The next couple days will be interesting to see if the McCain campaign is actually going to be on taxes and spending like McCain setup or not. I have my doubts still.
And for Obama his best recourse would be to go back to campaigning like he was tied. I think he looked a bit too defensive tonight and almost like he was bored to be there. ie too comfortable with his lead right now. You get that way it can get away from you in a blink of the eye.

He's been campaigning hard, he's alot different on the stump than he is in debates. Debates were never his strong suit.....if they were he would have said, in response to bringing up Ayers "People who live in 7 glass houses shouldn't throw stones" and brought up the Keating 5 and stuff like that.
That's not his style though. All he had to do in the debates was cross the "commander in chief threshold" (term courtesy of Hillary Clinton) in the minds of voters, and he did that in the first debate.
I seriously doubt they're going to let up....in fact I expect a surge in airwave saturation....part of that being the 30 minute infomercial on the Wednesday before the election.
He's going to dominate nightly news coverage on Thursday and Friday with them talking about what he did in the commercial, and then all of the Sunday editorials will be about it as well.
Nail, meet coffin.
