Tonight is another presidential debate. Whether you are a republican, democrat, or independent this is an important event to watch. I think this debate is even more important then the last one. It is supposed to be a little more "town hall" like so the candidates will have a little more ability to be free with their speech and not so tied to their preparation. Also, the rhetoric has really amped up in the last couple of weeks. The McCain campaign is finally making a big deal about the associations of Barack Obama to the American Terrorist Bill Ayers. They are also talking about the way in which Obama plans to spend a trillion more dollars for his plans and will have to raise everyone's taxes to do so. Obama keeps banging the drum that McCain is out of touch with America and will continue the Bush policies which seem to have led us to economic disaster. Both of these arguments are gaining traction with voters.

Obama is ahead in all the polls now. I wonder what will occur after this debate?
