What will tomorrows Debate be like?

Will the attacks on Hillary continue?
Will Edwards take on Obama?
Does Edwards think that the key to taking out Obama is to take out Hillary first?
Personally, I think his attacks on Hillary only make Obama stronger.
How will Hillary respond?
Will she be able to?

2. Hillary will attack, Edwards will contrast, Richardson will be asked few questions and will give

answers that go well beyond the time limit, and Obama will play it too safe.

16. Edwards will offer his concrete plans for change against Obama's hope for change and Hillary's

experience within the old model.

4. I think Edwards will appeal to the independents...

I don't think that "the claws" will come out, but he'll try to focus his message on the economy. He's gotta gain some additional support from the NH Independents, otherwise NH's a lost cause.

I don't think anyone will go negative in NH, after McCain's volley at Mittens last night. IMHO

6. Will Our Girl actually use the phrase "Where's the beef?"

I have to think she will at least have it in reserve, in case the right moment comes along.

7. When and where?

Edited on Fri Jan-04-08 05:53 PM by davidwparker

For your third question, I've heard someone make that comment in his take on Edwards' Iowa speech last night. That is, drive a stake through the Clinton campaign.

11. No, dude. The debate. I hadn't heard there was going to be a debate so

soon, so I was asking on what channel will it appear, assuming it is carried live.

9. Without Kucinich in there it will be total whitewash.

The 'top three' can relax knowing that there is no one to call *hit when he hears it. Enjoy your debate but realize that when the Democratic candidates let the MSM tamper with the debate the outcome means nothing. They are all complicate in obstructing an open election. If your opinion differs from mine feel free to peruse the list of Republican candidates they choose to let participate. Open your eyes. This election is more of the same and if you feel that you are having the freedom to chose your guy think again. Wait until the dirty tricks happen to your candidate. Too sad.

10. Edwards wants to make it a 2 person race with Obama.

Edited on Fri Jan-04-08 06:06 PM by Bleachers7

So does he attack Obama now or does he attack Hillary to essentially finish her off? That's the question. My sense is he'll attack both. (Spray and pray)

15. it will be

carefully staged and scripted, with no one saying anything remotely new or interesting. No ideas for REAL change will be expressed.

To call any of the bland, scripted events "debates" is giving them far more credit than they deserve.
