Today, the Obama campaign takes the art form of the expectations game to a new level with a memo saying that McCain's "debating skills are unparalleled" and that the topic of foreign policy gives him "home field advantage."



Vanderbilt University Professor John Geer: McCain Has An Edge In The Foreign Policy Debate. Geer: "McCain has an edge in this debate, since the topic is foreign policy. Obama needs to show his own understanding of the international affairs."

Georgia State University Professor Mary Stuckey: Foreign Policy Would Seem To Favor McCain Rather Than Obama. Stuckey: "Foreign policy would seem to favor McCain rather than Obama, and I would expect McCain to rely heavily on his personal experience and biography as evidence of his foreign policy expertise."

Heilemann: The Debate On Foreign Policy Is "A Lucky Break For McCain" And A "Chance To Move The Debate To Ground That Favors Him."



nice try Obama campaign nice try :rofl:
