I didn't hear one republican complain that Bush and Cheney were amassing too much power. I don't think who ever gets elected is going to give that power away now that it's theirs. We are well and truely screwed. Reid,

Did i hear him correctly? Is Senator McCain nowpromising to blow another $300B to nationalize bad mortgages for folks facing foreclosure????! Great – so now we get our Hobson’s choice of Socialist-lite (McCain) or full blown Socialists (Obama) – take your pick … Exactly WHERE in the Constitution is HEALTH CARE a “right”? Talk about a missed opportunity – why didn’t John McCain ask Barack Obama THAT question last night? Once they bullied the moderator into allow rebuttals, everything was fair game as far as the format went. Instead Senator McCaimn babbled on about some nonsensical 'moral responsibility' (or some other pandering blather) for the Federal government to provide healthcare to everyone! By what authority does the President of the United States have the power to use Federal tax dollars to spend on an unconstitutional acts such as buying privatelo owned mortgages using tax funds and then lowering the principal so that people can afford a house they bought (but could not really afford) or the authority for spending billions to provide HEALTH CARE to everyone? It is incredible that no one is pointing this out today . . . Folks, the Constitution limits the powers of the Federal government. Why do these two bozos feel they can ignore the Constitution and suddenly invent new "Rights" in oder to buy votes? What was that idiotic “plan” Senator McCain dropped on us last night?

McCain needs to "say" something. Not vague talking points, but real responses on what exactly he'll do to fix the economy, decrease our dependence on imported energy and what he'll do to improve foreign relations (as we're seeing in the foreign markets, we aren't going to make all by ourselves). But if he devotes too much time laying blame on the Dems he'll lose. The American public is sick and tired of poli-speak and pointing fingers. They may not be genius', and as long as they could pay their bills they'd ignore business as usual in Washington, but those days are over. They want real solutions and they're smart enough to know bullshit when they hear it. Duck,

If it is perceived that Obama wins, McCain's candidacy is sunk. Everyone's focus is on the economy right now, and the public seems to be blaming the Republicans for the mess we are in. McCain needs to find a way to make the economy his issue. Earmarks aren't going to do it. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and Obama's economic advisors need to make an appearance tonight, but McCain's got to have more to say about the economy than that. Obama's desire to greatly grow gov't. spending can help if McCain plays his cards right. Maybe it is just me, and maybe he cannot mention Anwar cos of his position on this issue, but why doesn't he or Palin answer the Democrat's charge that it will take 10 years to get oil with if we had listened to Bush almost 8 years ago, we would only be a couple of years from increasing our domestic supplies? Wouldn't this score points by showing how wrong the Dems have been on energy and shift some blame to them for high gas prices and inflation? A maverick can change his mind, can't he? And W. can be right on at least one issue, can’t he? McCain needs a strong performance and a win tonight to stay competitive. If it is perceived that Obama wins, McCain’s candidacy is sunk.
