5. How would it LOOK?
A tall, young good looking guy against a shriveled little old man. That's how it would look.

6. Let think about that.....
Obama's youth, vitality, and great optimistic message.

McCain promising 100 years of war in Iraq.

Hmmmmmm..........I don't know?

Go figure.

7. McCain has no plan on Healthcare, Economy, and he loves to war in Iraq
He will be crushed in a Debate with Obama.

Look once McCain's shit is called to the carpet. He's going to look like a disaster of a Candidate.

8. "I look forward to making sensible immigration reform with Sen McCain on which we agree."
Edited on Sat Feb-09-08 08:41 PM by LeviathanCrumbling
That is all he has to say to make whatever nut 3rd party the ultra-conservatives put out (and they will trust me) get about 10% of all voters.

Edited on Sat Feb-09-08 08:41 PM by Hippo_Tron
Or do they have the bullshit format that they typically do.

24. I tend to agree, unfortunately because McCain is the seasoned
politician..and that is what many viewers of a debate will capitalize on..I wish it weren't so..but Obama would have to have more "facts" at hand than he has in past debates...his idealistic "change" is only going to carry him so far

33. Obama will show McCain that the dumb wars are in fact DUMB
There is a new way of doing things when Obama gets into office. It will mean no more wars for regime changes, no more wars because candidates want to look tough (dumb) to the rest of the world on foreign policy, no more interfering in how other nations live. McCain won't know what hit him.

Believe me, after the first debate Obama and McCain have, McCain won't know what hit him. He will be delusional with Obama's "good" common sense, smart foreign policy approach.

Obama - President for the next 8 years.

17. McCain is the perfect example of why we need change
Besides his career in the Navy, all he knows is life in Washington DC. He has no other real world experience.

He will probably demand to stand on a box so he doesn't look so short compared to Obama.

21. Obama upends McCain
Obama has far less baggage so McCain will not be able drape crap over him. All Obama has to do is make the debate about McCain's own record.

There's lots of stuff in it. Obama will win this hands down if he doesn't get ensnared in the pettiness we've already seen. Issues such as voting present are representations of pettiness.

26. McCain the established candidate, Obama the fresh candidate
It may not even matter when the debates come about. Why? Because as Obama wins the primaries and becomes the change candidate it will emphasize the nations determination to bring about real change.

Democrats went to the polls 3 to 1 over Republicans. That would mean that majority of people want change.

There's very little difference between them on the issues.

31. Obama will change the mindset. Warmongers won't have a place
I think he will show McCain the ideas of smart foreign policy as opposed to the dumb foreign policies we've had since... FOREVER.

32. all you'd have to do is provoke McCain the right way
and let his infamous foul mouthed tantrums derail his own campaign.

35. The Positive message sometimes doesn't resonate
Obama is a positive inspiration and I hope that in his presidency, that positive inspiration will be the driving force for change. After 7 years of negativity, it is time for renewed positive aspirations. I like positivity and I think Obama will bring much needed positive mindset.
