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.
