3. If McCain listen to Ayers he wouldn't have ended up in a tiger cage
He's still bitter.

4. Charles Hurt of the NY Post says McCain should swing back to foreign policy
http://www.nypost.com/seven/10072008/news/columnists/john_must_make_debate_a_world_war_132534.htm

That's another loser for McCain on a day when the Dow lost over 500 points.

So, McCain's going to ignore the questions that are asked as well?
That would be utter brilliance because we all know that worked so well for Palin (sarcasm).

5. Of course he does... he knows he can't win by discussing the actual economy...
since it would call attention to the Keating 5 scandal and the fact that he has 83 Wall Street Lobbyists working for his campaign.

Fear, Smear & Distract is the name of McCain/Palin's game.

6. Let him talk about Ayers. It illustrates how far out of touch he is.
Americans are gravely concerned about the E-C-O-N-O-M-Y and this foolish bastard doesn't understand that. He is a total loser.

I hope Obama mops the stage with him tonight.

7. He may try
To change the subject to Ayers, but it isn't going to happen. Now I hate what happened today, and even though I took a pretty good hit "again" today in the stock market, the one good thing is that there is no way in hell that McCain can keep from talking about this mess, it just won't happen! He may get a few right wing nuts to ask something about Ayers to help him out, but it will just make him look bad if he tries to change the subject tonight.

Everybody with a 401K, retirement money of any kind, nest eggs, or any kind of investment are going to be mad as hell tonight, and all Obama has to do is hit McCain on his "deregulation" buddies, and the fact that McCain helped them get us into the mess we are in today! This morning congress was having hearings, and it was brought out by one of those they were talking to that lack of "regulation" and lack of enforcing regulations are the reason we are in this mess today. McCain has a long, long record of helping his buddies deregulate the financial markets. If Obama can keep hitting him on that, I think the man will go ballistic, especially if the questions from the crowd are on the economy, and his roll in getting us into this mess!
