Tonite is the nite for the second edition of the presidential debate circuit. Are you ready for some debating? Just a short preview of what I would like to see and what we will mostly likely see.
First, McCain has started going negative more so than before, so since the economy is the number one issue on the minds of the people, what will McCain choose to talk about? My guess is that he will try to go everywhere but there.
Obama should somewhere within the course of the debate look a McCain and ask him directly, if he thinks he associates with terrorists, and be sure to use the plural for that is what Palin did. Now McCain has two choices he either has to say yes or no. A yes answer will make him look silly and a no answer will dispute his running mate.,.it will be a win-win for Obama.
But most likely neither have the cajones to do this on a national stage. We will get a run of talking points that will not really answer any questions the American people have. I would like to see Brokaw ask either candidate if they regret their yes vote, considering the market is still tanking even with $700 billion in the wallet.
McCain will no doubt try to keep the conversation on any thing but the economy and he will try to stir any question away from the subject. Obama must keep the conversation on the economy and it will be intersting to see how he will manage it.
I really want to see if McCain is as evasive as Palin was in her debate.
