With an unrepentant economy and Sarah Palin satires dominating the news, several new tracking polls show Barack Obama widening his lead over John McCain anywhere from 14 points at the NYT/CBS Polls to 101 points at MSNBC, taken between the Countdown and Rachel Maddow Shows. Only at Fox News where they show a narrow 3 point margin for McCain in the BillOReilly.com "Phones Are Poppin'" Poll that asked the Folks™ to choose between McCain and a Muslin Comrade of a Terrorist, does McCain hold a lead.

"Obviously thing are looking a bit dire," said McCain spokesman, Tucker Bounds, "so you can expect Senator McCain to take off the gloves at tonight's debate. In actuality, someone will probably help him take off those gloves just before the debate, but he will be well-prepared to be aggressive, no matter the issue."

A McCain campaign release gave reporters an idea on how the senator will confront Obama during tonight's debate.

The economy: Yo mama's so dumb she sold her car for gas money.

Religion: Yo mama's so fat, she got baptized at Sea World.

Education: Yo momma's so stupid, she got locked up in a super market and starved.

The housing market: Yo Mama's so poor, when I was asked her why she was banging on the dumpster she said, "My kids locked me out."

McCain campaign has asked that the two candidates meet daily across the county for town hall yo momma offs.

"If Senator Obama can't take a little insult," said Bounds, "how will he react when Putin says, 'Yo Mamma's so fat it takes two buses and a train to get on her good side.'"
