From the McCain campaign:

As you most certainly have noticed, I did not jump right up and go to my computer to do a round-up of last night’s debate between Senators Obama and McCain. I didn’t do so because, frankly, I was so bored with it I did a lot of talking during it.

McCain needed to hit a grand slam and instead just got base hits. All Obama had to do was make sure he wasn’t out-scored.

I’m not sure about McCain’s proposal to rescue bad home loans and re-negotiate the mortgages on those houses to the current value of the home. From my moderate to liberal side I think it’s a good idea. From my conservative side I wonder how he plans to pay for it and wish I had just purchased a very expensive home I can’t afford to pay for. If he gets in office I could then downsize my payments and still live in luxury.

What I saw last night was not a potential president, but two sitting senators. Debate in the Senate is so boring and that’s what this was. I do think the format was not good. I’d rather have seen the candidates asked questions from average people about what’s on their minds and have the moderator there just to tell them when the 90 minutes were up.

If McCain wants to win he’d better get it in gear and do it last week!

For more excitement I think today I’ll go outside and watch the new grass grow.
