Tonite will be the last in the string oif presidential debates….may I have an AMEN? Hopefully they will be a little more thrilling than the last three, 2 presidential and 1 VP. It should be popular because of the negative attacks that have been flying around in the last week or so.
What could this debate hold for the viewer? That will depend on which candidate shows up. The angry old man or the “happy” warrior. Obama has bascially offered a challenge to McCain to say the negative stuff to his face or shut up. Will McCain take the bait and face the music? If he does, hius chances will diminish. Why? Polls are reflecting the fact that the people are not thrilled with the personal attacks when the economy is going up in flames.
Hell, even staunch conservs are telling McCain to knock it off or lose the election. Writers like George Will, Kristol, Inghram to mention only a few are slowly abandoning him. Even surrogates are not too thrilled with him, people like Mitt and Crist.
Will the viewer get a discussion on issues or will it be one of those things where the candidate only answers questions they like? What will we see tonite? A lurching McCain, lurching from position to position, or the guy who reminds us every other word that he was a POW. Or maybe we will see a candidate that has FINALLY pick a position and will stay with it.
I will be posting my analysis of the debate here later in the day. I usual record it and watch it twice before I make my post…so good luck and good viewing.
I wasn’t able to watch the first half of the debate tonight, but it looks like early polls are saying that Obama was this one, too. I hear that McCain finally asked Obama about Ayers right to his face, and Obama responded that ‘Ayers is not involved in this campaign.’
I can’t stand that smug, arrogant look on McCain’s face as he watches Obama speak. He’s just such a prick.
Hi..and yes he is a prick….read my analysis of the debate….just posted…..at least I did not hear the word POW this time. At least he actually looked at Obama this time.
