Globe editors prnounced Flaherty a man who has found his voice and who could lead this great city of ours.
David Bernstein writes Flaherty did well, but so did the mayor, so the tie goes to the incumbent.
Peter Gelzinis defines the debate: Challenge to see which of the two candidates could best not answer specific questions. Adrian Walker overestimates the differences between Flaherty and Yoon. Scot Lehigh analyzes the mini-debate over "the Kid," i.e. Sam Yoon (Ed note: I didn't mention that in my debate notes because I wasn't sure I heard Flaherty actually calling him "the kid" - the kid? Jeez, he's six months younger than Flaherty - and the rest of the family wasn't paying enough attention to notice). The Herald highlights Menino's "jobs for votes" attack on Floon.
