Debates will be a game-changer...either way.

Predictions of doom for Obama from the mouth of Todd and others in the MSM are a bit early.

1. Of course. The debates WILL BE FIXED.

Remember that last one with Stupidopholus? I won't even get into that phony Saddleback cone of silence nonsense.

WASHINGTON, Sept 03, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The YWCA, the nation's oldest and largest women's organization, will mark another milestone in its 150 year history by becoming a national sponsor of the upcoming 2008 presidential debates.
The debates are organized by the Commission on Presidential Debates. There will be three debates for the presidential nominees and one for the vice-presidential nominees.

First presidential debate:
Friday, September 26
University of Mississippi, Oxford, MS

Vice presidential debate:
Thursday, October 2
Washington University, St. Louis, MO

Second presidential debate:
Tuesday, October 7
Belmont University, Nashville, TN

Third presidential debate:
Wednesday, October 15
Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY



"With so many critical issues at stake in this election that impact women and their families, the aim of local YWCA's nationwide is to be a resource for voter education and empowerment," said Lorraine Cole, PhD, YWCA USA's CEO. "Next to actually voting, viewing the presidential and vice presidential debates is one of the most important ways for Americans to engage in the election process. By sponsoring these debates, the YWCA will be helping to enlighten Americans as they cast their votes in this landmark election."
The nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) was established in 1987 to ensure that debates, as a permanent part of every general election, provide the best possible information to viewers and listeners. "The CPD is honored to have the support and involvement of the YWCA in the 2008 presidential debates and looks forward to working together on these historic events," said executive director Janet Brown. The CPD sponsored all the presidential debates in 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000 and 2004. For more information, go to http://www.debates.org.

5. But see this

The moderators will include Tom Brokaw. If one thinks that Brokaw will be "fair and balanced", then one is a Faux Snooze lover! :rofl: Ifill is a shill (I have watched her for over 20 years) and Lehrer is a tossup. I always thought that Schieffer was continually screwed out of an anchor's seat, but we'll see whether he's been given the network's marching orders to follow "The Narrative".

2. Obama will have to trounce the old man for the MSM to spin it our way

Then again, he just might.

3. It's already happening

Did you see Meet The press? I had to turn it off. According to the talking head idiots Obama is so far down in the polls he could never win. Fuck those people and that Tom Brokaw is one of the biggest repuke supporters I've ever seen. He makes me sick. :puke:
