Down To The Last Debate!

By the time anyone reads this, the Final Presidential Debate will likely have taken place.

Who “won”?

The latest polls indicate that Barack Obama is leading and starting to pull away. That means that tonight will likely be the last chance for John McCain to state his case. Exactly how he will do this remains to be seen.

Pundits claim he must really go on the attack—but with the market down another 700+ points today, most Americans want to hear about the economy—and who will turn things around. Pointing fingers is not likely to go over well.

If I were a Republican strategist, I would suggest that McCain try to appear “Presidential” (whatever that means) and put the thrust on his economic plan. Without a clear “pocketbook” rationale for choosing McCain, Obama stands to win. Not that Americans feel he has all the answers, either.

Do either of them have any real answers? Not likely, but Americans will probably go with their GUT on November 4th. Most experts predict the Obama lead will shrink and that the race will be a tight one, fought on electoral turf where the state tallies may make this the closest race since 2000.

Whatever the outcome, the best idea is to make your own decision and by all means, VOTE!
