Health Care

Obaama talks directly into the camera again, and gives a smart, if unimpassioned, answer.

Back to Joe the Plumber, who has already made the transformation from affecting and effective reference to a cheap gimmick. MK sez: he's gone from caring about Joe to using Joe. It's clear who he's targeting here: Joe, the white middle-class voter.

Obama talks to Joe: "Here's your fine, Joe: ZERO." He goes on to skewer McCain's health care plan.

McCain's counter is snarky. And completely untrue. Obama talks to Joe again.

Side note: snarkiness and small-scale fireworks aside, this debate so far is a lot about numbers and facts and such dryness. I don't see anything so far to ignite the voters' passion. Does anybody else?
