McCain need to beat the daylights out of Obama last night and have Barack make some awful mistakes. Neither happened.

Final debate scorecard: Obama 3, McCain 0. Game. Set. Match.

McCain came across as a snarky little b*****d last night. He's was a smirking, obnoxious mess.

It didn't have to be this way ... but McCain started slinging mud.

The polling numbers confirm that McCain's attacks are turning off undecided voters in a big way.

What idiot thought up the "Joe the Plumber" bit?

McCain started last night in a deep hole -- and by the end of the night it was a little bit deeper.

Just as in the last debate, McCain needed a knockout -- and he didn't get it. Obama didn't really gain much ground last night, but he also didn't lose any.

McCain still doesn't sound like he knows what he's talking about half of the time.

The Last Debate

Obama looks and acts like the leader of the free world, while McCain looks like an angry contrarian who keeps the kids' ball if it comes over his fence.

This was -- by far -- the most agitated that the candidates have appeared in any of the debates ... and it would've been nice if they could've just talked about the issues. But McCain didn't want it that way (mostly because he loses on the issues).
