It will be interesting to watch the candidates spar on foreign policy and economy in a short time.
In less than 10 minutes the debate will begin and they introduce the candidates.
Polls have shown that as much as 59% of those surveyed said that they expected Senator Barak Obama to come out ahead, so the pressure is surely on.
The forum is expected to be a free for all of sorts where they will cover a wide range of topics...
What makes this election season so exciting is the fact that there is no incumbent candidate running for office. Two fresh faces, one not so much as the other.
CNN is awaiting the start where regulars like Campbell Brown, Michael Ware, John King, Anderson Cooper and, of course, Wolf Blitzer.

John McCain wants to delay presidential debate due to government bail out
If it isn't clear by now that John McCain is desperate, you will surely be pushed over the edge hearing the latest news which features US presidential candidate, John McCain attempting to postpone the presidential debate scheduled for Friday, Sept. 24, 2008.
After making the surprise VP pick of Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin, it seems that John McCains campaign got a boost in ratings, but once a couple of weeks had gone by, Mrs. Palin has slid into a more subsidiary role on the GOP ticket.
Why would McCain attempts such a stunt? He claims that he is asking for this concession due to the financial crisis involving the $700 million government bail out for companies involved in the current mortgage situation.
One thing is for sure, it is not hard to see why Obama's poll numbers are improving. With John McCain evading transparency, people are expressing their dissatisfaction for the tactics used by the soon-to-be previous administration....that of the infamous George Bush Jr.

9/4/08 - Sarah Palin officially nominated into VP position
If you were watching the lackluster Republican convention, you already may know that Sarah Palin has officially been nominated in to candidacy. It seems odd that the same GOP that is quick to ridicule secularists or leftists for lack of experience and touch with American society, but they now seem to be the most out of touch.
It appearantly isn't clear to the public that the RNC has taken at least as much contribution money from corporations as the democrats.
"We are the gun toting, god fearing, flag waving"
"We know the only place Senetor Obama wants to drill is your wallet."
Marcia Blackburn, congresswomen, spoke on behalf of the RNC. She claims that Obama simply wants to tax us and that will cost us more money, but when you look clearly at what Obamas' tax plan says, he has repeated clearly that you will actually be paying less taxes if you make under $250,000 a year, you will only be paying more if you make over $250,000 a year, which it can definitely be argued that many people who make that much money are currently paying sometimes little to no taxes thanks to all the loopholes in legallities based around issues in tax payer resources.
I don't know about you, but I don't see how that scares most people. Most people I've met don't even make $50,000 a year, so why would that tax plan scare them so much. Now the other part of the equation is whether we need those taxes or not. In some cases, we may...considering that the Republican administration of the last 8 years has surely been the costliest period for our economy and American blood.
No true American is gonna be ok with bloodshed for no good reason, although whether we like to believe it or not, those people do exist America that don't care whether someone dies or not, it's a fact, no country is full of perfect people.
It just begs the question, with an RNC that seems to be coming off as the usual my way or the highway rhetoric. Trying to increase police state activity. They say they want less government, but then they want to tell us how we should live our lives if we are nonconformists. I mean look at the military oil usage.

Sarah Palin on key issues
Many pundits are picking on the new republican VP candidate, Sarah Palin. She has finished an introductory speech that demonstrates her ability to go on the political offensive. She does not hold back when it comes to partisan politics.
Attacking the opposition in the Obama / Biden camp with questions about ethics and experience. The real question is whether she even holds up to her own standard. She's only been in the limelight for a short time and she quickly has become a household name, at least for now.
Some question her ability to lead and touch on social issues. Unfortunately to many, she doesn't seem to care much about social issues. She is against womens right to choice, yet she claims to be running on a platform of empowerment for women. What right is more fundamental than the right to give birth or not give birth? This is not to condone abortion, but is there not anything to be said for those of us that live a life of such illness as a terminal condition or some disease that not even want to be alive?
She only gives a tone of attack and an eagerness to act like a tough underdog...appealing to the hard right with her views on religion and everything else. Not really allowing any room for the secular viewpoint within the platform. What a shame that we have resorted to such partisan politics.
Some would go so far as to say they are using fear to try to win the election...as in the Russian/Georgian conflict as a way to scare people into electing John McCain as a war hero, since, perhaps they don't have much else to run on.
