Wednesday, October 15, 2008 at 05:05PM I'll be live blogging again during the last debate tonight. I'm expecting a doozy given McCain's predicament. Last live-blogging got 144 comments, 142 from Mitch. See you at 9!
Footnote: I'll be on CW11 giving post debate analysis at 6:20 am and 7:30, give or take a few minutes.

I look forward to it tonight Nick!
hahaha.
30 seconds baby!
Sitting around the kitchen table ... format will be tough for McCain; hard to attack a guy when you're sitting at a table with him.
it's freddie mac, dude, not freddie mae
This is the same old blather as the last debates. Cant bob ask a specific, pointed question? This has snoozefest in the making.
snoozefest=obama advantage
Wow Mac is on the attack -- mentions the guy in Ohio and the "redistribution of the wealth" ... game on!
Cmon guys, I'm in class right now, I need more specifics. Paint a picture for me!
How can 95% of the population get a tax cut when 40% of the population doesn't pay income tax?
Spread the wealth around would be a more damning comment .. if we hadn't nationalized our banks yesterday
mccain is making a point, BUT HE DOESNT KNOW HOW TO DELIVER IT COHERENTLY! This is his problem
I agree with your comment 100% Dan. Top 1%of wage earners accounted for 23% of income tax revenues in 1986; 33% in 2000; and 39% in 2006.
Mac is hammering him on taxes ... where has he been hiding this?
1st topic was a draw
By the way Nick we graduated from JFK the same year...love the website
-Dan Mac
I saw it advantage mccain ... the fact that they were talking about tax hikes for 5 minutes doesn't help Obama. and tomorrow there is going to be a lot of talk about joe the plummer. That guy became an instant celebrity.
Hey Dan! Thanks for visiting. And I see you're on the right side of the issues!
Mitch, you have to admit, mccain is on fire. this is the most aggressive he's been in any of the debates. with desperation comes aggression.
Obama needs to attack more, mccain is getting off to many zingers...he cant play defensive for 90 minutes...he will lose
What does everyone think of the running against George Bush comment? Will that earn McCain points or does it make him look like a grump?
Obama dogging Fox News! Thems fighting words!
any time bush is mentioned it is a net loss for mccain - period
i actually give mccain an edge in 2nd section
scheiffer is doing an amazing job
this is the first debate where mccain is actually on the offense. mitch is right - can't play defense. obama needs to attack back. John lewis said mccain was a racist? wow missed that. mccain dropping some bombs.
