Debate Predictions
Post here and check back tomorrow night to see if you were right.

Things to look for:

1. How many guilty by association boogers will McSame attempt to wipe on Obama?

2. How many times will Obama have to coax McSame back into answering the moderator's questions?

3. How many times will McSame use the word "reformer"?

4. Will Obama mention Palin?

5. Will McSame offer condolences to Biden's wife, Jill?

6. How many times will McSame try to make Democrats own Fannie and Freddie?

7. How many times will the name Reagan be spoken?

8. Who wins?

1. The only thing I can predict is that Obama will NOT mention palin.
Oh and mcstupid will look Obama in the eye this time and will charm some people who lost their brains sometime in the past.

2. to your number 4 point.....
.... Barack has made almost NO mention of Palin all month ..... it would bring me great joy for her to not mention her name then either (if he wins.)

5. You may be low on Fannie and Freddie
Based on the viral reich wing e-mails I've received in the last week.

6. You're probably right, but if Obama's smacks him down after one or two,
McCain might have to keep his mouth shut about it.

Left to his own devices, however, it would be more like ten or twelve....

4. Tom Brokaw will be talking about the great warrior McCain.
Don't expect anything good out of this debate.

7. I predict it's going to be a pretty dull rehashing of the same talking points,
and that Obama will again come off as far more presidential than McCain will.

8. I suspect Brokaw will have chosen 45% guilt-by-association questions...
for Obama to answer (Ayers, Wright, terrorist endorsements, etc) with McCain piling on not unlike the Clinton/Stephanopulous/Gibson fiasco. McCain will have questions about age and temperament which he'll keep answering with experience in senate, judgement due to Iraqi surge, and passion for his country <roll-eyes>.

I once thought Tom Brokaw was an unbiased reporter. Silly me.

9. 9. Will McShame give Obama Eye contact?
Edited on Mon Oct-06-08 09:51 PM by galactical
I don't know about you guys, but where i grew up, not giving someone eye contact while they talked to you meant you were being disrespectful, or afraid of them. :-)

14. Do the gloves come off?
Or do we get the cool, calm Obama?
Frankly I'd like to see him tear the man a new orifice. Seal this thing up so we can start fixing this leaking ship.

15. I predict that McSame
will again, not look Obama in the eye because he is afraid he will lose his temper if he does.
