McCain to Obama: "Sen. Obama, I am not President Bush. ... You wanted to run against President Bush, you should have run four years ago."
AMBROSE ABAN
CNN analysts, again, have somewhat failed to grade the debate professionally and accordingly tonight. For one, the poll numbers they showed us (Solidad O'Brien) tonight favored Obama and yet they admitted that most of the participants in those polls were democrats. And that is very sad. The third and final debate at that New York university in Long Island tonight was anything but a calculated night. A night when Obama supporters couldn't care less about what McCain had to say. McCain did what he needed to do. He went all out telling Obama and the American people that he was not President Bush. Obama, of course, could not answer back when McCain asked why he didn't run against Bush four years ago since he was so interested in President Bush. And at the end of the debate, Obama did not impress us. He didn't even impressed some democrats. And there are still so many undecided voters between now and Nov 4. McCain did his best to tell the American people that he is not President Bush.

I think CNN political analyst Amy Holm is the best of the lot.
AMBROSE ABAN
Leslie Sanchez is fair. Campbell Brown is full of herself.
JEFFEREY JOHNSON
Gloria Borger is a McCain hater.
AMBROSE ABAN
I think David Gergen played it fair like always tho he is an Obama supporter. Paul Bergala is definitely a McCain hater.
PHIL SPENCER
Jefferey Tooran is an absolute asshole.
AMBROSE ABAN
I don't know about many of you but I personally think John King, Candy Crawley and Dana Bash (sometimes Dana can be mean to McCain and Palin) are professionals reporters. And of course Anderson Cooper (queers' favorite reporter). We believe them. It is not over. Joe the plumber and millions more like him, who are questioning and not liking Obama's tax plans, think the game is not over.
JEFFEREY JOHNSON
No, it is not over. Far from it. And then McCain told Obama: "You didn't tell the American people the truth"
Obama couldn't answer back.
AMBROSE ABAN
But I have to say that Obama was not perturbed. Obama corrected the charges, and leveled a few of his own.
PHIL SPENCER
But Obama sounded more like President Bush tonight and in the last two debates -- at least in terms of his proposed spending.
PHIL SPENCER
The showdown, at a round table at Hofstra University (which I hated really, they should have stood behind a podium or free moving like in a town hall), kicked off the beginning of a 19-day race to Nov 4. McCain, as expected by millions of us, played the aggressor from the opening moments of the debate, accusing Obama of waging class warfare by seeking tax increases that would "spread the wealth around." Obama, as expected and as advised by his camp, played it cool (he is leading in the polls) and laughed at McCain.
JEFFEREY JOHNSON
And the political analysts all accused McCain as rude and disrespectful of Obama during the debate. During the debate McCain also demanded to know the full extent of Obama's relationship with William Ayers, a 1960s-era terrorist and his ties with ACORN, a liberal group accused of violating federal law as it seeks to register voters.
PHIL SPENCER
And he insisted Obama disavow last week's remarks by Rep. John Lewis, a Democrat, who accused the Republican ticket of playing racial politics along the same lines as segregationists of the past.
AMBROSE ABAN
Struggling to escape the political drag of an unpopular Republican incumbent, McCain also told to Obama in the face that Obama should have run four years ago against Bush.
PHIL SPENCER
But Obama didn't answer back. He should.
JEEFEREY JOHNSON
But he didn't. It shows his inability to stand his ground and his position.
AMBROSE ABAN
Obama also said if he'd occasionally mistaken McCain's policies for George Bush's policies, it's because on the core economic issues that matter to the American people — on tax policy, on energy policy, on spending priorities — McCain has been a vigorous supporter of President Bush.
JEFFEREY JOHNSON
McCain's allegation that Obama had not leveled with the public involved the Illinois senator's decision to forgo public financing for his campaign in favor of raising his own funds.
PHIL SPENCER
Obama signed a piece of paper" earlier in the campaign pledging to accept federal financing, according to McCain said. He also said that Obama's campaign has spent more money than any since Watergate, a reference to President Nixon's re-election, a campaign that later became synonymous with scandal.
AMBROSE ABAN
During the debate both men also said Joe Biden and Sarah Palin were qualified to become president, although McCain added his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, was very qualified to sit in the Oval Office and he praised her performance as governor and noted her work on behalf of special needs children.
JEFFEREY JOHNSON
Obama sidestepped when asked about Palin's qualifications to serve as president, and he, too, praised her advocacy for special needs children. Obama said Palin had succeeded in rallying and energizing the base of the republican party.
AMBROSE ABAN
I think CNN should not use Roland S. Martin anymore. He is McCain's #1 hater.
PHIL SPENCER
I totally agree. CNN has no business in featuring Roland S. Martin on its discussion panel. Martin hates McCain so much to a point of sounding like an idiot everytime he condemns McCain and Palin. Shame on CNN for allowing such a biased commentator to be on its AC360 and Larry King Live.
