McCain's last stand

The Republican senator's final debate performance was marked by oddball characters and marginal attacks, as hopes of his political resurrection appeared to fade.

    The Sad Old Boxer!

    McCain looked like the Sad Old Boxer in the final debate, Angry because his days are over, looking and sounding Punch Drunk after three fights he will come to see he should never have thought. If John wanted to be president then it should have been against Clinton in the first term that was his time, now he is fixated in The Past! - Barack Obama is fresh, will bring the Change we need, we many not all agree with his policies, but he is the only real candidate and No One ever mention Joe The Plumber again, yes a one liner but not as used by McCain!
