From all I've read, any negative comment is false.

Its hard to criticize somebody who hasn't done anything. Oops, I think I just criticized him. I hope I don't have to appear in court in St. Louis.

So, we'll have the VITAL debate tonight. The debate so necessary, so all important that it must go on come hell or high water. While Congress, of which both are part of, attempts to reach agreement on a bill that will fall almost entirely on the shoulders of whomever wins the election, they go to Mississippi to talk about foreign policy. Makes perfect sense to me.

Anybody feel like making predictions on the debates ?

I think McCain will do well with specifics and show a good mastery of the subjects. McCain weakness, he might get mad, he's done that before. Man needs to chill out sometimes. I've been surprised on occasion how mean McCain can come across, and not like good passionate committed to the cause mean, but like, goes home and kicks the dog mean. I think McCain does well if he tries to pin Obama down on ANYTHING specific, because Obama is really lousy with specifics because he tries to CYA everything he says so much. I hope McCain doesn't say anything about being a prisoner of war. That is true, and everyone knows it, but it works a lot better when he himself never mentions it.

Obama, I think he's going to be quick on his feet, probably get a few good lines in on McCain. I think Obama comes across as too much of an ass kisser when he says nice things about McCain, he should stop that. I think the hard part for Obama is that this is a lot longer than just a 10 second clip on CNN, and it isn't prepared ahead of time like all the zingers he throws on the campaign trail, so he risks coming across as evasive when he is doing his usual vague big warm fuzzy thing that he does. That stuff looks great for about 10 minutes, but I'm not sure that's going to fly in a long debate with McCain when specifics are being discussed. Obama also really confuses the hell out of people when he tries to be so precise about everything he says. He tries so hard to cover his ass to make sure that nobody can use a single thing he's said against him that all of his half measures and conditional statements make it sound like he's either trying to bullxxxx you, that he doesn't know what he's talking about, or that he's too chicken xxxx to actually say what he means.

Obama didn't show anything in the primary debates that would give me a reason to think he'll do well tonight. I'd guess it's McCain's to lose.

I think the moderators will be the X factor.

McCain made an astute move by "suspending" his campaign to return to DC for the "crisis". Unfortunately he failed to follow up on it, after embarrassing Obama to return as well. Were he astute, instead of an arrogant member of the Senate (which is really a redundant description of all Senators), he would have allied himself with the House Republicans who are arguing for an increased role of the financial industry in the bailout as well as less risk/burden for taxpayers. These are the same congressmen he is going to have to depend on when elected and, not coincidently, the heart of Republican dynamism. What better coup could McCain have than to lay all of this at the feet of such as Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and yes, George Bush who should have canned Paulsen after Bear-Stearns if not sooner.

I love hearing Obama talk about all he's DONE.
