OK -- been surfing, reading blogs, news articles, what have you, and nothing stands out. It's just one vast mass of lies, misdirection, irrelevancies, and junk -- and that's just the reports on the last debate.
However, there are some discernible trends:
McCain's campaign will take advantage of the right-wing noise machine's anti-Obama smears (Muslim, black, not patriotic, black, radical, black, terrorist sympathizer, BLACK!) while trying desperately to remain unimplicated. (The way to remain unimplicated, of course, is to stop them, which is not something that the probable nominee of the the party of goose-stepping rightards should find difficult -- given any sort of motivation at all.)
Tim Russert and his clones will continue to try for gotcha! moments rather than any substantive coverage of the candidates.
Obama will continue to be held accountable by the press for comments from people not associated with his campaign, while McCain will get a free pass.
Yadda, yadda, yadda. . . .
Gad! I really hate election campaigns.
