McCain, Obama get tough, personal in final debate
None
Republican John McCain assailed Barack Obama's character Wednesday night as he tried to distance himself from the unpopular President George W. Bush, hoping to turn the final presidential debate into a lauching pad for a political comeback.
Behind in the polls going into the third presidential debate, McCain came out fighting and repeated to Obama's face some of the most negative campaign allegations about the Illinois senator. An unruffled Obama parried each charge, and leveled a few of his own. (AP)
