Debate III: First Blood Part II

Phil Florian · Post by **Phil Florian** » Wed Oct 15, 2008 4:28 pm

Any predictions for tonight? Does Obama just take it easy and keep the level head or will he come out swinging?

Will McCain finally draw attention to Ayers while in the public spotlight as many predict he will in a last ditch attempt to smear Obama?

So, is Palin's family NOW game since she is putting Trigonometry (his full name, I assume) in the public spotlight to show off her parent of a disabled child cred or is family only fair game when the candidate chooses to do that?

Will sparks FINALLY fly between the candidates this time? Will McCain refer to Obama as "that one" again or some other reference that will raise eyebrows?

Will the podium prevent McCain from wandering aimlessly during the debate?

Will Obama heat it up? Or is professorial the best we can expect?

Will SOMEONE freaking ask these guys a question that haven't spent days preparing for so we can FINALLY see a bit more what makes them different? Will someone ask about something OTHER than the economy?

How about immigration? Foreign relations? Iran? What is the meaning of "victory" and "appeasement?" What they had for breakfast?

What it means to "be a Maverick" and "change you need" or whatever?

C'mon!

Watching Hardball right now a McCain advisor said that Ayers would most likely be talked about. I mean that is what I want to hear tonight, who care about the economy, I wanna hear about Ayers because he is so relevant to mine and my friends lives. :roll:

Ayers is like Henry Kissinger in that neither seems to presently be incarcerated for anything or convicted of much.

I believe that Kissinger is superior to Ayers in having had a hand in bombing more people. He had a hand in the successful bombing of many people.

sorry, couldn't watch much of the debate. Season Finale of Project Runway was on at the same time and I don't have TiVo.

In the end, the choice came down to either watching a poorly done reality show thats just another boorish return to the days of high school popularity contests, where the drama is mostly staged and the outcome is always suspicious... ...and a fashion show. And I chose the fashion show.

OMG I just spit out my coffee. I missed Runway last night. I was watching Myth Busters, then I went to bed. I decided sleep was a much use of my time.

I enjoyed the fashion show. Actual creativity.

If I want to watch a puppet show, I'd prefer "Team America, World Police". :roll:

I thought about not watching the debate but my son really wanted to watch it so I had too.

Does anyone know when John McCain talked about Sarah Palin knowing more about autism than most was he wrongly referring to her son Trig who has Down's Syndrome or was he talking about her nephew who apparently does have autism? I know it's probably not a big deal to most but as a parent of children with autism spectrum disorder I was a bit taken aback and I assumed it was a big gaffe.

I would just like to chime in that I was really impressed with the runway show, on Project Runway not the debacle, I mean debate.

The burning question today is whether Leanne will take some of her winnings and get a decent haircut and a good shampoo.

Who let the cat out?

I still think Kato (I have no idea how to spell her name) got hosed. Did the judges know that she did all her own beadwork?

I could see her stuff doing very well at Lion in Blue.

I've never watched Project Runway. Time for you guys to sell me on why I should.

Becuase your wife just loves the show and she controls the remote?

But I am the wife? My husband, who is anti-tv would never push me to watch anything and of course he doesn't control the remote.

Jeff...

Danielle- I enjoy Project Runway because it's a silly show that showcases a particular creative process, which I find interesting and entertaining. It's pretty fluffy.

I am not a fashionista.

I'm unbelievably far from fashionable but it's fun. Real artists doing their art, what could be better.

They do re-runs all the time on Bravo, just check to see when and if you have a minute.
