I heard a while ago that 2 of the 3 will have them seated which is to McCain's advantage... |

I agree. But at least the format will be that each person gets the same question |

The debates put Kerry back in the race. Prior to the debates he was trailing badly. |

I don't disagree with you, but you can't overlook how a lot of voters think! |

If people DO just look at their TV screens and declare they like that guy, Obama will win |

If We Could Win With Debates, John Kerry Would Have Won in a Landslide 4 Years Ago |

McCain will look and sound like a confused, grouchy old man and will lose status. |

Nope. And I really think McCain underestimates Obama and will get angry |

I think McCain will be medicated before the debate to avoid just that from occurring. |

I don't think he'll be medicated. I think they think he's "on his game" when he's "feisty." |

Feisty, yes - but not when he's sputtering and stuttering and red-faced as a pimiento. |
