Pre-debate strategy

What are your thoughts on what the candidates should be talking about tonight? Should Obama be more aggressive towards Hillary, what about Edwards. Should he go after Obama or Hillary?

Or perhaps this will be another "we are all friends" debates where most the candidates agree with each other. That would help Hillary keep her lead.

2. For some strange reason, I think tonights debate is going to be different from the others.

It will be interesting to see if there is any attacks made, will they help or hurt the attacker.

5. I think the biggest mistake

observers here make is thinking that policy positions are what's most important in these debates. I think that's not the case.

I think people respond far more favorably to projections of intelligence, competence and yes, toughness, than they do to particular positions.

The fact is, the candidates agree on 90% of the policy issues. The average voter responds more to the personality.
