     - I think Obama will have advantage of telegenic-ness and charisma...  phantom power   Aug-06-08 01:27 PM   #16 
        - I agree. But at least the format will be that each person gets the same question  jenmito   Aug-06-08 01:31 PM   #21 
  - Sen. Obama will have to be careful not to do ANYTHING that can be spun by the rw media -  TooBigaTent   Aug-06-08 01:15 PM   #2 
  - Hmmm...maybe. Remember, we thought the same thing about  napi21   Aug-06-08 01:16 PM   #3 
  - You just beat me to it. NT.  Christa   Aug-06-08 01:17 PM   #6 
  - I was just going to say the same thing.  highplainsdem   Aug-06-08 01:18 PM   #8 
  - The debates put Kerry back in the race. Prior to the debates he was trailing badly.  Zynx   Aug-06-08 01:17 PM   #7 
  - That's right. The swiftboat liars messed him up badly. And you're right  jenmito   Aug-06-08 01:22 PM   #12 
  - Yeah, but neither one of them compares to Obama with his combo of temperment,  jenmito   Aug-06-08 01:19 PM   #9

  - If We Could Win With Debates, John Kerry Would Have Won in a Landslide 4 Years Ago  AndyTiedye   Aug-06-08 01:21 PM   #10 
  - He came back big after being slimed by the swiftboat liars. n/t  jenmito   Aug-06-08 01:24 PM   #13 
  - Without a doubt, a proper debate would do exactly that.  Arnold Judas Rimmer   Aug-06-08 01:21 PM   #11

  - The American public has been trained to distain anything intellectual  TrogL   Aug-06-08 01:26 PM   #14 
  - McCain will look and sound like a confused, grouchy old man and will lose status.  jenmito   Aug-06-08 01:29 PM   #19 
     - Ahh, yes - but the minute McCain smiles and shows those pearly yellows...  hisownpetard   Aug-06-08 01:46 PM   #24 
     - Nope. And I really think McCain underestimates Obama and will get angry  jenmito   Aug-06-08 01:54 PM   #26 
        - I think McCain will be medicated before the debate to avoid just that from occurring.  hisownpetard   Aug-06-08 02:11 PM   #28 
           - I don't think he'll be medicated. I think they think he's "on his game" when he's "feisty."  jenmito   Aug-06-08 02:17 PM   #30 
           - Feisty, yes - but not when he's sputtering and stuttering and red-faced as a pimiento.  hisownpetard   Aug-06-08 02:38 PM   #31 
           - I agree. I don't think they are planning on Obama getting under his skin.  jenmito   Aug-06-08 02:43 PM   #34 
           - I wonder if he’ll hear the feed from his wire  DeeDeeNY   Aug-06-08 02:49 PM   #38 
           - Like they did to Bush before the second Kerry debate..  Virginia Dare   Aug-06-08 02:42 PM   #32 
     - McTiregauge will definitely show his true colors during the upcoming debates  madwivoter   Aug-06-08 03:54 PM   #43

  - Well, there's only 90 days left until election day, so I hope you're right.  Major Hogwash   Aug-06-08 01:31 PM   #20 
  - Define "landslide"  onenote   Aug-06-08 01:46 PM   #23 
  - He'll win by too much for the Repubs. to be able to steal it. n/t  jenmito   Aug-06-08 01:55 PM   #27
