I watched some of the debate last night, and I believe John McCain is living proof of that saying that a drowning man will even grab a sword blade to save himself. The debate turned adversarial, and it did so quickly..with McCain leading the way. Myself I took offense to McCain touting Sarah Palin as the "face of a special needs Mom", he(McCain)must have used the words "special needs" a half dozen times in the span of a few minutes. For us parents with special needs children I can empathize will Sarah Palin, but she does not represent the typical special needs family. I believe Obama showed a sense of poise and quiet dignity in this debate, showing that he may not know the job of being President but he is more than capable of learning. With the election being less then 3 weeks away I think McCain is seeing this election slipping away from him, and I believe as the days dwindle he will become more desperate. I just hope that when it's all said and done that whoever the loser is can work with the winner and place partisan politics behind them. And maybe just work on a viable solution to rebuild and reform.
