NBC had commentary by Mitt Romney. He was quite personable. Why did this guy not make it to the republican nomination? He might have given Barack a run for his money.

Joe the Plumber is an idiot. He was a plant from the McCain campaign sent there to ambush Obama. Obama handled it with class, dignity, and character as he always does.

In fact, I wish he would get down a dirty. Tonight McCain mentioned ACORN and Ayres. Two things that have no connection to the Obama campaign and are nothing but sleazy attempts to smear Obama. I was begging Obama from my screen to mention McCain's association with G. Gordon Liddy, or his close personal friendship with Charles Keating in which his entire family (including the babysitter) were flown to the Bahamas on Keating who was stealing money from Lincoln savings and loan. McCain was the most corrupt member of the Keating Five. Obama should have mentioned McCain's close association with a white supremacist named Richard Quinn, who found himself hired as a political advisor by McCain in 2000.


Obama is an honorable man, and I commend him for taking the high road, but I desperately want to see him take off his jacket and tie, roll up his sleeves and sling the same kind of mud that McCain is doing.

John McCain's campaign is straight out of Karl Rove's playbook. McCain has launched the largest and dirtiest smear campaign in the history of global politics. His supporters spread racist messages, outright lies, idiotic accusations about being Muslim, or not being patriotic, or things that don't matter like what his pastor or wife said. These sleezeballs doctor photos, lie about his hand over his heart during the pledge when the photo was taken during the song "America the Beautiful"...not the national anthem.

In every McCain campaign commercial they spread lies. They question his integrity and character. Obama sticks to the issues and tells the truth. That is refreshing for an American Presidential candidate.

The filthy lies and smears to attack Obama have obviously not worked for McCain because he's behind in the polls by double-digits. It would have been nice to see Obama get a few gut shots and finish the debates with a knockout instead of a unanimous decision.

I think McCain only said "My Friends" twice last night. Somebody must have talked to him about it.

Thank God. That drove me crazy with the last debate.

He can win without it. Why take the risk?
It's exactly this sort of calculus that makes me support his presidency. I want someone who can weigh the pros and cons without emotion and chose the correct solution. If Spock were running, I would vote for him.
