Obama is as cool as they come--unflappable. McCain is known for his temper. It would be sweet to see him lose it during a nationally televised debate. What could Obama say to McCain to provoke him?

1. Remaining cool and unflappable, but with a hint of condescension, should do it.

3. That's exactly it...McCain and men like him love to get under
their foes skin and they feed off of the angst and fear. Obama is not that guy and the more Obama points out facts and points out to McCains flip-flops....McCain will lose his temper and no matter how much the media trys to hide it...the world will know exactly who McCain is.

2. It will be something to do with General Petraeus....
When I saw Obama and the general together today I thought that just had to burn McCain to the core - much like seeing your significant other take an interest in your worst enemy.

5. Few things brought me as much pleasure as when Kerry had GWB sputtering and stammering
in their first debate. It was obvious that the intellectual Kerry was really getting under the pinhead Bush's skin.

6. Mention his eliteness.
The pukes have spent so much time & energy to inoculate McCain from being elite.

It would blow back X2

7. Show up?
Know what he's talking about. Speak in sentences rather than talking points. Not drool.

The list is long.

8. It shouldn't be hard. McCain is a spoiled, over-privileged asshole
It shouldn't be hard at all and I look forward to seeing McCain unravel during the debates.

9. Nothing really, I have a feeling it takes very little to set off McCain

10. Obama should just sprinkle the word 'crash' around in the debate.
I respect Senator McCain and his crashingly good service record...
etc
