Some funny/thought provoking reactions --

First Read :McCain opens with Nancy Reagan (but doesn't mention Dick Cheney who is also sick). He opened with concerns about Teddy K in the last debate. (Sahil Says: transparent attempt to seem sympathetic?)

FDL Commenter: I support Joe the Plumber's right to have an abortion.

And by the end of the third and last presidential debate, the undecided voters who had gathered in Denver for Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg’s focus group were “audibly snickering” at John McCain’s grimaces, eye-bulging, and repeated references to “Joe the Plumber.”

Word Counts from the debate -

First Read: The final count of "Joe" references (the plumber, not the Biden) is 25. McCain: 21, Obama: 4.

Think Progress: McCain didn’t say “middle class” at all. Said Bill Ayers six times. ACORN three times.
