Bush BULGE musta' ruined the usual presidential debate format
Under debate plan, Obama loses height advantage
The Commission on Presidential Debates proposed the less formal, more conversational talk-show format for two of three 90-minute debates it's seeking this fall. The third debate would be a town hall-style session in which the candidates would be free to get up from high stools and walk around the stage.

NASA photo analyst: Bush wore a device during debate
Physicist says imaging techniques prove the president's bulge was not caused by wrinkled clothing.

1. I think the McCain camp really wants to avoid standing debates because it will make McCain look like
a shrimp.

I think Obama did best in the seated debates so I think this format will probably work out fine for him.

2. Nah! It's just a huge clogged-up sweat gland!
Oops! My bad! That bulge was on his back and not atop his shoulders.

5. anyone who judges old....
Johnny McCane on his height disadvantage needs to get the Mental Floss out, the guy is a Lightweight Loser in the Heavyweight Division when it comes to knowledge....just like all of the repukes.

7. All the debates should take place in football stadiums. McCain
folks could fill them and a few Obama supporters might show up too.

:sarcasm:
