OFFICIAL- Final U.S. Presidential Debate

Don't count on it

CNN ticker....

Undecideds are with Obama on education. Kind of like McCain (I like the option of charter schools and agree that throwing money at failed schools makes no sense), but not as much as Obama (and again, men more than women).

Ticker tells me one thing about undecideds....women seem to favor Obama where the men seem to favor McCain on almost everything (meaning who is rating higher for each).

Yes, I am sure you are for Obama spending more money on education so they can pay their coaches even more money to win games.

They've had little blurbs on it, but no real question. I think tonight is domestic policy.

Hasn't that always been the topic? Pretty convenient for Obama don't you think?

McCain looking at Obama & smiling this time.

Someone went through some training - although he doest look comfortable doing it

It is important, all the time, but now, I think the electorate is more concerned with things at home than they are with things abroad. Hence, the focus on domestic issues tonight.

But most of those who are against it are not old enough to remember what it was like before Roe v. Wade. Back alley abortions, self abortions etc. Making it illegal will not stop it, just make it unsafe. And with the population growth problem...

As to the gay marriage issue, I agree, government needs to have no role. As far as the government is concerned, marriage is a legal contract, and they should not say who can and who cannot enter into any type of contract (with exception of age when a contract can be entered). If it were not just a legal contract, then why do you need a lawyer to get out of the contract?

He never really looks comfortable smiling. It always looks forced.

Palin's name is mentioned and the ticker dips with both male and female undecideds.

HAHAHAH!! McCain said Sarah Palin knows about Autism the most!!

Goddamn, had to get the autism / Palin reference out.

Dont like it

Bah, education, have they not read The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America

seriously folks, do you think either party REALLY wants an educated electorate?

Obama may have edged out McCain in the first 2 debates, but this one is clear cut (not by a massive margin,but reasonable), VICTORY FOR MCCAIN!

Interesting 3 weeks ahead!

I agree with you on both points. I remember what it was like before Roe V. Wade, and to some extent those practices still occur. It's an important issue.

Insult her all you want, but the least you can do is type her name when you do it.

Otherwise, it's just tacky.

As an Independent, I'd have to call this one a draw. But McCain did much better than he did in the first two.

McCain started off very strong while Obama caught up to him later on when health care was the subject.

However, I do no think that this debate will be the blow that McCain needs in order to reverse the polls.

Good luck to both candidates.

I like you just fine Tater..... I think you bring a good mix to the boards and debates. I don't think you do yourself any favors by callin Palin "the vagina". I think I understand WHY you say it, but it seems unnecessary to me. JMO.

Cheers friend

I agree; this one went hands down to McCain.

I think he caught Obama off guard with a lot of things, and Obama didn't react well.

for someone who has fought for certain policies all his life he sure hasn't tried to pass legislation on them,
