Kudos to John McCain for the "misspoke" of the night.
"Senator Government wants... I mean, Senator Obama" LOL!!!
Mr. Obama, I, as a American, believe judges for the Supreme Court should be choosen based on their record and their best ability to interpret the US Constitution as our founding fathers intended. (I wander if George Washington believe in abortion... hmmmm. I dont think so.)

Been about a week...
... and nothing new has come in the presidential race, besides John McCain's falling poll numbers (I truly haven't believed much in the polls since I ever got involved with politics, anywho) and the fact that John McCain used his wisdom when he began bringing up William Ayers and his association with Barack Hussein Obama BUT NOW has decided to back off of Obama, some.
Does John McCain truly wish to win the Presidency? The whole point of a general election is to vote for someone. When two people are running, it means that each of them has to prove to the American people that they are better than each other. McCain has to prove he is better prepared to be the Commander-in-Chief of our great nation, which he hasn't done for everyone and he'd better get negative pretty soon. Alot of the facts are out there (thanks Hillary!!!), but McCain has about two weeks to get to exploiting them. Mhmmmmm.

After the 2nd Presidential debate of 2008...
I watched the entire debate, took notes, etc. It was a pretty good debate. Here's some ramblings on it.
Tom Brokaw, probably one of my favorite news reporters of all time, did a very good job in keeping neutral in the debate. He tried to keep the one minute cap on answers, but Obama and McCain both had major trouble with it. Additionally, keeping them from having follow-up's proved to be a sore note, as both ended up with at least one followup during the debate (about two-thirds the way through).
When Obama pressed for a follow-up to McCain's answer to a question, McCain said, "If he wants a follow-up, I want follow-ups." Brokaw responded by saying, "Then, let's have follow-ups... I'm just hired help." Classic Brokaw, moment.
Also during the debate, in talking about the mortgage crisis and the deregulation of the industry, Obama brought up about the banks in Delaware and how laws are loose in terms of regulating the banks. But, Obama's VP, Joe Biden, is a senior 35-year incumbent Senator from Delaware. So, why hasn't VP Joe done anything to regulate those ole banks? Hmmmm...
From an AP FactCheck:
McCAIN: Said Obama had voted for tax increases "94 times."
THE FACTS: This inflated count, heard before, includes repetitive votes as well as votes to cut taxes for the middle class while raising them on the rich. An analysis by factcheck.org found that 23 of the votes were for measures that would have produced no tax increase at all, seven were in favor of measures that would have lowered taxes for many, 11 would have increased taxes on only those making more than $1 million a year.
This factcheck was very liberal. In fact, it is incorrect. A repetitive vote, a tax increase for the rich (with a decrease for middle class), seven for lowered taxes for many (and raised them for many, too, I'm sure) and 11 votes for higher taxes for those making more than one million is STILL A VOTE! A VOTE IS A VOTE!

..and more stuff about/after the VP Debate.
NEWS SOURCE REFERENCED: Yahoo! News
BIDEN: Warned that Republican presidential candidate John McCain's $5,000 tax credit to help families buy health coverage "will go straight to the insurance company."
THE FACTS: Of course it would, because it's meant to pay for insurance. That was like saying money for a car loan will go straight to the car dealer.
Exactly!!!
