Daily Polichicks - Thursday

Here's your Daily Polichicks:

Campaign 08:

Barack Obama and John McCain went head to head over domestic policy last night in the final presidential debate.  McCain won the zinger of the night award when he said to Obama, "I'm not President Bush.  If you wanted to run against George Bush, you should have run four years ago." Yeah, but maybe McCain should have said that four months ago. He's let Obama peg him as Bush 2.0 for months now.  Is it game over for McCain? Gotta wait and see.  A lot can happen in the final days of play. [The Wahington Post].  

The real star of the debate was "Joe the Plumber," whose name was mentioned 26 times during the debate.  The candidates debated Joe's fate under Obama's tax plan.  "It's pretty surreal, man, my name being mentioned in a presidential campaign," said Joe. [The Los Angeles Times]

U.S. News:

Do you want the good news or the bad news first?  We'll save the good news to make us all feel better, so the bad news is that the Dow fell down in the dumps again yesterday. [The Washington Post]

The good news is that the price of oil is down below $70.  It hasn't been this low since before June 2007.  [The New York Times]

And by the way:

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt plan to adopt again.  "We have so many children that they're not really stunned anymore when kids come home," Angelina said [People].
