McCain is the greatest debater since Rome's Cicero.

[Unsane]

In fact, Mr. McCain is a "master debater."

Btw is the first debate stand up or sit down?

1. Basically, if McCain can't blow Obama away in this foreign policy debate,

then McCain has failed...

After all, he has said non-stop that he has the experience, and Obama was just a community organizer...

Obviously, this is sarcasm...

But, I gotta say, I hope it is standup - McCain is like 5'7" and Obama is 6'1" or so...it would be quite a contrast...

2. He's even greater

than Cicero. You have to take into account that when the two of them debated, McCain was a young man. He has matured since then.

3. lol

4. No one can touch McCain in a debate. He IS the Master Orator.

5. Absofuckinglutely.

I've heard him. His oratory is riveting. Did you know he was a POW?

[Blondiegrrl]

6. If he were more diplomatic, would that make him a master abater?

7. Cicero's death, according to Plutarch

Finally, Cicero's death excites our pity; for an old man to be miserably carried up and down by his servants, flying and hiding himself from that death which was, in the course of nature, so near at hand; and yet at last to be murdered.

9. McCain taught Demosthenes all he knew about oratory - here's pic of McCain mesmerizing a crowd

11. So that's why McCain sounds like he has pebbles in his mouth!

:D

10. That's because Latin was his first language.

[Raine]

12. He's TERRIFIC

a guy whose been in the senate for a couple of decades vs. a newbie in for 4 years, he'll wipe the floor with Obama. Obama is competely the underdog in this one. :yoiks:

13. Ceiling Cat can see McCrap masterdebating!!

[stillcool]

14. they say he's a natural...

very comfortable in that setting, and a superb debater. I'm sure ABC is going to ask some really tough questions about flag pins, lipstick, and what not.

15. Cicero got his head cut off

McCain's is rotting off from cancer as we watch.
