Spring Break
Final debate proves McCain's superiority

Oct. 15 was the last debate before Americans, young and old alike casts their ballots for our 44th president.
It was time for Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama to make their last televised arguments to the American public and grab those last precious "on-the fence" votes that could determine who will lead our country for the next four years.
Compared to the other debates, this one focused on domestic policies, particularity saving an ailing Wall Street and nearly bankrupt lenders across the country.
In the mindset of this highly supportive Republican, I believe that Mccain has won this debate hands down.
He was quick and detailed in his arguments backing up the reasons to why his economic bail-out plan would work to benefit all Americans.
Included in his $52 billion bail-out plan are things like tax cuts for corporate gains, tax breaks for senior citizens and write-offs for Wall Street losses.
He stressed the short-term fixes as an important part of fixing our failed economy.
One of the short-term fixes is to have the treasury buy back all of the bad mortgages and renegotiate the terms of the loans so the homeowners could stay in their homes and keep the housing economy afloat.
McCain even took out the time to point out a man known as "Joe the Plumber" who questioned Obama's plans. Joe showed Obama and the American public that Obama's plan was flawed against the middle class tax bracket, the very tax bracket that he claimed to protect.
In all, it is very clear who is the more experienced politician who should fill President George W. Bush's shoes, and pull American out of the financial, political and domestic ruts that we as a country are in.
