McCain Must Talk Growth And Recovery

John McCain needs a knockout performance at Tuesday night's presidential debate if he is to keep his hopes alive.

Right now polls paint a dismal picture for Sen. McCain. Rasmussen shows Obama leading 52 to 44, Obama's highest level ever. (Moving above 50 percent is a key indicator.) The RealClearPolitics average has Obama up 6 points. InTrade shows Obama up by 34 points. It also could be that key states like Ohio and Florida are now up for grabs, while Obama could win in swing states like Virginia and North Carolina. McCain, of course, is moving out of Michigan.

The financial crisis and economic downturn clearly have buried Sen. McCain in recent weeks. Some of McCain's supporters think he can turn the page on the economy Tuesday night and instead attack Obama on character and qualifications. That doesn't seem realistic.

Crap – Birds of a feather, both voting the same. McCain was on the wrong side of the issue and poked about 80 percent of the electorate in the eye. McCain had the winning strategy within his grasp, stop campaigning, return to Washington and lead. He did steps one and two but on step three he failed miserably. He looked the old, indecisive fool. So he has to live with it. There ain't much he can say to distance himself from Obama's vote! Fast forward to tonight. He had better come out swinging. Challenge Obama on where the trillion in new spending will come from, his continued association with people who hate America, challenge his beliefs in Black Liberation Theology, demand to know why he won't release his health records, his college and post grad writings, his birth certificate, etc. etc. This is your last chance McCain - don’t blow it!!!

John must show passion in his voice tonight, instead of his even level put people to sleep voice.

I still have a little hope, but is am getting sicker each and every day hearing Carl Roves, everything but says it is all over for McCain.

I want to see some red meat tonight.Without it, Mc might as well hand it up and give the money he got from the treasury, and help in that way. If he doesn't get obama's goat tonight, it is all over.

A theory: The DOW lost 508 points today because Obama is up in the polls. It will
lose another 1,000 when the MSM declares
Obama the "WINNER".

Senator McCain must focus on tax cuts and spending reductions in order to keep the heat
on Obama.

Otherwise....
