9 - Debate Number 3

Well the third debate was last week. I watched it last week but here we are with me procrastinating with my response once again. Although, part of me feels it isn’t needed. It was a debate full of more of the same.

What I found most amusing however, was some of the things McCain said. Yeah big surprise huh? What I mean for example is when he said “my campaign is about getting this economy back on track,” even though Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke, or his predecessor Alan Greenspan were not mentioned once. Or when he said he didn’t care about a washed up old terrorist (Ayers) only to start spouting about how America needs to know absolutely everything about Obama’s relationship to him. Not to mention that he continued this attack right after Obama explained everything about the relationship right there.

I am willing to admit that McCain did a better job, at least for the first half or so of the debate, then he did in the other 2. But this was definitely not going to save his campaign. And with exactly 2 weeks before election day, I am feeling hopeful that the lesser of the evils will be elected.
