Perhaps planning ahead, to get so blitzed by the time the debate starts, the party will be resting peacefully on a pillow dreaming of ...?

[NoGrayZone]

Psalm 23
A psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,

3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.

4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, [a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.

Yesterday, on another thread, I said I expect whoever is “moderating” this “debate” will cover for obama when he starts doing his uh’s and umm’s. They’ll do their best not to let him falter even if they have to give him clues.

Earphone bump to catch up.

I noticed that in Obama’s presser today, he is going for the gray look.. gonna wash that gray back into his hair (when he wants to look serious)... gonna wash that gray back out of his hair (when he wants to look young)...

I predict, based on hair color, we will see ‘experienced’ Obama tonight instead of ‘youth’ Obama.

When your all tired of the uhhs, and ummms, just play this. It’s the music from Rudy that Sara uses. If that doesn’t get you motivated....nothing will. True story, great movie.

I just ran to the market and bought a bottle of Merlot. I am getting ready.

There is always a closing statement in the debate and McCain can use it to destroy Obama. McCain needs to show that Obama is a defeatist and traitor.

I have 3 friends coming over, there is a copious amount of chilled liquified hops and barley in the fridge and numerous bags of cheese popcorn..

This is gonna be good...:)

I’m hoping Obama says “change” 300 times tonight.

[GOP Poet]

Ohhhhhh-hhhhhh. What a sweetie. I just want to scrub the lil’ belly :-).

Seems a bit early, but at the rate things are going I’ll probably lose my internet connection.

So I’ll post the pre-debate Intrade snapshot now. Then I’ll put up the post-debate Intrade snapshot later and compare the two, see what Intrade has to say about the winner.

I’m confused as to whether Fox is showing it or not. I did hear on Brit Hume that Obama’s campaign sent out a text message to their supporters to only watch it on CNN!

[NoGrayZone]

I just opened my bottle. Figure I’d better start before it does.

[W-Girl]

I heard Rush today and I want to know why OBAMA BLOWING UP THAT MEETING LAST NIGHT ...isn’t all over the Internet ??

WHY IS McCain getting all the bad press ???

WHY WHY WHY ???

[maggief]
