Mr Uncle Smiley "Trust Me" McCain, Mr McRegulations, Mr Reckless Hand at the Tiller is not who you''re voting for-- keep in mind he''s fought cancer four times and won''t release his medical records. Palin for president anyone?

Status quo? Don''t really think so. Senator Obama won this debate hands down. By a mile. He answered the questions clearly while explaining the philosophies behind his decision-making and establishing his values.

Senator McCain was much less clear. He insisted several times thats he can handle whatever problems the country faces, but he never convincingly explained how--other than by offering Republican boilerplate. "Cut taxes, create jobs", etc. At one point he just kept saying plaintively, "I know how to get bin Laden. I know how to get him."

Obama is already showing leadership--by laying out a vision and a set of priorities for the country, and by campaigning on substance.

It''s just sad when a man of McCain''s stature lowers himself to the level he has and forsakes his principles, his ethics, his morals because he can''t why any other way to the white house. Shame on you John, but then, like they say, "There''s no fool like an Old fool".
