Win the debate? Most certainly.
But more importantly, John McCain could win the election tonight by doing a few simple things.
Jim Lehrer, the moderator and well-known leftist is sure to try and ask a few gotcha questions, and even if he doesn't, McCain can bring the subject up himself in a variety of ways.
The Democrats have been all over the airwaves today screeching that John McCain's presence in Washington yesterday had scuttled the bill that was already agreed upon.
Imagine that Barack or Lehrer brings this up in the debate. It could go something like this:
Lehrer: Senator McCain, Democrats and some Republicans have been complaining that the injection of presidential politics into this process has harmed their ability to cut a deal, and that they in fact already had a deal before you came into town. Do you have any response to those that accuse you of ruining the deal that was already on the table?
McCain: Yes Jim, I do have a response. The deal that was on the table yesterday was an abomination. It was an affront to every American who expects The President and Congress to act responsibly and protect the interests of the citizens of the United States.
Not only did it not address the underlying problem, it brought no accountability to those who created this problem.
But that is not all.
In typical Washington fashion, Democrats had already loaded down the bill with provisions that would have provided 20 percent of any possible returns that were supposed to go to taxpayers to various left-wing organizations, including a group call ACORN, who is currently under investigation in 39 states for voter fraud and other improprieties, and for whom my opponent has worked in the past.
If my mere presence in Washington was enough to kill this egregious tax-payer ripoff, then I am happy to take credit for that if the Democrats wish to give me that credit.
As it stands, I will not be voting for this bill until Washington gets it's act together and presents a serious reform package.
Now the question is this, will McCain be willing to use such a nuke?
His record on this is spotty, and I have been guilty in the past of assigning more intelligent motives to McCain's actions than were actually present.
Question to John McCain, Do you want to win or not?

perhaps your hopes were a tad high.
What I hate about these debates is that the point-counterpoint often neutralizes the argument.
but at least they had the opportunity for each to show off their respective bracelets.
Even you must have had to take a break after that much drivel.
