McCain just keeps destroying the persona he had built up, which reached its apex in 2000, before the Bush-Rove-Lie-Machine destroyed him.

McCain looked petty, weak, and angry.

To raise the "Ayers" issue was suicidal, as it showed that McCain's campaign had no substance, and it gave Obama a great chance to rebut the issue.

Only the Fox-News-Right-Wing-Echo-Chamber wingnuts are going to keep spinning the "Ayers issue," OR say that McCain won the debate.

This is a sad, sad end for McCain...stripped to empty ambition...a hollow man.

Posted by Jill_H at 10/15/08 8:23 p.m.

Obama won the last debate, just like the other two. McCain looked different this time though. He looked like those guys in the bar, the lecherous ones, that undress you with their eyes. It's that creepy look. Even as a conservative voter, I just can't vote for that.

McCain came off hard and probably won over some of the machismo crowd with that, but not people who care about the issues. Obama refuted each of McCain's mini-lectures with grace and comfort. I would have liked him to point out a couple of things though that he didn't get to:

1. McCain wants to reduce the budget deficit and national debt while extending the Bush tax cuts and promising a bunch of new spending programs. That is not possible. Obama should have pointed out that Autism research doesn't run on popcorn.

2. Obama should have refuted McCain's mischaracterization of his nuclear waste management position. It is not "extreme environmentalism" to make sure we don't have a meltdown.

3. McCain's call for more competition in schools and healthcare should have been refuted by reminding Americans of McCain's view on banking deregulation:

"Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation." John McCain

Obama's responses were clear, detailed and strong. McCain largely responded with distorted attacks on what Obama had just stated. I was uncomfortable that McCain's speech was more than once garbled. His "reformer" comments on the question of Palin's qualifications for President seemed both absurd and frightening. Barak Obama was articulate, consistent in message and reassuring that he is ready and able to become President. This long time Republican is voting Obama.

McCain desperate for presidency bent over and grabbed his ankles and told Steve Schmidt (Karl Rove's buddy and fellow Bushy) to have at it. Well, the result are pretty clear.

Obama did a great job! He wasn't my first choice during the primary season, but as each day goes by I am more and more glad that he will be our next President.

I honestly felt sorry for McCain during the debate.

He seemed testy, frail, angry with the world at a very fundamental level (a rage-a-holic) and exhausted on every level. I can sum it up as "burned out".

I thought Obama was compassionate but firm with McCain's silly harping side issues and with the McCain team's current love affair with off-topic attention diversions (Ayers? Oh puh-leeeeze!)

I said the same thing after the second debate: I feel sorry for McCain--but not enough to vote for him!

Republicans love to talk about protecting "small business owners" like Joe the Plumber. It's interesting, because several small business owners in the last year have told me that the IRS has been deliberately singling out small businesses for audits. Why? Because under the Republicans, large corporations have stopped paying taxes. The tax cuts for corporations and for the wealthiest individuals have so deeply cut our government's revenue that they're squeezing every last Joe the Plumber they can find trying to wring a few more dimes out of him.

The only time Republicans care about "small business owners" is when they're making up reasons why rich guys like them need more tax breaks. McCain's Joe the Plumber crapola tonight was no exception -- naked pandering. This is the man who placed the cut-off line for "rich" at $5 million annual income. The guy has no conception of how average Americans are living and exactly zero concern for them. He is one of the wealthy 1% and that's exactly who his policies are designed to help.

At first, I was totally undecided. After watching this debate...MY VOTE CLEARLY GOES TO OBAMA. Sarah Palin seems like a woman who could easily be convinced and pushed around (I mention this because after the debate I researched her quite a bit). McCain is a nut and so are the people who believe him. He's all talk and wants people to feel sorry for him. He said a lot of things that were irrelevent and OBAMA was to the point!

McCain certainly showed vast improvement over his previous debates. Nevertheless, in a 10 day period when many of us have seen a 35% erosion of our life's savings, McCain was certainly wasting time crying about a Viet Nam War era protester.

I am a totally recovered ex-Republican. With the therapy provided by "Dubya" I have previously showed no sign of remission. After tonights debate, my political health remains strong.

I'm glad the Ayers thing was discussed. I didn't know he was a college professor, board member, community activist. From the limited bits I had seen from the echo chambers, I had this vision that he was some kind of camo wearing radical kook. I just looked him up... seems pretty benign to me now.

McCain is an interesting personality and reputable character for the most part. It's unfortunate that the cameras, up close, convey a kind of weird guy image. I think the make up, and tension, did him in, as well as his performance and hollow attacks. Not sure if he looked worse than Al Gore in 2000, but pretty close.

Obama's got my vote and I'm excited about the message his election is going to send to the rest of the world.

