The 3rd and final presedential debate will take place tonight when Senator John McCain faces off against Senator Barack Obama. This will be the last opportunity for both candidates to persuade the votes of undecided voters. The location will be at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York. This debate will be different from the previous because it will feature both senators facing towards one another at a table. This type of debate will most likely lead to more arguments and face to face discussions. I believe this style gives McCain an opportunity to verbally and strongly attack Obama. I have been watching the previous debates, and although McCain has attempted to attack Barack's past, the way he has gone about it does not appeal to most Americans. In my mind, Barack's forte is McCain's weakness. Obama accels in delivering his messages to the American people in a attractive way when McCain does not. I feel this is the difference between winning and losing for both candidates.
The expected issues to be discussed will include health care, the economy, and the futures of Social Security, medicare, and the war in Iraq. It has been rumored that McCain is likely to touch on Obama's links to William Ayers, a radical during the Vietnam War. Ayers was a member of a violent Underground group. He and Obama both worked at some of the same charity foundations in Chicago. Obama has built strong leads nationally due to his favored economic policy regarding the current state of the economy. Obama has used similarites in past voted bills between McCain and Bush for his arguments. The moderator will be Bob Schieffer, in the 2nd debate it was Tom Brokaw. The format for responses will be 2 minute answers followed by 5 minutes of discussion time.
