Reading Post on Final Presidential Debate


     I read this article from startribune.com on the final presidential debate. The article was written by Beth Fouhy. John McCain and Barack Obama debated in New York for the final time on 10/15/08. McCain modestly attacked Barack Obama's plans for the future. This does not suggest that John McCain is hostile in nature. It simply is a sign to the US that McCain is running out of options. He needed a crucial and decisive win in the final debate to change the direction of the race. Although I believe that McCain got some good points in, I do not think it was enough to change the direction of the race. I think Barack Obama has this election in the bag. I am not a super fan of either candidate, but I believe John McCain got the raw end of the deal. With Bush's poor presidency as a republican, McCain had a disadvantage from the start. With a bias media and a failing economy, McCain lost the fighting chance he had. It is crossing the line to have SNL sketches written by Al Franken.
