World War II are examples of how successful we've been without "wealth".
