They are running around saying how she is a great debater and Obama is so scared of her. Well, when they do debate again people will be looking for him to fall flat on his face. Obama is not a weak debater. Hillary might be a better debater BUT he is not a bad one. I think he will go in and just try not to make any mistakes. If he does that then he wins! Mainly because Clinton and her supporters have raised the expectations of her so high that as long as he does not majorly screw up he wins. WAY TO GO CLINTON! WAY TO GO CLINTON SUPPORTERS! LOL

1. KO said it's the first negative ad of this campaign.
I guess it's only going to get worse.

She is indeed lowering expectations--for Obama. And raising them for herself. Not a good tactic.

2. I'll be surprised if he gives in to those ads. I'd expect him to either ignore
it or launch an ad of his own, talking about how he's out right now, meeting the voters. Maybe give a weblink to videos of the previous 18 debates. He shouldn't fold to her negative ads.

3. That's a great point.
I also don't think it will mean much to voters - they've seen plenty of debates, or know they've taken place and chose not to tune in. The idea that debating is somehow interacting with the voters is sort of a Hillary, one-way communication thing.
