Last Words

Today I read an article in the Stat Tribune called Presidential race: Closing arguments. Tonight was one of the last nights for the presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain to make their last statements of why they should be president. Barack Obama spent 4 million dollars to put up his 30 minute long infomercial, his infomercial included his rally with former president Bill Clinton and he discussed the everyday problems of the average American like, health care, retirement funds, and the loss of jobs. Obama’s infomercial was intended to hit and win over the swing state of Florida. In response to Barack Obama’s infomercial McCain said to a Riviera Beach audience "When you're watching this gauzy, feel-good commercial, just remember that it was paid for with broken promises." Also McCain appeared tonight on “Larry King Live” making comments like “Senator Obama hasn't told the American people the truth.” But even with John McCain’s counter arguments Barrack pulled ahead in the polls for Florida.
