Can you imagine a live debate between Obama and McCain?

[Thickasabrick]

All this backlash crap is bullshit. When this thing gets going and they have to debate each other - oh baby - it's going to be a thing of beauty (McCain drooling won't be pretty), but it will be something to see and people will really see why he is so much like JFK. McCain will probably be sweating as bad as Nixon did.

1. i can't wait for that

[baldguy]

2. A brilliant, young, energetic orator against a doddering old fool.

McCain will be a sad spectacle.

[undeterred]

3. Kerry and Bush was pretty ridiculous

but remember how stupid the American public is. They love a dumb drunk.

[margotb822]

4. Especially with the earpiece

No cameras behind the Repub candidates! Rove will be feeding answers into their ears!

[Newsjock]

6. Or, more accurately ...

The media tells the American people that they're supposed to love a dumb drunk. And they fall for it.

19. I doubt it will be as extreme a mismatch as Kerry/Bush - though I do think Obama will win

McCain is far more competent than Bush was and Obama,for all his eloquence, is not as proficient at debates as Kerry is - Obama is not as agile a debater as Kerry and he doesn't have Kerry's depth of knowledge on a wide range of issues. (For instance - Obama did not point out that the entire SFRC held hearings on Afghanistan - and that has been the norm. They were not held in the Europe committee under earlier heads either - this would have scored him a point and made HRC look silly - not the other way around.)

There are many Sunday talk shows where McCain has easily defeated the Democrat paired with him. The errors McCain made this week are unbelievable - but I wouldn't count on them to be the norm in the debates. In the primary debates, McCain was anywhere near the incompetent Bush.

5. Here's a taste of how Obama debates repugs

And this was a very good at BSing repug:

8. Oh my God - I'm watching the Iraq Keyes debate right now - this

is awesome - thank you!!!! Keyes: "we have made no real errors", lol....you are right - same stuff is going on today.

[ecstatic]

17. Obama is going to mop the floor with McCain

McCain's best chance will be if he can somehow hide a chip in his ear while Lieberman feeds him the answers.

[madrchsod]

7. actually i really would`t want to see that

to think the republicans picked a candidate that is bordering on senility is a shame. it`s like watching your grandfather or father slowly sinking into senility....

[C_U_L8R]

9. Moderator: Senator McCain... boxers or briefs?

McCain: Depends

[rurallib]

18. I believe that discourse will actually happen

are you sykic?
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[TheCowsCameHome]

10. My friends, it would be a treat to watch Obama dismantle Gramps, my friends.

[Al Cleveland]

11. Obama needs to not under estimate McCain

While he may look like and old foggy to many, remember a lot of old fogies vote. Besides he was the first choice for the VP slot by Kerry. This country has enough fools in it to re-elect BUSH.

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. Lizards don't sweat

[blues90]

13. that's right , make fun of age now , that will help

Do you have some sort of anti- aging formula , if not and you live long enough you to will be an old shit . An old and in the way POS .

Assuming you are an Obama supporter is this the mentality you are going to bring into the world ?

[C_U_L8R]

15. Just because I'm an old fart

doesn't mean I want an old fart for President

[FloridaJudy]

27. I'm a geezer

And I'm more than willing to pass the torch. This damned thing's getting heavy, and the smoke is fogging my bifocals.

[varelse]

14. A "live" debate with McCain?

Is that still possible? :P

[Nitrogenica]

16. Obama will dismantle McCain in a big way.

There will be no need for "Spin Alley" in our camp.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. I CAN imagine it, and it looks great to me!

I think Obama would wipe the floor with McCain...

I also think that Obama is smart enough to make McCain very angry...

And when he loses it......then the whole world would see how dangerous a President he would be!

I cannot wait.

:evilgrin:

[DainBramaged]

21. Think Gramps could stay awake???

[greyghost]

22. Think Gramps will still be breathing in November?

[tridim]

23. I'm still predicting the network will have to fade to black once or twice

When McLame throws his fits. I bet he swears on-air too.

[SeattleGirl]

24. That will be some kinda kik-ass fu!

:bounce: :bounce:

[johnnydrama]

25. the question for McCain is

How big a lectern does he need to fit Joe Lieberman in?

[orleans]

26. can you imagine a square piece of equipment hidden underneath

mcidiot's suitcoat just like w had?

what a coininkeydink

[upi402]

28. there will be only one debate

and at 2AM Monday morning. And on C-SPAN 3 too.

(am I cynical or what?)

[FrenchieCat]

29. They'll have to make the debates all "sit downs"....or less Obama wil tower

over lil' McLame.

[Norrin Radd]

30. McCain might as well get a firm, preemptive grip on his own ass

as it will surely and swiftly be handed to him.

[DCKit]

31. How can you have a "live" debate when only one of the participants is clinically...

alive?

[Perry Logan]

32. "McCain clutches heart, collapses..."

[nookiemonster]

33. Heh!

Just wait for McCain to lose his temper and drop multiple F-bombs!! LOL

It would be great!

:evilgrin:
