Does McCain really have it in him to question Obama to his face?
This was in response to Obama's statement, here:
"I am surprised that, you know, we've been seeing some pretty over-the-top attacks coming out of the McCain campaign over the last several days, that he wasn't willing to say it to my face. But I guess we've got one last debate. So presumably, if he ends up feeling that—that he needs to, he will raise it during the debate."—Barack Obama, responding to Charlie Gibson's inquiry about the McCain campaign's assertion that Obama is an unknown quantity and implication that he is a terrorist.
And Joe Biden is saying the same:
“All of the things they said about Barack Obama in the TV, on the TV, at their rallies, and now on YouTube … John McCain could not bring himself to look Barack Obama in the eye and say the same things to him,” Biden said this morning. “In my neighborhood, when you’ve got something to say to a guy, you look him in the eye and you say it to him.”
I have to say that I think Obama/Biden is trying to goad McCain (Senator Hothead himself!) into a display of temper in the last debate. There have been rumors for years that McCain was a touch unstable, and anything that confirms that reputation is likely to be a game ender with most independent voters. Obama's composure at the debates has been a clear argument for who is more "presidential."
Though, I think if we are honest about the election, it's pretty much over anyway.
