A few thoughts...

Some thoughts on last night's debate....

1. McCain coming out with his mortgage plan on national TV was gutsy. It won't get him the points he needs to win the election, but it was interesting.

2. Obama won points by being more composed than McCain. McCain's pointing to Obama and saying "that one" seeemed snarky and cranky. Not good.

3. I don't think either candidate (or anyone else for that matter) has a really good idea what to do with the economy.

4. McCain tried to look more comfortable around the non-rich last night. Didn't really work.

5. The question of why would we trust either party was funny and cut right to the bone.

6. Obama saying that he nor McCain need a tax break was a good admission.

7. How can anyone know what they don't know? If they knew it, they would have already learned it!

Here's a topic discuss amongst yourselves....the candidates were proposed three priorities: entitlements, energy, and the economy. Which of these three would you work on first? Or is there another priority you value more?

McCain has already changed his mortgage plan, though it is still unfeasible.
