Early? Yeah, well-someone was getting impatient. So to bid the time before the debate, let's here everyone's predictions?
McCain wets himself?
Obama wets himself?
McCain tries to land in the debate on a fighter jet with "Election Accomplished?"
What's your predictions?
Poll to follow...

An interesting article on CNN, the question of whether Obama's comments in the last few days, stating that McCain won't talk about Ayers "to his face" may be manipulating McCain into political rope-a-dope (http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/10/15/martin-obama-is-setting-up-mccain-for-the-political-rope-a-dope/), getting him to blow his top in the hour at a time where even the slightest misstep could be fatal for his presidential ambitions.

This will be a long road for something probably not worth it, so fair warning.
I used to be a writer/performer for a starship simulation group where players would sit in a box and operate various stations of a starship bridge and we'd sit on the outside controlling the 'universe' and playing villians (part of my job)...one hitch, we only had one monitor for the overall 'game' that also served as our monitor to the 'bridge', so when I was talking smack we would lose some vital information. That hadn't been a problem until one day I was talking smack while they were trying to get us to surrender, I said, "I've been in worse shape than this before!!!" They looked a little stunned and said, "No, I don't think you have..." We switched monitors and realized that while I was talking smack they had destroyed my ship. (we flipped back on and I put my finger up and then did a prat fall...)
McCain reminds me of this moment.

Yes she would be more likely. But McCain seems like automatic war with Russia & Iran as well. Not just in his attitude and lack of forthought, but how he won't look at Obama. Obama is a fellow senator. How would he act at a world summit? When you go to a world summit meeting you have to look at those people when your talking to them and they are talking to you. If you don't they can get extremly pissed.
I can't take it anymore. I've decided to watch U.S. vs. Trinidad and Tobago in World Cup Qualifiers, since there really sin't anything that could get me to vote republican at this point.
