Has there ever been a campaign that has inspired more art than this one? The Shepherd Fairey posters, the viral videos, the Obama Girl boy-shorts. And...

"'He should stop calling himself 'Barack Obama' when his real name is 'That One,'" McCain said. "My friends, let's take a deep breath and ask ourselves: what kind of first name is 'That'?"

Obama: You don't have a plan for the fiscal crisis -- you don't even have a plan for how to get from your bedroom to the bathroom! McCain: Are you implying that I wet the bed?

Boooring. Yawn. Anything new? "That one?" That's the big controversy of the night? Do we miss Sarah Palin so soon?

They say that Sen. McCain's strong suit is the town hall debate. If this was, in fact, Sen. McCain's strength, he might as well go home. Sorry... homes.
