49 down and one to go. I'm glad it's the last one. I always say I'm not gonna watch, but I always wind up watching.

A lot of people are saying this thing is over, but I'm nervous. A lot can happen in three weeks.

The last one was pretty boring outside of "That One" and Tom Brokaw's increasing anger.

I have DVR anyway so I think I'm going to watch it by PIP and flip over every few minutes.

This election is going to go down to the wire. I still fear that the racial card will rear its ugly head. I have absolutely no faith in some part of the US in reguards to race.

The last debate was an atrocity because of the style and the unruliness of BOTH candidates and I don't blame Brokaw for it because he was given a job to do and he was just trying to carry it out. I blame the candidates 100%. I hope tonights debate is better all-around.

What no media outlet is talking about is whether people that SAY they are going to vote for Obama will actually end up voting for him. I think that's the only factor in Obama's way for winning this thing.

9 mins into the debate and it's basically done from a clear presentation POV. mccain so far has been stammering a bit while obama is clearly laying out a plan in an eloquent manner...

Why does it seem like McCain just wants to give him a back-handed slap?

he's looking right at obama and talking at him while obama puts on a grin or looks down at times. mccain is trying to go right at him so he is on the aggressive while obama is sort of laughing it off and responding in a somewhat dismissive manner. i'm not sure if that's a good strategy.

It almost seems like he's phoning it in. Like right now, he's basically smiling at him and looking back down at his notes. Though if you look on the CNN scorecard thingie, 5 of the 6 analysts have them even and the 6th guy has Obama dominating him.

mccain has been aggressive and accusatory. while obama is brushing it off and being like "let's get serious." that *could* come off as elitist and him talking down to mccain.

watching them both trying to cover up for their smear campaigns is quite funny.

let's look at it from an emotional point of view: mccain looks like the man in charge and the decisive one while obama looks lax.
