4. I'm guessing O will do a little better than Hillary.
They will be under SO MUCH PRESSURE -- just the two of them, last debate before Super Tuesday... I think they both may hold back a bit because of all the fuss about the "fighting" last debate.

I think O will be extra confident after the Kennedys' endorsements, and more confidence makes you perform better.

I don't think either will change anyone's vote, but it will be interesting to see how the undecideds react.

Thought provoking question -

8. Yes, that might be a concern, too -- how people interpret his presentation.
I'm really looking forward to this because I'm totally uncommitted and can view it objectively, as opposed to getting spending most of the time pissed because my candidate didn't get hardly any time. :7

7. I'm guessing Obama because the bar is set so high for Hillary.
It will be like Al Gore all over again. All Obama has to do is be polite and not say any stupid stuff. He doesn't even have to be substantive...just sound good.

9. OTHER:
The Clinton people will say Clinton won no matter what
The Obama people will say Obama won no matter what

In Reality - the winner will be whoever the Media decides it wants the winner to be this week... by showing small clips of biting comments between now & Tuesday to influence votes.

So, there basically will be no winners, and non-corporate Americans will be losers.

GOBAMA.. not that it matters much.
