Debate Prediction

Is this debate happening or not? At any rate:

I was asked earlier today if I intend to watch the debate. I don't see any particular reason to tune in.

Here's what will happen:

1. BHO will give general, firm sounding answers and take credit for things he did not do. He will double back on things he's said before. He will not be called out for the flip flops.

2. McCain will be much more specific - giving firm answers, and look more in charge. He will be called out on any apparent or media created contradiction.

We've seen this before all year. Clinton cleaned Obama's clock over and over again. The media ignored it and continued to kiss BHO's ass.

After Friday's debate, regardless of what happens during the debate, (even if BHO vomits on the first row of the audience) the majority of media will refer to McCain as "old" and "trigger happy" and Obama as "Presidential"

If I am wrong about this prediction, I'll find out soon enough via Youtube or elsewhere. If something changes the dynamic of the race it will be quickly apparent. If McCain dodders or Obama has a severe arrogance slip I might regret not watching. But I'll see the "moment" over and over again regardless.

It's like watching gymnastics at the Olympics. Let's face it: the main reason to look is to see if someone is going to screw up.

I almost never watch these "debates". I don't see any reason to start now.
