>Joe the Plumber exchanges were weird.

Did you see after the debate that CBS got Joe on the phone and:

1. He was asked about if Obama's $250,000 tax bracket would affect him, and he said, something to the effect of, "No, but it's a slippery slope -- if he decides now that $250,000 is rich, next he'll decide that $100,000 is rich, and then who knows?" No mention of employees or an actual business.

2. He compared Obama to Sammy Davis, Jr.

Oof.

I thought it was McCain's best debate. I think the distinguishing feature of this debate was McCain attacked Obama in EVERY question he responded to, but, it didn't help him at all. His desperation was transparent, as was his lack of any respect for Obama whatsoever.
