The Presidential Debate - Round 3

I'm no Joe the Plumber, but here's what I thought:

McCain's campaign, to me, has become a mysterious land of missed opportunities. McCain, once again, failed to adequately explain Obama's income redistribution plan. He tried to talk about "spreading the wealth," but he's just not very good at breaking it down. So, let me do it for him. Obama wants to take Joe's money, and he wants to give it to people who already pay no income tax at all. He wants to give them a welfare check under the guise of a "tax deduction." How hard is that to say? McCain fought with his words all night.

After the deabte, a Fox News analyst said exactly what I was thinking. The debate seemed to be sort of like a tennis match where McCain was running all over the court just to get the ball across, and Obama was standing still just tapping it back over, every single time.

It's very frustrating, really. I'm not the biggest McCain fan in the world, but I think he's a much better choice for president than Obama. I just wish he could find the words to express exactly what his opinions are. Take the abortion issue, for example. How in the world does McCain miss the opportunity to nail Obama on his plan to provide federally funded abortions? How does he miss that? It's unbelievable.

I'm going to vote for McCain, but I don't think it's going to make any difference. I think McCain could have really scored points last night, because the moderator asked questions that would have allowed McCain a lot of freedom to attack. Instead, he said the same old things, stumbled over words, and missed several chances to land a knockout punch. Round 3 wasn't even close. Obama by a wide margin.
