Seeking to Lower Debate Expectations, McCain Praises Obama's 'Eloquence' | The Trail | washingtonpost.com

Quote:
For more than a week, his senior advisers have been traveling with him on the campaign plane, and parts of the afternoons have been set aside for debate practice.

McCain aides have steadfastly refused to say whether they have chosen a stand-in for Obama for the practice sessions.
That's easy. Is there a black guy on the plane?

A friend asked the other day, how hard would it be for Obama to get McCain flustered enough to pop out the "n" word? I don't imagine it would happen, but it would be an epic moment in tv history, like watching a President get shot.

Don't talk like this - you're getting my hopes up.

I think McCain is far above that..but the thought has crossed my mind as well as he has a pretty bad temper.

Since it is going to be on foreign policy Obama has been working with Jimmy Carter on how to appease our enemies who want to kill us.

Obama has 3,000 advisers talking in his ear all day long, what does that tell you?

Probably would I believe.

Where is Obama going to fine a hero like McCain, since he has no friends in the military either to stand in for him.

That after the debate he wants to dance on McCain's grave after he buries him? I mean, really, what does McCain have to bring to the table? What is he going to say. We should continue to fight a war against a country that didn't blow up our buildings and the he sings a couple of bars of "Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran"?

Going back to this issue? Wow.

Sorry to tell you this but McCain wants out of Iraq the same as you and I and will be the one to get the job done.

Now, speaking of wars, Obama wants to fight with Pakistan and Afghanistan at the same time. So now what do you say?

Obama will probably need meds after this debate. If you have not noticed on most major issues McCain has been dead right on and Obama dead wrong on, a few days later Obama flip flops to say the same thing McCain said.

Obama needs to listen so he can learn.

I think all it would take is for the camera to catch him mouthing the "n" word through his clenched teeth ....
