There are only 3 Presidential Debates & they start in September....
I just found that out, one is right after the Conventions... does not give the Democratic nominee a lot of time to prepare if this is spread out to Denver.....

But just 3 debates, that's it... the democratic debate had what? 22 at last count?

I was surprised, I thought the American people deserved more than three debates.

1. Obama doesn't need that much time to debate gramps.
Gramps, on the other hand, doesn't have enough daylight left to catch Obama on knowledge of the issues.

9. sorry, but I can't wait to see Obama and McCain debate!!
There's just no contest. It will be a miracle if McCain doesn't have a stroke trying to restrain his temper.

12. me too. can't wait to see the real Obama come out with his
subtle gentlemanly deadly claws.
he's been very very kind to Hillary in this respect.

i want to see his full potential of slaying his opponent.
McCain will burst wide open.

16. I agree, I can't wait to see him wipe the floor with McSame, although..
my evil side wants to see him push enough buttons that McSame goes apeshit crazy on national TV. And Obama just looks at him, then the camera, and says... Is this they type of person we want running our country?

5. It will be a miracle if McCain SURVIVES three debates.
He can barely get through a prepared statement and a couple of softball questions without blowing a fucking gasket now.

8. Well, you know he has standard attacks he uses on Obama now when McCain screws up & can't answer
But are people who don't watch this stuff daily likely to pick up on it?

10. I'm betting they hire anger management trainers...
His people must know the famous temper cannot be unleashed.

I hope that someone has a DU chat like we did during the Kerry debates. I can't miss that!!

18. If he blows his top ...
... he'll blow his chance. I think there's a pretty good chance he'll blow his top.

11. All we really need is the first one.
I predict McCain's head will explode the first time Obama challenges him on his support for the troops and security will have to break out the tranquilizer darts.

Should be interesting watching Lieberman trying to coach him from the audience like a stage mom at an audition. " It's Sunni, not Shia!!! And don't forget to smile! You're a little flat on the first Bomb in Bomb Bomb Iran! "

17. Same amount as last time. The big question is the moderators ...
... there were some pretty insipid questions during the primary debates.

19. If it turns into a debate about flag pins again, Obama needs to walk off the stage.
