Obama Slams McCain (3:29am)

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Saturday called Republican rival John McCain out of touch with middle-class Americans, telling supporters that the GOP senator never once uttered the words "middle class" during their first debate. "Through 90 minutes of debate, John McCain had a lot to say about me, but he didn't have anything to say about you," Obama told a cheering crowd at the J. Douglas Galyon Depot in downtown Greensboro. "He didn't even say the words 'middle class.' He didn't even say the words 'working people."' Obama debuted his post-debate attack on McCain with a campaign swing through North Carolina and Virginia, Republican-leaning states where he thinks he can make inroads. He also found time to speak by phone to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., about the congressional negotiations surrounding the Wall Street recovery deal, according to campaign staff.

McCain Says Obama Didn't "Have Such A Good Night" (3:26am)

UNDATED (AP) - John McCain is criticizing his opponent's performance in Friday night's debate. McCain says Barack Obama didn't have "such a good night," claiming the Democrat tried to use the looming market meltdown for political gain. He told the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance in Ohio via satellite that Obama sees the problem as something "to be exploited first and solved later." Obama's camp is also seizing on the debate as campaign fodder and has already made up a new ad critical of McCain for never once using the term "middle class." Obama's campaign manager also says McCain's efforts to paint Obama as inexperienced on foreign affairs was "sophomoric." The next debate is between the two vice presidential candidates, Joe Biden and Sarah Palin, Thursday in St. Louis.
