2008 Presidential Debate Round 3: The final showdown - Page 2

They should have Prof. Ayers waiting in the wings as a surprise guest. When McCain mentions him, he comes on stage and sits down at the table. Then we would have a civilized debate about what Terrorism really is and how people can change.
You know, in Germany our last secretary for foreign affairs was a radical ex-commune stone throwing, cop hater who took his first oath of office in sneakers and called the president of the parliament an asshole. He now is a partner in Madeline Albright's advising firm and teaches international law as a professor.

Please don't tell any other Americans any of that. We're all cool here but that kind of things scares the... err... low information voters.

Are we drinking tonight?

I don't want to be THAT loud, angry drunk that everyone is giving the side eye to all night.

So I guess I should not mention that our last secretary of domestic affairs was the defender of RAF terrorists before he became a politician?

I used to hang out and protest with people like that (never got to actually throw a stone), but that's a bit different than bombing stuff. Even Molotov cocktails seem tamed compared to that.

On the other hand, we do have a Senator who was a KKK member and nobody seems bothered by it.

Any takers on if they'll actually address the issues vs. side stepping the questions and going off on rhetoric?

McCain will say or do something racially insensitive, and people will fall all over themselves to point out that it doesn't mean he's racist.

McCain will answer a question on his economic plan without mentioning "trickle down" or "supply side", despite the fact that that's EXACTLY what his plan is.

McCain will also not utter the word "Palin".

McCain will exhibit some amateurish tick (like 'my friends', or pacing constantly) that shows he's too 'mavericky' for things like debate lessons.

Obama will clean McCain's clock on both the issues and debating skills, and the press will loudly declare the debate a 'draw'.

Wouldn't it be funny if a big Rove head suddenly appeared on a monitor like Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder and did the "Apple bottom jeans" dance all over the debate?

I'd rather enjoy one of these debates with Jamie Farr, Jaye P Morgan and Soupy Sales off to the side with a gong behind them.

I wonder if we will be able to see what McCain has on his side of the desk. If he writes like mad again. I hated it when the lectern was built in such a way, that the cameras couldn't view Palin reading her script at the VC debate.

I think Obama is equally comfortable in both casual conversation level discussion and rally level podium stumping. I get the impression McCain is really the most at ease(relatively speaking) when stumping to a larger audience.

Can't say just how tonight will play out, but I imagine he'll be a bit on rough terrain because of the more intimate format.

Wait, so it's now a given that McCain is such a shitty communicator that he can't avoid mistakes a community college course could fix?

Besides, unless you're looking exclusively for crazy jokes, nothing besides the obvious is going to happen.

A fist fight to determine our President would work just as well as this complicated election doohickey.

Actually, a steel cage match for the top office in '04 would've produced a superior result to that sissy 'voting' stuff.

I, too, think this would be the best way to decide a tie between the candidates.

Let's say a big, dry nasty bugger fell out of Obama's nose and landed loudly with a big *clonk* on his paper in front of him.

Would that cause him to lose the election?

(It happened to me during a job interview once, so it's not totally improbable)

Ironically, an unexpected yet tasteful fart could actually help either one with the joe six-pack demographic.
