Pre-Game Show
An astute observer of the political scene asked for my gut feeling(s) on the upcoming debate:
McCain will try to swash buckle through on bluster and what little substance he’s been force fed. The bar is low, so he may appear surprisingly competent.
Obama (forgive me, please) has to channel Hillary’s tenacity.
They are both running on fumes and schedule tumult, but Presidents have to do that.
Part of it depends on whether Lehrer forces them to answer on point.
If that happens, O wipes the floor with Mac.
The more latitude Lehrer gives them, the better chance Mac has.
My gut thinks Mac will pull a very ugly rabbit out of a very ugly hat.
I hope I’m wrong.
