I do not know what debate the political pundits were watching last night. Every one of them said that there was "nothing new" and McCain did not do what he had to do to "change the momentum". The lead headline on the Drudge Report was a blaring "BORING!".
I have been active in politics for over 20 years; and, I have run for public office. What I saw last night was an energetic McCain. He was giving specifics and attacking Obama on every issue and question asked. I think that he did do what he needed to do. He laid the ground work for the next debate and the last days of the campaign. He should not of brought Ayers, Wright, et al, because he would have been attached for bringing up things that had nothing to do with the questions. It would of been a "no-win" situation for him. He and Palin can bring these things up in advertisements, stump speeches, and the final debate.
He introduced the buying of the loans of people who have negative equity in their homes that were caused by overly ambitious appraisals. These people are upside-down in their homes. They can't sale or refinance. However, McCain's proposal is NOT new! He first brought this up back in APRIL! Also, these so-called talking-head "experts", were "shocked" at this proposal. They thought that this was an additional $300 billion expenditure. I did not take this way. I took this to mean that he was going to use the money of the wonderful $700 billion bailout to implement this plan.
You know what? I was RIGHT and the "experts" were WRONG! Today, on McCain's campaign site, they have the details of this plan. GUESS WHAT! They are going to use the existing money already allocated. Click here to see the Homeownership Resurgence Plan:

I LOVE BEING RIGHT!
Anyway, I think that the McCain definitely WON the debate last night. Obama is employing the same strategy that he used in the democratic primary. He is running out the clock. He believes that as long as he does not do anything outrageous. He will coast to the finish line. This strategy almost cost him the nomination. I hope that he continues because this time ALL of the delegates (electors) are voted on in ONE night!

Then, we will be inaugurating President McCain and Vice-President Palin! WOW, that sounds GREAT!
