McCain Should Have Challenged Obama More

Alan Stewart Carl, a moderate blogger and an undecided voter, writes about last night's penultimate presidential debate: "The Wall Street Journal nails why John McCain lost last night’s debate. He failed to challenge Barack Obama on substantive matters....Obama has managed to get away with proposing a ridiculous amount of expensive initiatives without McCain or Sarah Palin doing much to point out the potentially disastrous budget implications of those plans. Didn’t we just suffer through 8 years of reckless spending? Just because we switch from Republican-backed squandering to Democratic-backed squandering, doesn’t mean we’re making positive change. McCain should have been all over this. But he let Obama slide. That’s unfortunate. This campaign could have really used a Ross Perot."
