I think that the McCain camp is trying to “hold serve” until we get closer to Nov. 4, and then unleash whatever trump card they’ve got stashed away (whitey video, etc.)
Just my musings.........
Too bad McCain doesn't seem to be heeding it.
Last night did feel a little like ‘sundown at the not-okay corral’.
Then they have lost.
A huge chunk of voters vote absentee and an even larger percentage vote by mail - all well before Election Day.

McCain was McCain, and that was the problem. He doesn't understand supply side economics. Obama's main idea was make the greedy rich pay, and McCain basically agrees with him on this, and said so. Because he has to, McCain pays lip service to tax cuts, but he's really all about hair shirt budget balancing, not ecomomic growth. He's Bob Dole, not Ronald Reagan.
In the Clinton vs Dole debates, voters saw Clinton likes me, has new ideas. Dole is old. This is a repeat.
I see one good in this. The worldwide asset deflation is far from over. Now Democrats, not Republicans will be in charge as it unfolds.
And they will saddle generations to come with unconstitutional burdens that will make the New Deal pale in comparison.
This is the key to why Obama will lead to the second great depression. Energy if the catalyst of productivity. Restrict the use of energy and you restrict productivity. Increases in productivity are what drive growth in the economy. Obama plans resticted energy use which will result in restricted productivity, recession and given our current economic situation, most likely depression.
I hope you're wrong but I fear you're right. Tax rates and trade deals can be undone, but a National Health (sic) Care system would never be undone.
Which is why brokejaw cherry picked the questions...no issues like guns, abortion, death penalty like would occur in normal town hall debates between pols..........all those issues make bho look bad and out of touch with mainstream USA.
I posted this in another debate thread. This would have been much more exciting if we had McCain debate Joe and Palin debate Obama. Why don’t we have a four-free-for all and be done with it and have Jerry Springer be the moderator.
I see a run on pitchforks, tar and feathers.
I like your optimism.
