Well now that we have reports of both sides flying down to Ole Miss.

Should be on CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, MSNBC, CNN and others. Scheduled start is 9 and most will probably have a pre-game analysis starting 30-60 minutes prior. Topic is National Security/foreign policy but expect a heavy dose of economics slipped in.


One site I've found that is streaming it:

McCain is going? Wow, I guess the "Maverick" will show up with his revolver to find that the "Outlaw" will be waiting with a sniper rifle and infrared scope. I.E., McCain is going to lose. very. badly. Can't wait.

My prediction:

Dems will say obama won, Repubs will say Mccain won.

either way, America loses.

CNN will probably stream it on its website. They did for the primaries.

Expectations are a bit higher for Obama than for McCain. If it's a draw where nothing interesting happens that will be a plus for McCain. But yes, both sides will declare total, crushing victory at the end.

Because JPussywillows like yourself think he is pulling a "political stunt" when he was ACTUALLY trying to work. A debate is a joke....this country needs shit fixed more than it needs two politicians bawking at each other over who will get free healthcare.

Isn't that always the case? McCain could have a stroke halfway through and republicans would say that Obama pressured him into doing the debate causing him to be put under undue stress.

Dude.....just wait and watch your Obama FOLD when put on the spot. Your candidate is a joke....accomplishing nothing in the last 7 seven years and trying to now debate with someone who has got shit done his whole life.

He was for suspending the debate before he was against suspending it. In other words, McCain has no clue what his position is on any given issue at any given moment. Merely observing McCain, much like in quantum physics, can change the outcome.

If John McCain had never called for a delay of the debates, would you still be saying that?

Once you get to see obama unscripted you'll see what his real views are. Obama is going to get splattered and look like a fool. What's truly scary is he actually believes the crap coming out of his mouth.

I would have been extremely dissapointed if not one of the two candidates focused on the problem at all. McCain, to me, showed his continued commitment to this country....Obama hasn't done shit...and will continue to do the same.

But he wasn't actually trying to work. By nearly all accounts he came in there and did nothing. He made things worse.

Oh, and Biden's not dropping out. Zero percent chance. I'm not sure where you heard that, but it's ridiculous.

All I hear about is how you left wing nuts think he came in there and did nothing and made things worse. If Chris Matthews says it....it must be true! What a fucking joke! You make me sick.

What the hell did Obama do?

Biden out? http://elections.foxnews.com/2...r-thrives-on-internet/

Obama's not a lawyer, right? I'd love to see them both unscripted. Obama would tell McCain that he "clings to his guns and religion" and McCain would answer "No sht, I'm a Maverick so of course I have a gun. And in the name of God, I'm going to decapitate you."
