Hope everyone tunes in for the debate tonight. This one is crucial for McCain, as he has steadily been losing ground since the Palin bubble burst and the economy took off South-bound.
The reality is, when the economy goes, the party in power will suffer at the polls. Doesn't matter whether Obama's economic plans will help of hurt more than McCain's. The majority of the voting public won't think about it deeply enough. Therefore, McCain needs to do his best to articulate why his economic policies are vital to strengthen the economy, and why Obama's policies will only cause further problems.
As for Obama, all he really needs to do it play it safe again tonight, like the last debate. Just keep giving the stump speech talking points, and don't go into specifics.
Personally, I am now doubtful that McCain can pull it off in this election. He really needs an all-star performance from here on out, starting with tonight. Even then, it will be an uphill climb.
Remember, a lot of people like Obama's philosophy of, "I don't want to punish your success, I just want to spread the wealth around." The down-side is that it isn't very American, but who's keeping track?
I have no problem with "wealth-spreading," I just think it should be more up to the people with the wealth to make that determination, not the government. Note, I'm not talking about taxing for legitimate services that government should be providing, I'm talking about massive wealth re-distribution and welfare disguised as "tax credits."

Since apparently you can just propose any tax changes regardless of whether or not they are fair or make any sense whatsoever, I think we should vote for a candidate who will tax everyone in California and New York and then the rest of the country won't have to pay any taxes at all. Collectively, we'll all be better off since everyone knows that people in CA and NY have more money than people in those other states. Or maybe just tax Texas only and then 95% of the country won't have any "tax increase"? Yeah, that seems fair. Let's just make Texas pay my mortgage.
