Watched the second presidential debate last night and as far as I’m concerned Obama won — again. This one was in town hall format which was said to be McCain’s forte.

Before that there were several days of desperate effort to get everything in — including all the late arriving content. But now it’s October 1st and all the issues are live and up. Please check out Gumshoe […]
