So, will McCain display his famous temper tonight? And, if so, why?

[fed_up_mother]

What could Obama do to drive him to a meltdown?

Freepers might get all excited and pee in their pants over McCain's temper, but most people will be horrified.

My guess is that Obama will insinuate that McCain was playing politics all this time - which will be an attack on the POW's honor!

1. He won't have time for his nap, so,yeah, I'd expect to see it.

[radfringe]

15. my thoughts exactly - about the nap...

my dad will be 80 in december, he gets a wee bit cranky if he doesn't take a nap in the afternoon

2. Check this thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=7195716&mesg_id=7195716

any takers?

3. it wouldn't surprise me if he blows up.

He's on the edge of falling apart to begin with and while knowing he's been selected as his party's designated loser ( like Bob Dole ), he didn't sign on to lose what little remains of his tattered dignity.

He's plenty pissed, I'm guessing

[fascisthunter]

4. He Will Flip Out and Piss Himself on Stage

oh the image....

[BattyDem]

5. He's definitely on the edge of a cliff ...

it's not going to take much to push him over. If Obama gets one solid hit, Johnny's gonna blow!

6. Unfortunately, this debate is supposed to be about foreign policy stuff.

So there won't really be much opportunity to question Grampa's constant flip-flopping and admitted cluelessness on the economy.

Maybe Obama can bring up his references to Czechoslovakia and the USSR in the present tense. Or his numerous references to Iran being in league with Al Qaeda - especially since Holy Joe won't be in the house to help McCrazy out this time.

[deadparrot]

8. Yeah, but there's going to be questions on economic stuff, too.

Not that there isn't plenty to mock (and fear) in McCain's foreign policy platform.

[FreakinDJ]

13. The Financial Crisis will take over the Topic of Debate

Make no doubt about it Floks

The Bail Out is on the Lips and Minds of every American. To attempt to "Side-Step" the issue is political suicide

[TexasObserver]

7. Yes. He will have to try his "let me tell you something, Mister" attitude.

[lpbk2713]

9. He'll try to make the most of the obvious age difference.

McLame will probably try to find a way to use Bentsen's line that made Quayle look like such a schmuck.

Obama ought to try to push his buttons by teasing him about his Letterman no-show.

[hvn_nbr_2]

10. They'll have him too drugged to explode.

He'll more likely fall asleep or babble so incoherently that Rev. Muthie will think he's been saved.

[malaise]

11. I hope so

:popcorn:

[CrispyQ]

12. Much as I hope we see his temper flare, I think we're going to see a repeat of Saddleback --

joking & making light of serious questions. Republicans don't mind when their politicians take a serious venue & mock the whole process with levity.

Of course, if a dem were to do it...

[FreakinDJ]

14. "Joking and Making Light" won't fly with the American people ..

right now.

$1 Trillion Dollars and or Great Depression is No laughing matter. To do that would all but assure Obama of a "Land-slide-Victory" come November. The Jokes about McSame's incompetence would not let up right up to Obama's being sworn in as the next President of the United States

[fed_up_mother]

16. I think he's going to be roaring mad that the dems and republicans did this to you "my friends"

And only the maverick can fix this problem. :puke:

[FreakinDJ]

19. Being caught Lieing in the Debates

would only hurt him in the long run

Sure he might enjoy a bump in the polls for a day or 2, but at a cost of the News Media blasting him for weeks.

And yes - the Media is jumping ship like most Americans

[Javaman]

17. worse yet, he goes apeshit and lets loose a racial epithet. and down in flames he goes. nt

[MrCoffee]

18. If he has to miss Matlock for the debate, then yeah, he'll be all riled up and ornery.

[politicasista]

20. Never seen his temper, but I heard it's explosive n/t

[dkofos]

21. It wouldn't suprise me if he fell down dead from a stroke tonight.

Look at a few pictures from the last week.
Notice the eyes.

[pleah]

22. I have been predicting this for a long time.

He will lose his temper and do or say something really stupid.

[sutz12]

23. "What could Obama do to drive him to a meltdown?"

Just be himself. :shrug:

What pisses the freepers off most of all is that Obama doesn't get flustered when they pull their crap. He doesn't panic and make a fool of himself. He considers his answers and thinks before he responds.

He doesn't react like they want him to.
