    He will get desperate enough to tell Sarah Palin to go on Saturday Night Live and show some serious cleavage.

    Ratings will soar, but it won't help.

    Desperation is obvious when a candidate strays from legitimate issues that concern the public (crime, taxes, health care, SS, financial issues, foreign policy, etc) and they start looking for things that trigger negative emotional responses in the electorate.

    Old Example: Prominently using Obama's middle name with the unspoken implication that he is some sort of terrorist based on that. Puh-lease. and Puh-thetic.

    It is this variation from real issues that shows the desperation is already there when the candidates starting insinuating negative alliances and morals about their opponents and it has begun in earnest already.

    I'm sure McCain has another one or two smear tactics left in his arsenal.

    I wish I could lift the partisan blinds off the collective faces of everyone I care for ( all americans really) that they might see that picking the lesser of two evils is still evil.

    Both of these shallow ego-maniacal marionettes are in it for their own purposes, Obama has spent nearly his entire time in the Senate Running for president. McCain thinks it's his turn, he feels like he got screwed out of it by the party machine with bush.

    America deserves better ( or maybe not)

    I will make two predictions:

    First... McCain will lose his cool at tomorrow's debate, he'll get flustered.

    Second: Palin will immediately come out with more exaggerations and lies to smear Obama to cover-up McCains gaffe.

    If I were a better liar, I'd probably be able to predict the actual lies they will tell...

    Well, his aides have stated that if they talk about the economy they will lose so they have no choice but to go negative.

    Senator McCain is showing his fierce ambition fueled by a strong sense of entitlement and demonstrating his character at this point, which certainly is not "country first".....

    But....How about the explanation...finally....of how his health care plan works...not only taxing people but cutting Medicare Benefits....

    Is he deliberately trying to lose this election...????

    Yeah now they're trying to make people believe Obama is a terrorist. Horrible.

    And then recently, after being called out for lying, he lied about his untruthfullness.

    McGain will get very desperate.
