McCain vows to whip Obama's 'you know what'
ARLINGTON, Va. - Republican John McCain vowed Sunday to "whip" Democratic rival Barack Obama's "you-know-what" when the two presidential candidates meet Wednesday in their final televised debate.

McCain made that pledge as top advisers said he is weighing new economic proposals to help the nation weather the financial crisis. The Arizona senator refused to answer a reporter's question Sunday about what plans he might be considering.

Addressing several dozen volunteers at his campaign headquarters outside Washington, McCain promised some of his signature "straight talk" about the state of the race. National and many battleground state polls have shown him trailing Obama amid the deepening market crisis.

"We're a couple points down, OK, nationally, but we're right in this game," McCain said to cheers. "The economy has hurt us a little bit in the last week or two, but in the last few days we've seen it come back up because they want experience, they want knowledge and they want vision. We'll give that to America."

5. LOL I Dare Him To Say That To Obama In Person
as Obama towers over him. McPalin should quit attempting to tell jokes and realize that they have become one.

11. Hard to believe anything the man says
When he comes out a couple days before the second debate saying "the gloves are off", then he only tepidly goes after Obama.

Here we are, a couple days before the final debate and he's promised to take the fight to him at one rally and now he's going to whip Obama's "you know what" at the next debate?

Sure, John. Sure. Just like you were perfectly fine with the hate until one day when you decided to try to tone it down and got booed for it.

He's going to go into this debate and be the same, tepid McCain who doesn't attack because he knows damn well any remaining undecideds are not responding to negativity, attacks and hate this year. All he'd do by attacking Obama would be whip up his base and lose more undecideds.
