2. She's probably going to go overboard with the "bitter" comments.

Obama will laugh it off and make her look extremely petty.

5. She's already been broken.

She just won't admit it to herself.

7. I think it's going to be another one of her trying for the slam dunk and

coming up with the light that reads:

FAIL

8. I think she's going to say something about Obama being an elitist.

And Obama is going to swat it down and make her look like a fool.

9. To tell the truth, I would think by now she has gotten the feedback on

the failed "elitist" meme and will probably not go there. I think she will be sort of flippant and cavalier. She really has nothing to lose, she's already lost. She wants to make Barack uncomfortable if anything, and of course, he knows how to swat at gnats.

15. When has Hillary ever done the smart thing this campaign?

I fully expect another embarrassing attempt by Hillary, trying to "slam" Obama and falling on her face.

11. Hard to say-debates are her thing--and Barack can't be too assertive...

The victimhood role that she may try to take on for the umpteenth time--and all that...

12. She actually seems to have changed her tune today

Edited on Wed Apr-16-08 05:41 PM by Arrowhead2k1

right on time for the Debate as usual. She doesn't have the balls, so to speak, to really attack Obama to his face. Maybe it's because she knows Obama would just turn it around and make her look like the shrill fool that she is.

14. She's probably going to do fine

Edited on Wed Apr-16-08 05:42 PM by bigwillq

She usually does well in debates. I will watch out for the "Hope Hillary Bombs the debates" threads though, since I won't be able to watch it live.

17. I think she's going to jump on something Obama says, hoping to run with it and score points.

I think there's a pretty good chance that if she does this and tries to make it a "meme" of the debate, Obama's going to call her on it, artfully, and she's going to either A) Stammer/laugh/invoke angels on the head of a pin or B) deer-in-the-headlights.

  Ya ever see those news photographs where someone's getting ready to throw a molotov-coctail but the whole damned bottle is on fire and moments away from exploding in their hands?

  I kind of see Hillary having one of those moments.

  A molotov-mishap.

20. She'll try some lame scripted sound bites like the Xerox

one that she expects to get applause on but they will fall flat.

21. It's been over for weeks. Her attacks on him are back-firing in a big way.

24. I think every day since February 1st has been make or break for Hillary.

It's a sign her campaign is on life support and we are waiting for Democratic leaders to pull the plug.
