If the debate ends without
If the debate ends without memorable highlights, its a win for Obama, because he currently has the wind at his sails.
McCain is the one needing to shake things up.
Although it's the safer play for Obama to avoid confrontation, part of me wants to see him confront McCain on the crap the latter has been floating this week--ask McCain straight up if he supports or denounces the slime being peddled by the right-wing media.

Yeah, it would be lousy strategy, but I'd love to see Obama look right at McCain, and say "your running mate says I pal around with terrorists." Wanta endorse or condemn that statement?

I'm wondering how well that $5K makeover will conceal McThuselah's throbbing blue veins if he is asked a pertinent question.

And Barack is no wimp about responding, even interrupting McCain during a smear.
