Here's my fearless (and somewhat tounge in cheek) forecast for tonight's debate.

[MarianJack]

If paul ryan pisses himslf on stage, then right wing media will praise him for water purification and his commitment to the environment.

If paul ryan craps his pants on stage, then right wing media will commend him for saving on toilet paper and again praise his desire to protect the environment.

If paul ryan lies his ass off (ooops, I mean when paul ryan lies his ass off), then right wing media will be out in force saying that he spoke gospel truth.

If Joe Biden clears his throat, then right wing media will start screaming "GAFFE", declare that willard has just won the election AND...liberal media (and many panic addicted DUers)will agree and hurry to jump off the bandwagon and complain that President Obama wasn't primaried. It'll be worse if he clears his throat twice.

I may be exaggerating, but not by much. That's my 2 cents, and quite possibly overpriced at that!

PEACE!

1. Agreed. We can learn a lot from Republicans...

We need to put this 'I'm only being honest' bullshit behind us. Everyone needs to have a positive mindset coming out of the debates to help shape the narrative that Biden won.

I want to see headlines like...

JOE KILLED IT

RYAN WASN'T EVEN IN THE SAME LEAGUE AS BIDEN

BIDEN KICKED LYIN' RYAN'S ASS

And I'll concede I wasn't exactly optimistic after the debate ... but much of that was driven by what I heard from the MSM. Not this time.

Doom and gloom ain't going to do anything to help us. I think Joe will do very well tonight ... but even if he doesn't dropkick Ryan to the head, that doesn't mean I'm going to freak out and panic.

Joe's got this.

[MarianJack]

2. "Joe's got this"

I agree. I don't see ANYTHING to be gained by us agreeing with the pre=ordained rightist declaraion of a ryan victory. The stakes in this election are too damn high.

willard, not rick perry, is really bush without the brains.

PEACE!

3. Republicans will ALWAYS say that their side won no matter what.

They play the political game better IMO.

[MarianJack]

4. It's like Yankees vs RedSox

Dep in their hearts of hearts, when they play each other, the Yankees EXPECT to win and the Red Sox EXPECT to lose. Many Democrats expect to lose and have become rather tame poodles to the republicans' pitbulls.

As a Democrat and a New Englander, that statement hurts the hell out of me!

PEACE!
