Well, I'll argue with you there. Obama is good with a well-prepared speech
and telepromptor. McCain is good off the cuff. That's why he wanted
townhall and why Obama has fought him tooth and nail to have "give me the
questions in advance" debates.
So, yes, ol' Teflon will have been practicing like made because it is
something he's not good at. He stutters and takes a 10th on left with
questions that he hasn't got a prepared speech to go with.
The Teflon/McNasty debate will probably come off as a tie or might even go
to McNasty.
And yes, Palin "should" blow Biden out of the water. Biden is like watching
paint dry.

Is there anybody on the planet who thinks John McCain has a hope in hell
against Barack Obama this Friday in the debates?? I heard the O-man
has been practicing for weeks, and he's not the one who needs the practice!
He is such a good speaker, there's no way he'll lose.
Will Americans look beyond the polish and the rehearsed answers?
Who will stutter more? Will Ron Paul crash the debates? (I think he
should!)
Will any new ideas actually be revealed, or will it just be more stone
throwing?
Which debate will be more interesting, the presidential candidates or
the vp candidates?
I don't know the answers to the questions, but I'm willing to place a
few bets.
1. Obama will blow McCain out of the water.
2. Palin will blow Biden out of the water. (but it will be closer than
the previous debate)
3. Read my lips, no new ideas, only new rhetoric
4. The neck and neck race will widen...the Dems will pull ahead in the week
after the debate, but then the GOP will catch up after the VP debates. When
all is said and done, it will still be neck and neck.

Well, it's almost a Bridge to Nowhere... :)
