What does each candidate need to do tonight?  How important will it be if one of the candidates loses?  Is McCain more likely to blow it tonight or reconnect with voters?  How about Obama?



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Depends on the town hall questions the moderator has chosen really.  It's sad there aren't any "real" town hall debates where people are chosen at random to ask questions.

Probably too afraid of plants and dumb questions being asked... but hey... Americans want answers to the dumb questions too.

How this debate goes will be shaped by the moderator.... which is really how most debates go now a days... which is kinda sad.

Either way, I don't think there was ever a point where McCain would of won the elections (despite the slight poll lead he had at one point.)

So i think it's more he needs to connect then reconnect.

The only people he's been really connected too is oldschool conservatives and libretarians... kinda... though not really because he supports Fiza and stuff like that. (Though with Obama voting for Fiza it's not like Obama has that locked down.)

 



chat room?



I will have to do some homework during the debate, but I'll post on here.

Bush will be mentioned in every single Obama response.



McCain has such a hard on for town hall meetings. Understandably so, but it is just funny. Good that he is hitting on energy, its a good point for him, but probably not as strong as it was a few weeks or months ago.

I'd almost rather go second, so I can get more time to come up with my answer, and to rebut/bash the first guy.



Both had a pretty good response, McCain's seemed slightly better.
