Debate Number Three

So last night was the third and final Presidential debate between Senators John McCain and Barack Obama. The McCain camp seemed to be promising a vitriolic performance for the last showdown and the elder Senator came out swinging. He had this final evening to hold the large viewing audience and turn the tides from Obama. He threw out Bill Ayers, ACORN, and had a snappy retort to Obama's comparison of him to President Bush (George W.). Senator McCain was on the offensive from the get-go, but was it enough? I'd say no and this morning, the polls seemed to agree, showing Obama as the viewed "winner".

Senator Obama kept a clear head, never got frazzled, and that was more than enough right there. He kept his composure and looked the part of the Presidential one.

The biggest talk of the night had to be Joe the Plumber, a gentleman that Senator Obama encountered and spoke to while campaigning. Joe spoke about wanting to buy the company he's worked for for years and his worries that Obama would tax him heavier. Did talk of Joe the Plumber affect things? Maybe, but I don't think it was to much a degree, if any (for the Presidential candidates). Hopefully, Joe the Plumber has been able to convert his newfound fame into increased business for himself! McCain did say he wanted Joe the Plumber spreading the wealth around after all...
