I didn’t watch the debate.
Did McCain even bother to mention the whole mortgage fiasco, ACORN, Freddie and Fannie, and the reason the country is even in this mess?
I’m guessing that he did not.
What the HELL is the matter with him?
It is MADDENING!

McCain pointed the finger at the Democrats and Obama for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

McCain hit several zingers last night. Too many people are consumed with waiting for McCain to hit a home run out of the park. McCain, rather is on the mound, throwing some nasty pithes at Obama that is making Obama look very bad at the plate.

Voters are going to start doubting Obama's ability to lead when McCain finishes.

With NBC and Brokaw putting on the show you should not be surprised. It was not a town-hall debate, in fact hardly a debate at all. Brokaw and company selected the questions to be used, and carefully managed the evening to assure it ended according to their script. And it did.

There was no place, IMO, where McCain could have logically moved it to character issues. This, of course, is a major issue.

Yes he mentioned it but there was no follow up and it didn’t seem to hit home. No one’s talking about it this morning. I’ll be listening to Rush today and I’m guessing he’s going to be really pissed McCain didn’t unload on Barry.
