Not ready for prime time - Via Winds of Change "The nub of the problem": "While hammering McCain for being a politician and Palin for being unprepared make good copy and excite the base (including the base working in big media companies) it doesn't reassure the typical voter that Obama is ready for the Big Comfy Chair."

Twice as many unaffiliated voters said that McCain is ready for the Presidency while Obama is not. Unless there's a big "gotcha" moment, I can't imagine the debates are going to move these numbers.
