CLEVELAND - For Senator John McCain, tonight could be the straw that breaks the camel's back.The final showdown.
The Republican nominee squares off against Sen. Barack Obama (D.-Ill.) in the third and final Presidential debate at 9PM EST in New York and with so much at stake, (namely the White House) expect McCain to pull out all the stops in a pathetic attempt to close the gap with his frontrunning rival.
Obama won't flinch.
For a man with so much (purported) class, McCain has been rather vicious in recent weeks in his personal attacks on Barack, hitting below the belt on several irrelevant topics, especially painting Obama as a not-to-be-trusted greenhorn with ties to a terrorist (William Ayers). Such claims have ignited a myriad of disparaging remarks from conservative supporters of the GOP and has, in my opinion, discredited every "good thing" McCain supposedly stands for.
Just being honest.
Tonight, McCain will employ many last ditch efforts to paint Obama in "metaphorical blackface" in hopes of swaying Independent voters by making Barack appear sinister and dangerous. He'd rather waste time on that than focus exclusively on the real issues such as the nosediving economy, healthcare, education and the war.
As for McCain's defense of Obama last week in Minnesota, it was just smoke and mirrors.
And the mirrors that McCain has been using "reflects" his true character.
