Debate Prediction

I said this after the first debate. I still think it's valid today.
"obama will do better next time -- he can hardly do worse -- and then his media puppets will proclaim that obama is back, obama won, obama has momentum, ad nauseam..."
I also think it's no secret that tonight's moderator, Candy Crowley, leans to the left. However, I expect her to be very subtle in how she exercises her bias. For example, the greatest favor she can do obama is to strictly enforce the time limit for his answers. The more time he has to ramble, the more he exposes his numerous shortcomings. By cutting him off she will appear to be doing her job impartially, while at the same time improving his performance.

Neat trick, if she can pull it off...

  3. Could have been better, could have been worse. The only poll that matters takes place on Nov. 6.
