Go on the record before the debate...Will he or won't he?

[senseandsensibility]

Will McSame attack? Yes or no ?

For the record, I say no! I'll spare my two cents as to why and just leave it at that.

[NMDemDist2]

1. I don't think he's got a choice

he has to do something :shrug:

[youthere]

2. Okay...so just to be contrary I'll say he will...and he WILL look like an ass doing it.

[gypsylud]

9. I agree with this

[NotThisTime]

19. Yup, agreed...

[SoonerPride]

3. He won't bring up Ayers

[bdamomma]

18. Bob Sheiffer will.

bring up Ayers. I don't think Americans what to hear about Ayers, we have not enough on our plates.

[my2sense]

4. Yes he will - I doubt he'll be able to maintain his composure

He needs a game changer.

[iceman66]

5. He almost has to at this point, given the hype

so I say 'yes'.

[Danger Mouse]

6. The moderator will give him an opening to attack. McCain will take it.

[Bob D]

7. No.

No.

[tekisui]

8. He will. But, probably not on Ayers

He will leave that to Bob. He will have a lame-ass one-liner, that will fall flatter than "Change you can Xerox".

It could be ACORN, but will likely be something on the economy.

[That Is Quite Enough]

10. No. He'll wimp out.

[ShadowLiberal]

11. He has no choice, he has to attack

[MadMaddie]

12. He won't!

If he does he can count on more backlash!

[Sydnie]

13. He won't n/t

[Kajsa]

14. I think he will, but he's very aware

of the slurs and death threats shouted out during
McSame/Palin rallies.

He will try to do a balancing act- strike out, but not
incite a riot, imho.

[KewlKat]

15. I say no

because he would be an absolute fool to engage President Obama, while in a seated position..........lol. He might have to "look" him in the eye when speaking. This really ought to be an interesting format tonight. Schaffer (sp) will not bring it up either.

[yodermon]

16. nope.

he's already got his base back. He needs the middle now.

[Guaranteed]

17. No, not the Ayers stuff.

It's a loser- and Obama will smash him if he does.

He'd be better off addressing the very serious issues our country has and counting on the caging of voters in the swing states.

[FreeState]

20. No n/t

[Generic Brad]

21. Yes, he will

He will completely embarrass himself tonight. His anger will runneth over.

[DearAbby]

22. He will bring up Ayers and ACORN is a weasel like way

John Sydney Weasel McCain

[MamaDem]

23. Yes, he has no choice. but then again, maybe not ,,,

[Lerrad]

24. Yes, Obama will get him all flustered and he will attack. n/t

[AbbeyRoad]

25. Yes. I think so.

I think he'll bring up some garbage.

[onetwo]

26. He will.

[volstork]

27. I want to see

mccain blow a blood vessel in his forehead.

[Richard Steele]

28. Of course he'll "attack"- it's all he's got.

He sure as hell can't dare talk about FACTS,
because those don't help him.

And he can't just lay on the charm, because he
hasn't got any and looks horrible when he fakes it.

[Pisces]

29. He will!

[Pisces]

30. He will!

[blue_onyx]

31. Yes, he will

I think he'll bring up Ayers. When Obama said he was surprised McCain didn't bring up Ayers in the second debate, I think McCain took that as a personal challenge. No way will McCain let his ego get hurt and not bring it up.

[THUNDER HANDS]

32. i say yes

he's got nothing to lose.

[rucky]

33. Indirectly.

infer about the "company he keeps"

[not_too_L8]

34. When he does Obama will make McNasty's situation even worse

[JBear]

35. Not only do I believe he will attack...

I think he will ultimately blow a gasket and come off as completely off his rocker.

Will it be Palin's husband being part of a terrorist - I mean separatist organization?
Will it be Charles Keeting?
Will it be "the company you keep?"
Will it be his ties with Saddam Hussein through his transition team?

I think it will be "John McCain, Reganomics is dead!"

:popcorn:

:bounce:

[gauguin57]

36. I'm not sure ... cuz McSame knows Obama will be ready with a zinger.

If he attacks, Obama will sit there, with that beatific look on his face, and destroy him with one sentence.

[spanone]

37. i'm with you fellers

[1corona4u]

38. Yes, with help from the moderator.

[Willo]

39. Either the moderator or Obama will go there first nt

[Democat]

40. I suspect he will mention it somehow

Otherwise, he looks like a total wimp.

[Geek_Girl]

41. Yes

nt

[1corona4u]

42. Kicking to see who was right....

:-)

[senseandsensibility]

43. It wasn't me

McSame was very unlikable attack dog, I must say. He came across as mean, petty, and full of rage.
