1. Not as much as "you know".

25. I wondered if I was the only one...
who picked up on that annoying habit of hers to preface most of her sentences with "you know."

Grrr. It drives me nuts.

2. Why "tonight"?
Does this evening have some special significance?

If it does, please excuse my ignorance. I have been a bit out of any loop but my own of late.

7. Oh, she'll use it. It's all she has left. She has nothing positive to say about herself, only negati
ve things about Obama. Very telling of who she is as a person.

12. Agreed, but the conversation is turning
on how people are viewing her. I think she knows she overplayed her hand.. But, you may be right..

10. She might avoid "bitter."
But will she go for "elitist" and "out of touch"? And will she talk about her hunting experiences?

11. Since Obama's numbers haven't dropped since
she started highlighting this and running her TV spot, I'm guessing she won't use it more than 3 times.

She's got to "get it out there" in case there are viewers who missed it and might be receptive to that approach, but since this "gate" didn't garner the results she'd hoped for, will not beat it to death.

15. I also think it's a tough one for her to get out there, because it takes a little explaining
and so far she has a very hard time being succinct about anything.

16. She will be like "Mr. Subliminal" on SNL
Good Evening ladies and Gentlemen (Obama says you're bitter hicks). I am so proud to be here on the same stage with Senator Obama (Obama says you're bitter hicks)It is such an honor. I was telling Bill(hero of the 90's) just before the program, how lucky we are to be able to live in the United States, in a country where a person of African decent(Obama says you're bitter hicks)and a woman can run for President (Hillary will save the free world) I thank you for allowing me (Hillary will save the free world) this opportunity.

17. I'm gonna drink every time she does
It's the PA Debate Drinking Game! A shot and a beer for every time she says "bitter". A Yuengling for every time Obama says "misspoke".

18. Make sure it's that blue collar brand, Crown Royal! And use the little
velvet bag to barf in. :puke:

19. Twice

There will be a few claps, but more booing.

Obama will use that as a launching pad to show that he understands small town America better than she does. The audience will respond with thunderous applause.

She will try it again in her response. The boos will be voluminous.

Her diehard supporters will view her response as extremely witty and cutting. Anyone else with a heart will feel uncomfortably embarassed for her because, well, they won't be all that witty and cutting.

It will be like watching a train wreck. Again.

21. How far into it will we get before she drops a lame bomb.
Xerox, SNL, denounce and reject? It could be a bitter comment, but she never fails to depress.

24. Where Do Catty, Snarky, Bitchy Predictions Go?
I mean, the day after they don't happen? Just wondering.

Don't worry, peeps. We'll have endless new, pointless stuff to argue about tomorrow.

27. Until she understands the crowd is booing her. Could be
many times, since she's apparently tone deaf.

28. Could be pretty quick.
Frame by frame analysis of the last debate reveals exactly when she knew her campaign was in the shitter, just the mildest of flinches as she hears the boos.

It's like that Simpson's episode where Lisa dumps Ralph on live TV at the award show.

29. If she learned her lesson about being booed the other night for saying it, none.
But given her track record as a liar who keep lying even after being caught in lies several times, I have to go with the last option.
