Okay all?? What do you think the up coming Debate
will be like?

Will Hillary go for broke (as she has appeared to be doing the last few days), or reign it in so she does not reinforce her stereo type as a dragon queen to some??

I expect Barack to perform as laid back and cool under assault since that has been M O for the most part.

Hillary = shrill??

Barack = cool and collected.

Place your bets people as the wheel spins.

:popcorn:

1. Obama will win hands down. Hillary should not even bother; she'll come across as
chiding and desperate like she did last time over the whole "denounce" vs. "reject" argument. She really just doesn't handle the debate format nearly as well as she does her own events.

2. In the words of William Daniels' John Adams:
"Oh, good God."

4. HRC has become so erratic and unpredictable, who knows?
Obama will be statesmanlike and dignified, as always.

5. She is going to try to break his legs - she has too
And she is desperate; she's gonna throw the whole kitchen at him not just the sink.

11. I agree she has to go for the fences at this point.
my dad always taught me to meet the ball with the bat where it was pitched the long balls will come.

Hillary has no choice but to swing for a dinger, so I agree with you she will be as dirty and as nasty as she thinks she can get away with.

The Clinton's always fight dirty if they have to (hell they fight kinda dirty even if they no they have it in the bag) especially if they have their backs against the wall.

One thing for sure it should be entreating.

I will not be formal and polite like one their earlier debates.
:nuke:

That is how Hillary most likely will play it.

13. We can only hope...
...that she'll get her hand caught in the garbage disposal.

6. Clinton executed her "bomb" prematurely to tamp down BC's resurrection of the Bosnia Lie.
Now Obama has all week and the debate to riff off it in that spectacular way he has with attempted knee-cappings like this.

7. I really, really...
...hope that Obama brings up sniper fire.

Wouldn't it be great if he went "Colbert" on her and treated her like a joke?

In his opening remarks he could say, "I'm glad to be here tonight, and I'm glad to see
that Hillary managed to make it here, despite the corkscrew landing her private plane was
forced to make in a Scranton Denny's this evening."

I wish he would treat the debate like a joke--and totally make fun of her continued
farcical campaign.

8. Hillary will panic and say something stupid - again.
Opening will be cordial,
then she'll panic when a question she doesn't like comes up from the moderator,
then Obama will follow up by giving her a punch on one of the numerous gaffes of hers lately,
she will reel and go into panic mode plan A - everyone's picking one me.
Crowd will murmur unapprovingly,
she'll get louder and say something stupid #3
moderator will direct next question to Obama
Obama will find a way to give Hillary another punch (there are So MANY to choose from, you can work it in on almost any issue or subject that could possibly come up)
Hillary will interrupt and start yelling again
Obama will look calm
write some notes leisurely
moderator will try to take back control of the debate
debate over
crowd cheers
hillary will claim it was a standing o for her only.

10. Hillary will attempt to look hip and in touch with modern society.
Then get booed for her poorly delivered "Snakes on a Plane" joke.

17. Hillary will come out swinging. It's a sign of her campaign's desperation.
Obama will deflect her blows with his political judo. Hillary is only harming herself at this stage. Her campaign is finished. Hillary has made a lot of enemies, not just among Obama and his supporters but Richardson as well. They are the rising stars of the Democratic Party. Clinton & Co. is the burnt out dwarf star ready to go supernova.
