MCCAIN: "THE ECONOMY HAS HURT US A LITTLE BIT IN THE LAST WEEK OR TWO"

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."

McCain said he and running mate Sarah Palin would continue campaigning hard in the three weeks left before Election Day, in places like Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, Nevada and Colorado. The two planned a joint appearance Monday in Virginia, a Republican stronghold turned battleground this time.

"We're going to spend a lot of time and after I whip his you-know-what in this debate, we're going to be going out 24/7," McCain said.

The two men will debate Wednesday at Hofstra University on Long Island, N.Y. CBS News anchor Bob Schieffer will moderate the 90-minute forum.

Still, McCain promised to run a "respectful" campaign in the weeks to come.

5. ..."whip"?

Um. I am normally not the first to jump out and be the PC police, but that may be a bit of an unfortunate choice of words considering the past week.

And no, he most certainly won't whip Obama's "you know what". Is he insane? :rofl:

[MarjorieG]

17. Concerned he'll throw another bad plan that can't be refuted until after the debate.

Last debate's mortgage plan didn't hold up-buying high and selling low, but on the spot he could one-up Obama. Hope Obama is expansive on how complex but with some of his plans, though he's said he doesn't know what they'll find in February.

[ferrferr]

18. I think he needs to donate some of his money to me.

So I can help my boyfriend cover the mortgage on his house that won't sell that we moved out of just over 2 years ago. It's by some magic chance that we've had people rent it twice now. Hurt a little bit .... in the last week or two. Hey McCain, remove your head from your anus.
