politician ever to go into a debate... but McCain is on the wrong side of EVERY issue, too close to Bush, and there is no way he can shake himself from that. &amp;nbsp;The only thing he can do is attack, and try to put Obama off message, but i believe its too late, even for that. &amp;nbsp;Americans want to hear what Obama has to say. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Its time for Change We Can

about&lt;br&gt;Alaska being a refuge in the last days, and witch hunting. Her husband was a member of an Alaskan group trying to succeed from America. This woman is far more scarier than Ayers. She refuses to let America know anything about her. And besides, when I go to fill my&lt;br&gt;gas tank up at $4.00 a gallon, Ayers is not standing at the pump,&lt;br&gt;but the Republican ghost is. They are the one’s we should fear.&lt;br&gt;Palin is anti-woman, bans books, no foreign policy credentials, and&lt;br&gt;a threat to our national security. Sara “Harry Potter” Palin is what can REALLY hurt Americans and for this we should be fearful. Palin should&lt;br&gt;be sued for slander.</description></item><item><title>McCain vs. Obama: Debate prep</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/06/1497719.aspx#1497780</link><pubDate>Mon, 06 Oct 2008 13:34:20 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1497780</guid><dc:creator>Brian  M  De</dc:creator><description>Will he bring Notes like Palin did ??
