    I guess I could see where some might get that, and that might have been what McCain was going for. But the thing is Obama has always said he wouldn't fine small businesses so it wouldn't make sense for McCain to have such dramatic disbelief.

    Dude, he didn't roll his eyes or give a sarcastic chuckle. His jaw freakin' dropped. He totally wasn't expecting that answer and "zero" completely took away his argument that Obama would fine small businesses.

    McCain mentioned "Joe the plumber" 21 times tonight and Obama mentioned him 4 times.

    "Joe the plumber" is the new "Maverick" and "Joe Sixpack".

    Plumber Joe Sixpavrick!​

    CBS, CNN all have Obama winning by the widest margin yet of all three debates.



    [edit] Oops on the Fox poll, must have been a Mccain moment.

    [edit edit] seems I might hve been right about FOX

    Meanwhile, virtually the entire Frank Luntz focus group on Fox News, which was staged tonight in Miami, said that Barack Obama won the debate. Luntz termed it a "clear majority," but not one person raised their hand when asked if they thought McCain won.

    I don't think it was his best debate because I think he should have looked directly into the camera even more then he did.I McCain clearly got crushed on ayres it made the negative attack argument that obama accused him of stick,and it carried out through the debate.

    CNN Instapoll Breakdown:

    Independents

    McCain (R) 31
    Obama (D) 57

    Republicans

    McCain (R) 68
    Obama (D) 18

    Democrats

    McCain (R) 5
    Obama (D) 88

    Not surprisingly, the partisans weighed in heavily for their candidate, but the Independents, like in previous debates, go for Obama. The CBS poll, which I believe are made up ONLY of independents, went to Obama 53-22.
