Not the one on the attack? Are you serious?

From USA Today "So the Republican's tone was crisper, sharper and more cutting than it had been in the first two debates. He kept Obama on the defensive for much of the 90-minute forum, attacking him for everything from his association with '60s radical Bill Ayers to his decision not to take public financing for his campaign."

Fox news: "McCain steps up his attacks on Obama"

Boston Globe: "McCain attacks, Obama digs in during freewheeling final debate"

New York Times: But then Mr. McCain began to undercut his own effort to paint Mr. Obama as just another negative politician. Mr. McCain grew angry as he attacked Mr. Obama over his ties to William Ayers, the Chicago professor who helped found the Weather Underground terrorism group. Suddenly, Mr. McCain was no longer gaining ground by showing command on the top issue for voters, the economy; he was turning tetchy over a 1960s radical.

“The facts are facts and records are records,” Mr. McCain said, refusing to let the issue go. “He had a long association with him — it’s the fact that all, all of the details need to be known about.” A few breaths later, as part of the same answer, Mr. McCain returned to the economy and the importance of creating jobs.

It seemed as if Mr. McCain was veering from one hot button to another, pressing them all, hoping to goad Mr. Obama into an outburst or a mistake that would alter the shape of the race in its last three weeks.

But for a punch to make a difference, the punch needs to do something to its target — to rattle, to wound, or (best of all) cause the opponent to counterpunch in a self-defeating way."

Hmm - guess there are quite a few people who don't agree with your assertion.

>>> How in the world do you spin it so Obama is attacking the guy?

Do you think it's McCain's campaign that's attacking the guy? Not likely. Have you seen Obama denounce the comments and attacks? Me neither.

>>> Who brought up the poor plumber?

The press that were covering the Obama campaign.

>>> How mentioned his name over and over and over - literally over 20 times? McCain.

I seem to recall Obama mentioning his "name" quite a few time. And, of course, McCain brought him up...His question pointed out the socialism of Obama's policies...which is exactly why Obama would never bring up "Joe the plumber" himself.

>>> Exactly HOW did Obama 'attack' him?

Just read the media.

I was responding to another poster who said that both Joe and his boss (or another guy, can't remember) lost their jobs.

Some people can't 'see' for the blinders they wear. Interesting spin you got going there - hope it gets you through the night.
