The Sunday Wrap-Up

1. The 3rd and Final Debate - The 3rd and final presidential debate took place last week. The main thing that came from this debate was the "Joe the Plumber" controversy. This whole situation makes me laugh because one guy, the average "Joe", can shake up the race just by asking a question. Everyone is talking about it: TV shows, newspapers, friends, family. It is just hilarious, I can't believe it is actually this big of deal. Big enough of a deal to mention him over 2 dozen times in the debate that was watched by over 56.5 million people.

2. Obama lead starting to slip - Obama's lead earlier in the week was by 10 points, now, he is only leading by 3 points. This would have to make Obama feel a little uncomfortable with it getting so close to the actual election. Obama slipping makes the race a little more fun, and exciting. I can only wish to have the same drama we had the last couple elections.

3. The RACE problem - The reason some people feel that Barrack Obama is going to lose the election is because he is black. I'm not going to lie, I have heard many people say that they are not voting for Obama because he is black, or because he is muslim, or other stupid reasons. I am not an Obama supporter by any means but I feel that he should be held at the same level as McCain. It is unfair to him to have to defend himself against these fake assumptions.

4. Colin Powell backs Obama - Having a former secretary of state in the Bush administration endorse you is a huge deal. Powell did say that either "man would be a good president." They reason he is picking Obama over McCain is 1) he feels that Obama is more certain and steady and 2) Palin is not ready to lead the country. I feel that this is huge and needs not to be taken lightly. McCain could be in trouble with Colin Powell against him.

5. Palin on SNL - This was very funny. I did not see the actual show on Saturday, but I did watch the clip on the SNL website. It brought some life and laughter to the election. I feel the election was starting to get real serious, which it should, but it needed something to lighten the mood. This was it, and SNL did a great job of it also.
