Will Hillary pull a "Rick Lazio" at Tuesday night's debate?
I.e., will she, in a moment of utter political desperation, physically invade Obama's personal space in an attempt to gain some sort of advantage? I can see her taking actual copies of the Obama mailer into the room with her and actually holding them up while she speaks, and perhaps try and push them into his face. Obama needs to be prepared for something bizarre.

What say YOU?

3. Unfortunately, I agree with this. It will be bizarre, embarassing and ugly to watch. But then, it
will be over. :woohoo:

8. I'd agree my prediction would be draft sans this past weekend--where she took it to a bizarre level
Anything is possible now.

7. What say I?
I say that your fantasies have gotten the best of you. "Will she?" "I can see her" "Perhaps". Damn, so many words and so little substance.

16. Pithy.
Juvenile and senseless, but it does have the advantage of not wasting much bandwidth.

22. Thanks for the kick, Rio.
Now seriously, please leave. You're seriously not wanted here.

I order you to return to your mom's basement and recommence operation Lego.

31. Don't ask the question if you're afraid of the answer, junior.
By the way, I cast my first presidential vote for George McGovern, not long after being released from Walter Reed AMC after suffering a sucking chest wound and being med-evaced from the A Shau Valley. But still, major kudos for the "mom's basement" riff. You hardly ever hear that one on an internet message board.

15. She might. Anything is possible.
I expect her to try to put Obama on the spot, if not precisely in the way you mention, then some other way. But Obama has succeeded so far precisely because he doesn't get drawn into the drama. The one time he did -- the time she mentioned Rezko -- he came out of that debate as a loser, with John Edwards scoring points off both of them. I think they've coached Obama long enough for him to realize that the best thing he can do when Hillary starts throwing off accusations and getting angry is just to shake his head, maybe laugh a bit, and wait for it to pass. When he does that, he wins.

18. He needs to cooly respond, though. Especially on NAFTA.
He can nail her to the wall on it. She apparently insists on claiming Bill Clinton triumphs as her own, therefore she can take the bitter (NAFTA) with the sweet.

17. Does Texas have Spencer Gifts stores?
Perhaps he should have some of these handy.

20. She could play bumper chairs with him
which might help with the male vote.

21. I don't think so - I think it will be back to angelic HRC
He hasn't been on a shared stage with her since that nice bit at the end of the other debate. She likely will act as though none of the nastiness happened hoping he will look cold - which given her behavior of the last week would make sense. Then the contrast is friendly HRC and Obama in the "she's likable enough" mode - except I thinks he's on to that. She can't afford a Lazio moment.

Before I shook it. ;)

25. Flip that, Hillary will demand Obama sign a 'no-mailer' promissory note.
Obama will shrug it off and Hillary will enter sarcasm mode.

We'll see how Obama responds. Hillary is too smart to touch it.....right?

28. He needs to prepare for her to have a true meltdown. The signs point to a completely unhinged
candidate.

Should be fun to watch.
