Let's face it the debate on Wed night is McCain's last chance--what will he do
to gain some momentum? or is there really anything he can do at this point?

1. McCain is already gaining momentum.
Unfortunately for McCain, it's going the wrong way.

2. Just a thought
Maybe he'll unzip his costume and reveal that he is the "real" Obama after all and the other one is just a fake!!!:evilgrin:

4. It would take a major gaffe on Obama's part.
And I don't see that happening.

6. Don't know what John can do
although if we play the drinking game (a shot every time he says "my friends") I'm definitely calling in sick on Thursday.

26. I was wondering if he'd do that.
I think that's why he shambled off stage so quickly after the second debate, allowing Obama to mingle with the crowd by himself.

8. He'll say "my friends," make a stupid joke, and put a fake smile on waiting for the laughter.
Then he'll keep talking in his gross child-molester voice, and walk like he has stomach cramps, and then get condescending. That's what he'll do; bank on it.

22. That's it!
You just defined it for me. I was trying to put my finger on it and you nailed it.
That CREEPY clenched-teeth, whispering, squeaky, child-molester voice.
I can hear him plainly: "Want some candy, little girl?" "heh, heh, heh."
He's Chester The Molester. :puke:

28. I hate to use the comparison, because it's so devastating.
But when I hear him giving a speech or at the debates, he sounds like he's just aching to be put in a position of trust so he can hurt people. I can't get that out of my head when I hear him talk, and I'm sorry I put it in yours, but I was tired of sitting on the idea for so long.

34. No apologies needed
I truly believe he actually hates women.
He is so twisted, he makes "jokes" about a little girl (Chelsea Clinton) being ugly. A LITTLE GIRL!
He insinuates that Hillary is a lesbian and she got it on with Janet Reno.
He called his wife a trollop and the C word. IN PUBLIC!
He offers up his WIFE to thousands of drunk bikers in a topless beauty contest.
He made a disgusting joke about a woman getting raped by a gorilla and liking it.
The guy is just plain mean, sneaky and revolting.I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find that he is, indeed, a perv.
He makes me sick.

9. I don't see how McCain can win the debate.
The first two debates favored McCain much more and he still lost. Obama has the issues going for him. And if he brings up Ayers, Obama will be prepared and McCain will again look bad for attacking instead of talking about the issues.
The only way McCain can win is a big mistake by Obama, in my opinion.

13. Didn't gramps promise the voters in one of their
rallies to hit Barack with wright, rezko, ayers, pfleger, bin laden and the rest of the kitchen sink? If he doesn't, it should show everyone what a coward he has become.

15. He said he'll 'whip' Obama's 'you-know-what', but he also promised the gloves would be off...
Edited on Mon Oct-13-08 02:50 PM by Schulzz
before the last debate and that has not worked out so well.

14. Will he do the dingbat wandering again, my friends?
Or cling to his podium?

Will he say "Senator Obama" at least once, to counteract the "That One" thing?

Will he dare to discuss his plans to tax medical benefits and cut 1.3 trillion from medicare ?

18. Don't know about John but I know what I will do...
I'm not watching. I've seen enough. My wife have already voted a straight Democratic ticket on an early ballot and I don't see this debate changing anything so we are going to sit this one out. We may spend our time visualizing an Obama win on November 4th instead - but watching one more debate just isn't in the cards at our house.
