Sure McCain needs to fight, but Political history has always proved that the best time to go negative and release dirt is the last 10 days of the Election.

The fact that left wing liberal egalitarian policies contributed to getting us into this housing mess is not exactly a secret worth keeping till election night eve.

I must be more passionate about politics than I am about sports now (God help me) because I did something that I have never done watching a football game....I got pissed off in the first 20 minutes of the debate, turned off the TV, had a glass of wine, ate and then went to sleep. 5 more minutes and I would have thrown a beer bottle at the screen.

I was so angry that McCentrist didn't hammer home ACORN, CRA, Clinton, FNMA contributions to Obama.

Wasted, wasted opportunity. How often do you have every voter in the country tuned in and ready to hear what you have to say directly without the media filter??? He had the bully pulpit. He could have even said in a bipartisan fashion that "Yes, there was greed on Wall Street + social engineering by Obama/Alinsky style community organizers and there is plenty of blame to go around, but there is time for that later."

I still think their is time. There is no way that a man who could withstand dozens of beatings from the VietCong would be afraid of accidentally pissing anyone off with the truth.

Good points. But how effective is it to release your best ammunition a month before the election, knowing that America has a short Attention span.

Why did the Bush DUI get released the Sunday before the 2000 vote? Why not October 1, 2000 when Gore was down 10 in Gallup.

Did Gore panic, no . His advisers were smart. They knew Joe Six pack would remember the DUI in the voting booth .
