Final Debate

Senators Obama and McCain square in the third and final presidential debate at Hofstra University this evening. Many pundits are urging for McCain to be more asserive and knock Obama off of his "game"...Some polls are suggesting that Obama has 344 electoral votes. John Zogby still has the race very close, within 4 points, and a number of key states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, etc., too close to call. Zogby also has Obama at only 234 electoral votes...Jesse Jackson came out yesterday and stated that Israel would not be as high a priority under the Obama administration in order to reach out to the Arab world and "heal the wounds"...An Ohio plummer over the weekend, who is thinking about buying the plumming business he now works for, would make a little over $250,000.00 if he bought said business. Under the Obama plan, anyone making over $250K would have their taxes increased. The plummer asked Obama why he would be punished with more taxes. Obama replied that he was not punishing the plummer but trying to support the people behind the plummer's business by "spreading the wealth around". Where Obama and Biden might call this plan "fair" or "just", others call it redistribution of wealth. Why in the world would that plummer, under the Obama tax plan, ever want to buy the business?...A federal court in Ohio ordered the state to check the registration of newly registered voters amid allegations of voter fraud in the key battleground state...US troops in Iraq killed al Qaidea's number two leader in that country on Wednesday.

There are 20 days until the presidential election. There are 96 days left in the Bush presidency. And, it's been 7 years, 1 month, and 4 days since there's been a terrorist attack on US soil. Good day and God bless!
