McCain and Obama tear in to each other with some genuinely brilliant quips at the Alfred E. Smith Dinner last night...
McCain (I particularly like the Messiah jibe)...
And Obama. Russian tea room...guffaw, chortle, guffaw.
The perfect anti-dote to an intensifying feud. Nicely done gentlemen.

Typical...

I've watched two terrible debates so I think to myself, it's about time Luke did some work. And guess what? It's the best by a long-shot. For a start it actually resembled a debate which was nice.
I won't carry on with the analysis; Luke's post below is a video laden gem. I'd agree that Obama edged it but only because, as last time, McCain did not deliver a game-changer/knockout blow/purple nurple. Obama is calm under pressure, no question.
Two things that did catch my ear though.
Look, if Obama is right, then McCain has more centre-pieces than a Royal banquet.
And, my friends, McCain has zeroed in on those all important autistic, and plumber, and autistic plumber votes!
It reminded me of this classic from the Onion.

So, first blood Obama. McCain comes back with this one though on perhaps the most pertinent issue at the moment.
Obama had previously referred to McCain as a clone of Bush. Here’s his retort…
I love the way Obama starts with a list of people who probably hate him. They were also asked to speak up about just how downright dirty the whole campaign has become….
And it got fruitier (as much as it can in the sterile and contrived atmosphere of a presidential debate anyway)
Although if you believe Howard Stern, it is never really about policy anyway. These ‘stupid Americans’ features are a little overdone if you ask me.
I’m not really sure if there is any point in going out to cover this election any more (we leave on Monday, by the way!)Most of the polls already have Obama in front, following on from another disastrous week for Sarah Palin and the economy.
The final debate was in the wee hours of this morning. I say that Obama just edged it, but as always, there are two sides to every story.
Here are some key bits and pieces...
