JOHN MCCAIN, HILLARY CLINTON, BARACK OBAMA, HORSERACE

Hillary Laughs at McCain's 'Audacity To Hope You Don't Mind' Joke

Hillary laughs heartily at McCain's comment about "they're going to raise your taxes, and they have the aud-ic-i-ty, the audacity, to hope you don't mind!"

With her laugh, she triggered a thousand primal screams on liberal blogs.

Steph asks if she'll make a pledge to never raise taxes for those making under $200,000 per year. She says she's "absolutely committed to not raising taxes on those making less than $200,000."

Obama echoes the pledge, and says he'll cut taxes for those folks.

I don't trust either, but I'm rather surprised that they both were willing to be pinned down in the equivalent of "read my lips, no new taxes."

Wow. Charlie Gibson notes that when the capital gains taxes were cut under both Clinton and Bush, revenues went up.

These are the GREATEST DEBATE QUESTIONS EVER.

Wow. Hillary: "I would not raise the capital gains tax above 20 percent, if I would raise it at all... I don't want to raise taxes on everyone." She rips Obama's plan to raise payroll taxes.
