Will John McInsane Have A "Howard Beale" Moment At Friday's Debate?
He has been building up to it his entire life...

I wouldn't be surprised if the television stations have to cut away...


Stay tuned...

1. No. He won't.
I am just hoping that Obama remains himself and does not try to sound "decisive" (whatever that means) after his debate performance is pilloried for being too thoughtful as evidenced by the Media reaction to the Saddleback forum.

2. I think he will make several major blunders.
He really doesn'tknow that many details about foreign policy.

He constantly gets names and countries wrong.

It's more than his old age. It's the fact that he really doesn't know the topic that well.

8. That weird innapropriate smile
He'll use his favorite tactic of sarcasm and insults (a refuge for the less knowlegeable) and right after his insult he'll smile that creepy, inappropriate smile.

6. Oh, don't we all wish!
That would be a thing of beauty!

I'd love to see him go so haywire that he pisses himself while shouting in a red-faced, wild-eyed hissy fit as venue security shepherds him from the stage leaving a stunned silent room...

Cut to Obama, a look of genuine concern and compassion on his face as the fading sounds of McCain's inevitable meltdown become more distant.

9. Tornadoes have speed.
Didn't you mean the white tumblebush?

Those are all dried out and brittle.
