Tomorrow's Debate: Which Hillary will dominate?
Will we get the nice Hill or pitbull Hill? Probably both. Will she try a snarky joke a la change you can xerox? Will she attack him on bitter gate? Will she get booed?

I see this debate as a great opportunity for Barack.

31. Yeah, that's a definet.
Too bad, too, 'cause it was all about getting busted on the Bosnian Sniper LIE.

4. She'll be the nasty, angry, on the attack Hillary this time
Bittergate hasnt done the kind of damage her and the MSM were hoping for, so she has nothing to lose by trying to damage Obama in the debate, and nothing to gain by being the nice Hillary she was at the end of the Texas debate.

8. actually, she does has something to lose
she really can't afford to make herself even more unlikable. People just don't vote for people they don't like.

6. Any time Obama gets in front of an audience he has the advantage.
Debates are his weakest point, but he still comes off great. This is a national opportunity for him to explain his position.

As for the actual purpose of your OP, I think we'll get a mixed bag out of Hillary. Expect some snarky swipes since this is her last shot to get some jabs in.

7. I can almost hear the boos now when she goes on and on about "bittergate".
She's tone-deaf on this issue. They're beating this like a dead horse and it's not working.

She can't stand the fact that nothing is sticking to Obama.

10. She's a loose canon and could very well blow
I am sort of tired of all the debates and really don't feel like watching. However, I would kick myself if Hillary freaked out or got boo'd and either one of those things has a 50/50 chance of happening.

39. that's why I'm watchin'!
:popcorn:

Personally, I'd like to see the Annie Oakley HRC, and she can bring her beer and a shot with her too if she'd like to.

I like watching Obama laugh. He cheers me right up. :)

if she does that fawning, syrupy "I'm so HONORED to be here on stage debating with Barack..." crap, I'll shoot my TV. :puke:

12. A better question..what snarky joke will Hillary tell that will get jeers from the audience?

"Change you can Xerox" bombed badly.

"Get Barack a Pillow" didn't work.


What's next?

18. I hope both of them will do well, and that the debate stays on policy issues like education
Education is a topic that has not been given its proper time in the spotlight.

19. Agreed. I think Barack will rock tomorrow.
I'd be really surprised if Hillary even utters the word "bitter"...then again, I'd like to see what happened if she did.

I think we'll see desperado Hillary tomorrow. :nuke:

20. Barack is going to win this one, hands down. Hillary will cackle.
She is going to try to smear him. This will be the down and dirty Hillary - in other words, the real thing.

37. It might be interesting to play "Cackle Bingo"
If the 'debate' lasts 90 minutes, I'm betting she tries to laugh off (with her awful forced laugh) the bullet holes in her foot at least three times, depending on how she's pressed and the format of the 'debate.'

22. Remember how the last couple of debates she would not
let Health Care go, no matter how hard the mods tried to move on?

I'm thinking same thing here with "Bitter"

23. I'm expecting some kind of 'How DARE you' moment myself.
She knows she's gotta land a haymaker. I predict she'll get all huffy about something and try to 'Lazio' Obama.

I also predict that it'll work about as well as every other failed campaign tactic she's tried so far.

Ultimate last-ditch desperation move: tears.

34. Yeah, might as well expect the worst
and be nicely surprised if it doesn't happen.

I think Obama will be prepared for just about anything from hilary being the quick learner he is and all that's happened so far in this campaign.

Wonder if she'll bring up the response ad that she led into?

24. If I were in her shoes
I'd take the high road and not dig up the bitter thing.

I'd focus on issues; jobs the war and the current and future economy. All topics that are big with PA voters and ones polling says she's done well there on.

Keep it positive and focus on the needs of the people rather than attacking Obama.

While I believe this would be the best way for her to gain votes in PA I don't know that this is the path she's going to be taking. I expect there will be negative barbs shot out over the bitter thing and I suspect that Obama will use the opportunity to even better explain himself to the voters.

28. I wonder if she'll say (3X) how "honored" she is, really honored, to share the stage
with Obama, like she did in their last debate - the day before her "Shame on you!" pseudo-tirade.

I put my money on Hillary crying about gun rights or something like that.

38. I think she'll be as nice as she can be just like the last two times,
and the next day try to take a shit on him like with the flier-gate "Shame on you" and then that other attack after the first debate - I forget that attack, though as there have been so many.....


She just can't keep up with him. He outclasses her in every way possible.
