McClintock may tear apart A.S. in the debate

I'm becoming more convinced that the average FReeper lives in a dream world. Who in their right mind believes that AS is going to debate McC on his own turf? That is, why would AS even stoop to the level of debating a David Stockman type who clearly has the advantage over specific budgetary information?

Jeez, doesn't anybody here understand politics? AS is going to be playing to the TV audience. He is, after all, an actor (even if he is a poor one at that). His key is leadership and inspiration - the debate will just be a showcase to see (1) where he wants to take the state; and (2) whether a majority of voters wants to go there with him.

If McC doesn't watch it, he may get so frustrated that he might have his own Caine Mutiny moment (Captain Queeg ).

McC's turf, in this statement must be construed rather largely! Usually candidates debate each other to show the voter what they've got to offer. Only on FR and DU (the latter, usually) do you see advocating candidates who will not debate and who just spout platitudes...

LOL - That was funny, re: queeg, but I'm not afraid of Arnold debating. I think that would be most excellent and that Arnold will tear him up. Humble him! Make him look like a traitorous goofball in his first quip. Arnold has never failed and he has no intention of failing at a silly little debate. He will verbally pimp slap 'em all! I can't wait! Watch the ratings! I would love to use all caps, but discipline, don'tcha know, watch the reaction! I'll be here. Gloating can occur then. McX will look like elmer fudd next to Arnie. LOL
