John McCain is due to arrive at his latest rally in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, shortly.

I had a quick chat with people in the audience. As you'd expect at a McCain rally they all think he did the better job in last night's debate, but it was interesting that one woman I spoke to said she could not bear to watch the debate because she feared that McCain would not do as good a job as he should. Pretty telling.

There are people - Republicans and McCain supporters - who are worried he has not been getting his message across.
