McCain's Last Chance

Tonight's debate will have one of two outcomes. John McCain should win since this particular town hall style debate benefits him because he is free to roam around and talk to people. This atmosphere tends not to make John McCain look as old and rigid, which is precisely why he tends to host events with this same format. If Barack Obama happens to "win" tonight's debate then I think it could mark the end of the chance that McCain is still in this race.
McCain, Palin, and the Republicans have already resorted to year old claims of Obama associating with terrorists like Jeremiah Wright and Timothy Ayers. First of all these claims have been vetted in the media and really don't have the legs to stand on, but to be fair I will open that can of worms. Google the names John Vogler, or Alaskan Independence Party, or Thomas Muthee and you can learn all about domestic terrorists that Sarah Palin has closer ties to than Barack Obama does to anyone.
With only 28 days to go McCain is already beginning to end his campaign efforts in states like Michigan and is having to defend states that the Republicans haven't had to defend in over 15 years. Virginia, Florida, and Colorado have been solid red states for the last 3 elections, but this year all three could end up being blue. Johnny you better hope you do well tonight or else its all over buddy.
