McCain Came Out Fighting; Viewers Dispute Victor

Video will be available shortly.

Voters who tuned in across the country for the third and final presidential debate say the number one issue for them is the economy.

The feisty face-off was supposed to focus entirely on domestic issues but it also included a testy exchange about negative personal attacks.

For some debate watchers, John McCain went too far.

A 72-year-old retiree from Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, says she's tired of hearing McCain bash Barack Obama. She says doesn't want to hear it anymore.

But the crowd at one Florida restaurant ate it up.

Kit Lowe, a registered Democrat who supported Hillary Clinton and now backs McCain, says he thinks McCain is "doing a great job."

Rosa Perez, who manages a telemarketing company, says she was left speechless by McCain's performance. She says "Definitely McCain won the debate."
