Debate Take-away: McCain Never Really Talks About the Middle

For the second of only three presidential debates, Sen. John McCain didn't mention the middle class not once.

That should speak volumes to Americans, and to you.

This is significant in a time when wages are stagnant and people are losing their homes, their jobs and health insurance.

While Sen. Barack Obama dodged a few questions asked of him also, the one that stood out most to me is one posed to McCain: Is health care a commodity or a right. Obama answered it, McCain didn't.

Help for the middle class is what I wanted to hear more about tonight, and McCain failed yet again to address it.

What questions did you have before the debate, and did the candidates sufficiently answer them?