McCain is such a tragic political figure; an apparently decent man, who was ravaged by Rove et al. in 2000. When he finally gets his shot in 2008, he encounters a nation angry at the disastrous Bush administration. He becomes desperate and tries to appeal to the lowest common denominator on the far right. He insults us all with his choice of Palin, a patently underqualified candidate. And tonight's debate reflected some of his final desperate swipes as he falls in defeat. Poor McCain. I blame a Republican party that, some time ago, made a deal with El Diablo and decided to become the party of intolerance and disgrace Lincoln's legacy.

I wasn't particularly impressed with either candidate tonight.

However; with the lead that the polls have been showing to this point, Obama really didn't NEED to be impressive.

I think that McCain bringing up Ayres and ACORN were huge mistakes, those punches have been so telegraphed that rocks could have dodged them.

I don't think it was anger we saw in McCain tonight, despite what a large number of people are saying. I think it was the fear and frustration of a man who has just lost his last chance at the presidency.

If the Leaning Dem states go for Obama, he will have 320 electoral votes. McCain can win all the states that are currently listed as toss-up and leaning or safe Rep. and he won't win.

I think people didnt want to really see that and thats what made the polls go to go Obama. Also he seem REALLY angry at points and I think that's part of the reason he lost but other than that, McCain took it. He did great On the economy, Health care, One Joe the plumber, but he hasn't really changed my vote but I do know that if he is elected to be president, I think the country would be in good hands.

McCain tried his best tonight to split the difference: his hard core base has been raging for him to attack Obama even more and more and more while the rest of the Republicans have been encouraging him to lighten up and talk about the issues.
He tried to do both tonight and he didn't seal the deal with either one of them. Given his challenge, he actually did pretty well, however, it was in no way, shape, or form enough for either of his split party, let alone the "independents" who are supposed to determine the outcome of this election.
He is toast. There is NOTHING he can do between now and election day to change the momentum. Even if there is a national security situation, it will not work. Thank God.

Posted by Normey at 10/15/08 9:29 p.m.

McCain is of a different era and his treatment as a Vietnam hostage was brutal. It broke him down physically and mentally. He suffers from PTSS as his eyes glare in anger and bitterness. What saved him was his abnormal streak of defiance that hurt his acedemic cause at Annopolis! The "Maverick" in him is based within that same stubborn streak within his own party.

As an Pilot he made instant decisions to be left behind shifting and shaping according the the winds of battle. This is his normal code of conduct that we witnessed going from one attack to the other with Obama during the campaign. His inclination towards being brazenly aggressive does not hide his rage beneath at all.

His basic tenents as to money, abortion, law, climate, etc. is old hat and more does in fact play favorites to the middle classes on up and or energy Czars the current regime has catered to the past number of years: I look at Nukes not only as very costly but TARGETS for terror as well.

Where is he ok? Well aside the Pride gig, he is not wrong about Iraq right now, NOT earlier. If we do in fact fade the zealous factions will go at each other in a slaughter as Iran grows the stronger for it.

I however am not so worried about terror as I do within and the crises for economy that has hurt any forward thrust for Global Warming, Science, College, Health, etc. Look at the mega rich to cripple the efforts.

I expect a huge deficit but undoing our current cars, dependency on ME/SA oil, creating the TOP Green front in business will help the cause.

I also believe strongly in DEFENSE, more younger in the military and grass roots peace corps.

Considering the fact that an application to enroll in the strictly volunteer Peace Corps requires a college education to qualify, I do believe you weren't listening. What the Peace Corps does do for its foreign service members is provide tuition credits to repay education loans or further college education upon completion of service. AmeriCorps, the domestic volunteer program for anyone 18 or older, does the same. A great way to help relieve the costs of higher education and to serve the needs of our communities/schools at the same time.

Senator John "The Plumber Boy" McCain certainly showed that he has really bad hearing this evening. Is that malady in his 1173 pages of medical records? Or is it that he just can't comprehend things that are spoken in clear concise English? On every instance where Obama clearly defined his position, Senator McCain would repeat back a completely different and garbled iteration of Obama's stance.

I think he is truly angry at the US government for not giving him his "due" after all that heroic activity in Vietnam. He just appears to be really erratic, angry, jittery, incompetent, and well, not very bright. He and Palin compliment each other there very well . . .

All my "Re-plumber-can" friends are now clearly voting for Obama after tonight's debate.

McCain's "health of the mother" moment complete with his smirk and sarcastic tone -- topped off by the air quotes was a real mind-blower.

And there you have it folks, John McCain's priorities when it comes to pregnancy complications. So the next time I have a woman with a prior history of postpartum cardiomyopathy who presents in heart failure with a subsequent pregnancy, I guess I'll just have to tell her to tough it out because Senator McCain figures her life is expendable -- too bad for those other kids at home, I guess.

This one comment really shows the measure of the "man". Pathetic.

By default: another Republican for Obama.

I would've voted for McCain in 2000, but not this time around.
