(CNN) "? John McCain predicted Sunday he would beat Barack Obama at the final presidential debate this week.
"After I whip his you-know-what in this debate, we're going to be going out 24/7," the Republican nominee told volunteers at his campaign headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, sparking laughter and applause from the group. McCain immediately added: "I want to emphasize again, I respect Senator Obama. We will conduct a respectful race, and we will make sure that everybody else does, too."
Outside the doors of his campaign offices, McCain is fighting to hold on to the traditionally-red state. McCain talked Sunday about the tough fight for Virginia, where Obama currently leads by four points, 49 to 45, in the state's most recent CNN poll of polls. He also pointed to battlegrounds states like Ohio "? which Sarah Palin visited Sunday "? and Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, and Pennsylvania.
"And I'm telling you, we're coming on and we're going to work 24/7 for the next "? who's counting "? 22 days," he said.
McCain acknowledged the dip in his poll numbers since the financial crisis began, but said overall trends were in his favor. "...I'd like to give you a little straight talk, we're a couple points down, ok,
nationally, but we're right in this game," he said. "The economy has hurt us a little bit in the last week or two, but in the last few days we've seen it come back up because they want experience, and they want knowledge and they want vision. And we'll give that to America, and I know that we're going to win this race."

Who knows, maybe he's got something up his sleeve. Maybe he will finally let us know in the debates what his plan will be. How they are different from Bush current policies?
Though he won my respect back when he corrected several of his supporters on Friday. It's sad though, I don't really even know if he has many true supporters. I think this election comes down to those who will vote for Obama and those who will vote against Obama. Sad truth.
Theres nothing up that sleeve, except maybe a back-up tube of Bengay. He has nothing or he wouldve brought it out in the past 2 debates. Mccain doesnt have anything new to offer to the American people, he knows it and I think a lot know it now too. He cant beat Obama on the issues, so he has to try and scare the people...I dont think they are gonna fall for all this again. As Bush says..."Fool me once..uhhhh...shame on, on...you...fool me twi..fool me once and you cant fool me again." lol
The sad thing is that neither have anything to offer, but most are too blind to see the forest for the branches.

Welcome to the USSA!
Thats pretty right on, but I do like Obama alot more than Mccain. I dont think he is the best that there can be, but the few that are hardly ever are taken seriously by the majority of America.

Is this like a joke I don't get or something? I've heard Bush say this several times, and always that exact way. I'm always like WTF man haha
He tries to say "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me" but he doesnt know what the hell he's talkin about lol. Just saying I dont think we are gonna let them(Bush or Mccain) fool us again with the lies and scare tactics.
Well thats what I thought, but I've heard him say it that way two different times so I thought he was doing it intentionally as a joke.
