My Sunday Wrap-Up

1. 2nd Presidential Candidate Debate - This was the second Presidential debate and one of the last times that McCain can maybe win back the voters he has lost. In many online polls, he is losing to Obama and the margin is starting to get larger. This is because Obama is saying what needs to be said at the right time. If McCain wants to get back in the race, he needs to pick it up a lot. This debate was said to be won by Obama, just like the first one. I don't know if I agree with that but if the majority of the voters are saying this, that is all that matters.

2. McCain Stepping up for Obama - At one of McCain's rallies, many supports were asking obscene questions about Obama and his political background, his racial background, and his terrorist ties. McCain did not only deny all of these, but he finished up with saying multiple times that Obama is " a decent person." This to me is very admirable. I couldn't believe that no matter how bad he wants to win, McCain is not willing to bash Obama on such topics. He could use these and completely turn heads of many voters but he's not.

3. Obama taking control of the polls - Everyday at reuters.com, they show the online national poll for the 2008 presidential election. Everyday, Obama keeps slipping more and more away from McCain. If McCain doesn't do anything soon, he is going to be out of the race and there will be nothing to do with it. Many people are talking about it because a few of my friends are Obama supporters and like to rub it in my face. This is a big deal do to the election is less than a month away.

4. Obama thanks McCain for his remarks, but then presses attacks - Obama thanked McCain for his help toning down McCain supports at one of McCain's speeches, but right after he said his thanks, he was back on the attack. This personally bothers me because McCain was doing the right thing and not letting people get the wrong impression of his rival, Barrack Obama. Then Obama comes back, thanks McCain, but right after dogs on him. I just feel that if he was truly grateful, he would thank McCain and go on with his speech and not dog on McCain but promote himself.

5. Obama's ties with Ayers - This is the case for the new web ad release by the McCain campaign. This ad again relates Obama and Ayers. This is very important in the political world because Ayers used to be a American terrorist, he also lives in the same neighborhood as Obama. The ad accuses Obama of going over to his house and not being able to trust Obama and his ties. I agree with this ad, who knows what their ties are. I'm not saying that Obama is a terrorist at all, but I do feel that he is not telling us the whole truth.
