With just four weeks left until Election Day, and the American public worried about quite possibly the biggest economic crisis since the Great Depression, tonight’s debate between Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and his Republican rival, John McCain, could get ugly.
The debate will air on KLAS-TV Channel 8 from 6 to 8 p.m. Several watch parties have been scheduled by both campaigns.
The debate will be held at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn., and will feature a town hall format that McCain favors. Questions on both foreign and domestic policy will be asked by audience members as well as Internet participants.
Despite the intended topics, recent remarks that the candidates have made about each other indicate that character attacks might be used in this debate. And with Wall Street worries on voters’ minds, audience members might be more interested in economic issues.







Obama is so concise on what needs to be done and considerate of the poor and middle class. McCain is full of garbage, his defense of his supporting the failure Bush in his own words "over 90% of the time" is to shamelessly point out those same failed policies he helped create by giving the wealthy more huge tax cuts to fix it all? He would invest all our money left, on tax cuts for his wealthy friends, all we have left on the waste product Iraq war and have a domestic "spending freeze" that would paralyze America here at home for good. One of the main reasons America is in the trouble we are in because the Bush administration instead of investing in the American people with more Domestic spending, invested in Iraq and tax cuts for the wealthy instead! Obama will reverse all of that and get us out of Iraq taking those tax cuts and wasted war spending and re-invest that money in job creation, energy, health care, housing and everything Americans desperately need right NOW. It's obvious why more and more Americans are turning away from the failed policies and ideas of McCain/Bush and moving to get behind Obama.
