After making it through the second presidential debate last night without committing any serious gaffes, Sen. John McCain slipped this afternoon when speaking to a crowd in Pennsylvania by calling voters "my fellow prisoners."

"You and I together will confront the $10 trillion debt the federal government has run up and balance the federal budget by the end of my term in office. Across this country, this is the agenda I have set before my fellow prisoners and the same standards of clarity and candor must now be applied to my opponent."
Presumably McCain meant to say "my fellow Americans" or "my friends," instead of "my fellow prisoners." The Arizona Senator didn't seem to catch his mistake and continued on to criticize Obama for avoiding the tough questions in this campaign.
Standing behind her father, Meghan McCain briefly looks surprised while vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin also is flanking McCain on stage, but it is less clear whether she recognizes the mistake.
