I expect Obama to agressively attack Hillary at the debate
Obama knows this is his last shot, and I fully expect he will come out firing, and with a determination to finally show Hillary "who's boss".

Yes, Obama will be looking to put Hillary in her place, and will try to dominate her with a macho display both in words and body language.

Hillary better be prepared for Obama tonight, he is going to try and rip her to shreds.

I am confident Hillary will hold her on and then some!

2. Hillary is going to have a blowout debate and outmaneuver Obama at every turn.
This is it: one on one.

6. I agree, this is the big one
although I don't expect it to be like the SC debate, their attacks and counter attacks will be more polished this time.

7. Debates are not Obama's cup-o-tea.
I bet he is just hoping to survive.

12. When Obama can't mesmerize listeners with pie-in-the-sky soaring rhetoric, he falls
flat on his face.

8. ah well I hope not
I want to be proud of both Our Candidates tonight.I want to see "Presidential" from both of them.They can get rough and down to the dirt of the issues but in the end they're on the same side.Part of my problem with Barack is that he has disparaged Our Party with his RayGun remarks and implying he wants to get in bed and cozy up to Republicans.He needs to remember he's a Democrat first and fore most and this game is ultimately to get a Democrat elected not to destroy a fellow Democrat.


Having said that,if he does go after her in that manner I fully believe that as seasoned and battle scarred by the msm and by republicans and Democrats alike,Hillary is up for that fight.Ready willing and able.'My girl' will be just fine,I have no doubt.:popcorn:

16. I'd also like for both of them to shine
After watching the petty sniping between Romney and McCain last night, I want both our candidates to be thought of as the better choice no matter who gets the nod.

10. I think that is what Clinton is hoping for so she can play the poor little
woman card. Let Clinton go on the offensive, b/c when she does that she come across REALLY harsh.

13. I expect lots of whining later about how the big bad man picked on the girl.

18. Obama does whine a lot about that big bad man Bill Clinton picking on him...
but as much of a wuss as Obama is, I still wouldn't call him a "girl".

14. I wouldn't be surprised if he b**ch~slaps her or breaks her arm on camera...
he seems to have a violent mean~streak.

Otherwise, Obama's debating abilities leave much to be desired. He stammers and stutters and resort to hemming and hawing as his pea~brain attempts to put sentences together. He really reminds me of W in that particular way.

I hope Senator Clinton mops the floor with him.

15. Obama might want to ring up Rick Lazio
and ask him how well that tactic plays out.

17. I was thinking the same thing
and I'm sure Senator Obama has been warned about it. It would be nice to see a civilized debate to show the comparison between our side the the repukes who ripped eachother to shreds last night.

19. I have no doubt that Hillary will be able to handle Obama - but the real
question I have is will Obama be able to handle Hillary?


It matters because this is nothing compared to what they will get in the GE.

20. Debates are not his forte.
Unless he has a scripted response, he can't take the heat. If Hillary starts nailing Obama on his positions on various issues (his economic plan, healthcare plan et.c), I don't think Obama would be able to strongly defend himself for the simple reason that he is not used to being verbally challenged. Hillary knows she has to be better and quicker (she's got a gift for that after being pounded for years by the rightwing and the press). This will be interesting to see tonight. I truly hope we won't get bogged down with the Rezko b.s. or any other b.s. because I really want them to show us their differences on the issues.
