11 days to the first debate.

[Blarch]

September 26th.

This is our turning point folks. Obama will get bumps from the debates that will stick, and he will build on it.

McCain will face the issues at the debates, there will be no place to hide. I see a sunny sky above a sunny sky.

Just a reminder ...now carry on.

2. No, McCain is AMAZING in debates and Obama is WEAK.

I'm not sure if Obama even deserves to be on the same stage as McCain. And Palin -- she's going to scorch Biden.

(Please think about what happened in 2000 if you don't get it)

3. I bet Palin is shitting her

pants when she thinks about facing Biden--Lion of the Senate.

I am stocking up on beer for that night--it is going to be a party in my house!

6. Yep! Me too...

There's only so many time she can answer with her talking points... she hasn't memorized enough of them for a whole debate!

4. i felt the same in 2000 & 2004

the 'debates' are not debates. if they were debates in the high school sense, this race WOULD end on night 1.

however, the bar for the GOP is set at kindergartner level by the format, the moderators & the questions. otherwise GWB would have been utterly humilated, instead his surviving was hailed as victory.

meanwhile obama & biden have to twist themselves into knots trying to 'respect' their opponent's utter cluelessness, lest they seem 'elitist'.

this is the reality.

5. If

Obama wants to win he better learn real quick how to give simply straight forward answers. None of this big lenghtly answer stuff. He has to remember that he is talking to SIMPLY people who like their answers short and sweet not drawn out. Leave the lectures to the stump speaches and GET TO THE POINT!
