Tonight is the final Presidential debate between Barack Obama and John McCain. It’s no surprise that they still haven’t invited any third party candidates like Bob Barr or Ralph Nader. I still think Ron Paul should be the moderator at one of these debates. Many felt the last debate was boring after there were promises of attacks from both sides. Tonight’s debate may (or may not) bring some fireworks.
John McCain has fallen further behind in the polls so he may believe he has nothing to lose by attacking Obama forcefully. McCain has a history of coming from behind. Will it be too little too late for him? Who knows, but along the way we’ll have our live blog going and we encourage you to join us and comment along with us as we watch the debate.
If nothing else it is a good place to vent your own frustrations at the status quo politicians, one of which will likely be President next year. Unfortunately, these debates perpetuate the myth that there are only two candidates in the running when there are at least 4 others who’d like to have their voices heard: Bob Barr, Ralph Nader, Chuck Baldwin, and Cynthia McKinney.

The New York Times reports that these other four candidates have been invited to their own debate this Sunday night. The only candidate threatening not to show up – Bob Barr! What’s with this guy? Will he just not share a stage with Cynthia McKinney, or what is his problem?
