OK - I admit it: I'm nervous as hell about this debate

[CatWoman]

don't want to be overconfident, don't want to be underconfident.

And no, I'm not Goldielocks.

Joe "Droopy" Lieberman is on my television screen, and I can't bear the thought of that whiny fucker being a fixture there the next 4 years.

1. 5:2 that McCluck gets booed.

4. will you guys comfort me if things don't go our way?

I'd hate to drink this liter of cognac as a crutch :)

7. I Haven't Been This Confident Since Muhammad Ali Fought George Foreman

Always.

12. There, there...I hear ya! : )

:hug:

[Betsy Ross]

5. You gotta chill and keep working to get Obama elected.

As this week proved, the pendulum will swing back and forth a few times before November. We have to stay steady and even like Barack. Of course we can enjoy the good stuff.

[4_Legs_Good]

8. Me too, I admit it!

It's not that I don't believe Obama can do it, it's just that there's so much at stake, I can't help being nervous.

[democrattotheend]

10. I am too

I love Barack but sometimes he can be too professorial in these debates, and he says "um" too much. He's got to sound smooth or it won't matter that much what he says.

[truthisfreedom]

11. Obama's got this. Don't worry about a thing. Grampa is exhausted from his circus act.

He's frazzled and won't do well because he uses Ambien to sleep at night. Obama worked out this morning. He's fresh and healthy and brilliant and cool as a cucumber under pressure.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

13. Never crossed my mind to be nervous about this event

At this point the expectations are for a freakshow, and Obama never does anything freakish.

[oviedodem]

14. Man I agree with you. I hope Obama can push him to the edge

[bigtree]

15. I just picture Barack

-cool-

[MoonRiver]

16. I now believe that Obama has this election in the bag.

Palin did it. McCain is probably not going to make it through 4, more, years. That would put animal mass murderer,environment destroyer, not ready for prime time, Palin in the world's most powerful driver's seat.
:scared::scared::scared::scared::scared:

[FrenchieCat]

17. Gawd!

[CatWoman]

21. I can't help it Frenchie

I'm scared :scared:

[terrya]

18. I am, too.

Given the SHIT that McCain and his campaign has pulled in this campaign, I'm nervous as hell. There's so much riding on this debate.

I'm immensely proud of our nominee. But, damn I'm nervous.

[Beaverhausen]

19. He did fine against Hillary and Biden who are far better debaters than McCain

Obama will do fine.

[nevergiveup]

20. Do not worry

Barack will be cool, calm, and collected this evening. The media will spin it for McCain regardless of how it goes and by Sunday we will have forgotten the debate and will once again be able to focus on John McCain's new theatrics, whatever they are.

[Cha]

29. Right..mccain's latest theater of the absurd..

I feel excited in a good way..like I'm going to a very important party tonight and everything has to be just right! :bounce: :kick: :party: :toast:

I've got butterflies but not the impending doom ones:P

[spanone]

22. do you think we'll be reminded that mcpalin was a pow?

:shrug: :rofl:

[terrya]

24. It will be the nauseating insincere "my friends" that McCain will say about 9.000 times...

that will make me queasy...

[CatWoman]

26. oh GAWD!!!

Every time he goes with that "my friends" shit I wanna SCREAM!!!!!!!!!

:nuke:

[terrya]

35. Here's what kind of makes me nervous.

Remember that Saddleback Forum fundie crapfest? We all know Obama did superbly that night. But, well...the sneaky bullshit about McCain given the questions in advance....

That's what I remember thinking about tonight.

[CatWoman]

41. which brings to mind this question: how are the questions formulated?

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

23. Obama has always done at least ok in his debates.

And he's been in a lot of them. No major f@ckups that I'm aware of. So at the very minimum he'll be fine.

Personally, given the tempo of his campaign lately, I expect him to be all over McDouchebagg from the get go. Whether the MSM gives him a win, who knows. I think if Obama is concise and on the offensive, he'll chalk up a win.

[mourningdove92]

25. die hard Hillbot here says that Obama

will chew him up and spit him out. This is gonna be fun.

[KSDiva]

31. yep, if he can stand his own against Hillary

he can definitely have McCain for lunch. And Dinner. And a midnight snack.

I keep envisioning Obama cool, calm and collected just picking away at McCain (who is tired and frazzled and upset from his stunt that didn't work) and McCain just exploding. Jowls wiggling, combover a-floppin, red faced and eyes a twitching.

From my mouth to your ears Lord! <prays>

[H2O Man]

27. Droopy

will be on the outside, looking in.

And it is good to feel a little nervous. The human brain is programmed to be more alert and attentive to details that way.

Enjoy the debate.

[CatWoman]

36. I just heard about Teddy

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I'm so upset!!

[msallied]

30. This is the debate we've been waiting for!

Remember when we said we couldn't wait to see him let loose in the general election because he showed too much restraint in his debates with a fellow Democrat? Well now is that time! This is when we get to see what Obama is made of, and I have a feeling that it's not going to disappoint!

[stillcool]

32. the way I'm feeling..

you'd think I was the one debating.

[opihimoimoi]

33. Get a Grip Girl....things will be what they will be....expect the worst...and if our side comes out,

better yet....

The McCamp is hampered by Neg Forces....Hardly a way to run things...at this stage...usually fatal to the Campaign...

Fatigue and Confusion must be avoided in Battle....Sun Tzu

McLost is really not ready for prime time...never will be....unprepared and uninspired...he plods on faking his way through life...

[CatWoman]

37. I'm so upset Opi

I just heard about Teddy.............

Now I'm more nervous and scared than ever.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[opihimoimoi]

48. Our Man KICKED ASS....Macky looked like shit

:toast:

[barack the house]

34. That's perfectly correct, a little anxiety is healthy we have to be on >

our toes till November.

[RepublicanElephant]

38. i'm nervous about the post-debate pundit spin...

"both candidates did great tonight"

"debate does little to move obama ahead"

"mccain looked more commanding"

"obama's tie was leaning toward the left"

...and even more msm nonsense.

keith and rachel will be the only honest observations tonight.

[PlanetBev]

39. By the time Obama is finished with McCain

there won't be enough of him to spread on a Ritz cracker.

McCain made an ass of himself this week, and I think Obama will take advantage of that and steal his socks.

[krawhitham]

40. Look at this

It's working for me

[CatWoman]

42. lol

Frenchie Cat already slapped me across the bridge of my nose with that :)

[Blue_Roses]

43. I'm right there with ya!

I have faith that he will do great, it's just the tricks that the GOP play that worry me. I've never been so nervous about a debate in all the years I've been following them!

I'm gonna have to get me a beer in a minute so I'll be sipping one with ya:D

[krawhitham]

44. OK, my heart is racing

[burythehatchet]

45. you'll do fine

;)

[LooseWilly]

46. I think McCain is fighting a case of Palinism..

His first answer was all over the place. And don't forget energy... (drill baby drill?)

[Faygo Kid]

47. Makes me nervous as hell. I'm seeing mistakes on both sides.

Hit the road, John.
