Tonight is the night for the third and final 2008 US Presidential debate. The first two went to Obama, according to focus groups run by the networks, CNN and FOX. McCain needs to hit one out of the park, and he told a group in Arlington, Virgina this this weekend that he's going to "whip his [Obama's]you-know-what in this debate," and then campaign 24/7 until the election.

Meh.
No one really answereed questions. That's good for Obama, who seems to be ahead. Bad for McCain, who had to shake things up.
McCain, who so wants to be the agent of change, spent a lot of time talking about his hero, Ronald Reagan.
Overall, it was pretty much a pissing match. They both have wet shoes, but neither hit the electric fence, and neither made the other flinch.

The Debate
Last Thursday, Vice Presidential Candidates Sen. Joe Biden and Gov. Sarah Palin debated in St. Louis. I wasn't going to blog about it, but I find it's stuck in my craw so firmly that I'm on my second VP post. And, the second Presidential debate is slated for Tuesday, so I'd better get this out of my system now.
Hopefully, I'll make my observations brief (always questionable to make such statements before I start writing).

Last Thursday's Vice Prsidential debate gave us a lot to think about. Like, is it really a debate if one of the debators doesn't answer the questions asked by the moderator? That's a whole other blog post (I'm really iirked by the fact that Gov. Palin said "I won't answer the questions," and was permitted to get away with making talking points that had nothing to do with the debate that was going on around her. I hope someone blogs about it, but I probably won't - I'm too danged angry!). One question that both participants answered had to do with what their roles as Vice President would be. Remember that some time back, Gov. Palin wondered aloud
what the heck a vice president does.
