Politics:

Debate Night ended with a aggressive performance by Republican candidate, John Mccain, going on the offense toward Democrat's, Barrack Obama. Mccain air out several controversial subject such as Obama's William Ayers relationship, his ACORN affiliation, Obama's track record in the Senate, and other topics that separate the candidate's views. Although this was Mccain's best debate performance, Obama managed to hold a poised and persistence debate while he repeated his plans for the American public and the economy. Mccain was also more detailed than the last two debates, but according to some post debate polls, wasn't as convincing to independent voters as needed. 57% felt that Obama would make a better President, while 39% favored Mccain. There's still 19 days left till election, so it's still anyone's race.

CNN will host the last Presidential Debate before the stretch to the White House. Democrat nominee Barrack Obama leads Republican candidate John Mccain in national polls by nearly a double digit margin according to some polls. Although it's still anyone's race, political analysis say that this could be John Mccain's last opportunity to appeal to swing democratic and independent voters on a mass scale. The Obama campaign as been out spending Mccain in advertising dollars as much as 4 to 1 in some toss up states, and analysis say this could be a vital variable as well as the economic in bringing Obama the election and the seat in the White House.
