John McCain has been making a big deal all summer about Obama not agreeing to his townhall requests. Now their is already pressure for McCain to provide a game changer and he has pre-anounced he is going to be going negative.
Even though this is not a debate on Foreign Policy which is supposed to be his home turf the expectations seem to be raising by the minute for McCain. Also it is suggested that Obama is not a great debater. Maybe true. However, he did win the Democratic primary which included quite a few debates. Secondly, it is official he pretty handily won the first debate. Thirdly, I have been in a room with him before just briefly and he is better in close quarters that most give him credit for. He may not be Bill Clinton working a room, but he is genuine and comforting which in light of the current economic crisis will a big positive.
Then on an odd note. I remember back to more than a year ago watching Chris Mathews when he brought up an interesting point. He was interested in the possible visuals of a McCain - Obama debate physically seeing them interact on the stage. He surmised that Obama's stature, grace and youthfulness would be a very strong asset for him. I don't know what to make of that. It will be something I am looking to.
See you after the debate.
