Pre-Debate Thoughts

Watching these debates has been nerve-racking for me. I can barely stand to actually sit and watch them. But here I'll be, in the computer lab, trying to stream the video (if we don't have customers in the lab). It is, as many have said, McCain's last chance to change the story, but unless he reveals that he has just returned from the mountains of Tora Bora, and personally drags Osama bin Laden onto the stage in handcuffs, I'm not sure what he can do to change perceptions 20 days out.

Obama has to stay calm, having no idea if he's going to be debating the McCain that Palin wants to see, or the McCain that Bloomberg wants to see (though I think I know which one will be more persuasive to undecided voters). Fortunately, he's good at remaining calm.

And I have to say, after reading this, I'm glad I had posted this. Now let's hope it turns out to be a brilliant trap that McCain will walk right into.

I'll try to post about the debate afterwards.

And let's not forget, my Fightin' Phils are one game away from the World Series...
