First Debate On: McCain and Obama to Meet
in Mississippi
Part One of Three
Editor's note. National Right to Life PAC unveiled a new web ad
today its YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/nrlpac).
Entitled "Waiting for Obama's Apology," the ad calls on Senator
Barack Obama to apologize for calling National Right to Life
liars when he was confronted with documents showing he
misrepresented his position on the Illinois Born-Alive Infants
Protection Act. Part Two talks
about an incredibly ominous decision in Wisconsin.
Part Three examines another
tasteless Planned Parenthood endeavor.
Is it possible for a presidential contest--any
presidential contest--to hold a candle to the 2008 race for the
White House? As I write this, pro-life Sen. John McCain had just
issued a statement confirming that he has resumed his campaign
and will debate pro-abortion Sen. Barack Obama tonight in
Oxford, Mississippi at 9 p.m. EST.
The subject tonight is supposed to be about
national security, but no doubt there will be plenty of
discussion about the economy.
As you know, Sen. McCain had suspended his
campaign to try to help fashion a plan to avert a collapse of
financial markets. In his statement the McCain campaign said,
"Following the debate, he will return to Washington to ensure
that all voices and interests are represented in the final
agreement, especially those of taxpayers and homeowners."
The stakes could hardly be higher tonight.
After both candidates have chosen vice presidential
nominees--pro-life Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, by McCain, and
pro-abortion Sen. Joseph Biden, by Obama--and both completed
their respective nominating conventions, the poll numbers are
largely where they were several weeks ago. According to
realclearpolitics.com (which does a brilliant job compiling and
averaging the poll results) Sen. Obama leads by 3.7 percentage
points.
Although it may seem nearly impossible to
believe at this late date, there will be millions of Americans
truly tuning in on the presidential contest for the first time.
One reason obviously is concern over the economy. The other is
that, for many, the only thing they really "know" about either
man is what they've heard second hand. And the election is only
a little over five weeks away.
I expect Sen. McCain to do well in all three
debates.
Please watch if you can tonight at 9:00 pm
EST.
Talk to you Monday.
