Did Sen. John McCain walk to the edge of the political abyss Tuesday night and turn back? After watching the presidential debate one has to wonder.
Gone Tuesday night were the ridiculous claims that Sen. Obama pals around with a terrorist; gone were the "who is this guy"; and gone was any mention of his running mate, Sarah "Slimes" Palin. Instead McCain ended up spending a lot of his time talking about another Democratic senator (Lieberman).
While McCain declined to get out of the gutter for a night he did make the comment of the night, pointing to Obama saying "that one," raising questions about just how happy McCain is faced with the prospect of the only way of winning was to go ugly.
With that vision McCain blinked and pulled back from attacking. Some commentators said that the format of the debate prevented him from using personal attacks against Obama.
