Obama Enters Debate With Lead

With the final Presidential Debate quickly approaching, Democratic candidate Barack Obama currently holds a 14 point lead, according to a recent poll conducted by CBS and the New York Times. While last week's debate didn't contain the mudslinging spectators thought it might, it is believed that disapproval of the McCain campaign's recent attacks on Obama might be a cause. Tomorrow night's debate, however, is expected to show both of the candidates trying to appear like strong leaders. Not only is this the last scheduled debate between the two men, but in a time of economic crisis, Americans are looking for someone who comes across as being the one to help pull the country out of this growing problem. Despite the fact that most sources agree that Senator Obama has won the last two debates, this does not mean he has the election in the bag. In the 2004 election, most agreed that Democratic candidate John Kerry beat incumbent George W. Bush in every debate, yet he still lost the presidential election. And with fist-fighting seniors on McCain's side, his support still appears to be strong.
