Are the Candidates more likely to have a Civil Debate or an Attack Debate?

Which are you more interested in - The Attacks or the Issues.

Please Be civil, no personal attacks, flaming, or insults.

Easy answer: Obama will be civil. McCain needs to attack.

[Fishy]

im more interested in the real issues but i suspect mccain will take as many pot shots as possible

McCain already has a reputation as a hothead to disprove. The classier Obama looks, the worse McCain appears, and he will attack Obama all night.

Depends on who goes first but Mccain will attack first. Obviously policies will differ but Mccain will go for the jugular early and look like an ass.....well more of one. Obama will still stammer and stutter his way through it but will end up the winner because he speaks more about the issues than Senator Senility.

Obama: Civil
McCain: Attack

At least initially McCain will come out swinging, and his aggresive posturing will be a diversion tactic.

I would imagine that we will see less smirking and smiling from McCain tonight. I also predict that McCain's eye contact will be improve a bit.

I don't expect McCain to wink tonight. McCain is old, not pretty, and has a lousy figure, so winking will get him nowhere.

I don't know how much McCain's really going to be able to attack, considering the town-hall format. Unless he pulls a Palin and just does whatever he wants to do.

I think McCain will attack. Obama will be civil but will certainly get his points across.

I'm interested in the issues, not pointing fingers, on BOTH sides. This is a townhall meeting type of debate, if they're both smart, they'll keep it civil. The people in the audience w/this type of debate don't want to see mudslinging, they want answers.
