As US presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama will soon to
start their final debate last night at Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY,
economy is the focus.
After two rather tame confrontations in two earlier debates in Mississippi
and Tennessee, the pair came here with one final chance to make their cases,
side-by-side, to a nationwide audience.
The economy is set to dominate the face-off as more bad news kept coming out
of the Wall Street.
Since their last meeting in Nashville eight days ago, the stock market has
fallen further and the federal government has partially nationalized some of the
nation's largest banks.
Americans remain worried about the economy, but they still have a modicum of
trust that new leaders can forge a path back to prosperity, according to a new
survey released yesterday by the Pew Research Center for the People.
