Presidential Race

This is quite off my usual topic, but with the elections nearly over, I'd think it'd be a bit clearer or easier to say which one of the two candidates will actually win. I'm not fully convinced Obama will win, nor am I fully convinced that McCain will either. Up until this point it's quite hard for me to actually say I'm openly rooting for any of them... I'm just hoping the better one will actually get into office. We need real leaders in our world!

We culled the best moments from the debate, starting off with a discussion on the implications of each candidate's tax plans for the stumbling economy. John McCain kicked it off with a story addressing "Joe the Plumber," an Ohio man that asked Barack Obama on the campaign trail this week if the Illinois senator's tax proposal would hurt his plan to own a small business. Obama followed suit, addressing the now-famous "Joe the Plumber" in his answer.

The debate moderator, CBS' Bob Schieffer, turned the conversation to the nasty tone of recent campaigning. In their answers, both candidates discussed the recent character attacks on Obama involving William Ayers and ACORN.
