Travellers’ Blog Entry No. 24

The third and last presidential debate was shown on TV this evening.
Before it started, many experts had assumed, that McCain will be a lot more offensive in this final debate and that Obama will be more defensive in order to bring his leading position of the last two debates home.
Exactly this happened. While Obama stayed calm during the whole dabate, Senator McCain used every single opportunity to make an attack against his democratic opponent.
A nice try - but this strong offensive behavior let the candidate appear like a dogmatic Republican.
Obama could make his points of his programs clear, he was again the leading candidate in this debate.

Interesting to see: Different to the big cities, the people in Mead View did not meet in the restaurants or bars to watch the debate together. In the restaurant we were tonight (and it is the only one in around 65 miles) the TV was switched on, but the tone was mute and no one seems to waste a short look on it.

In the following blog entry tomorrow, I will include Georg's point-of-view to this debate.
