Just remember, this is a must-win for McCain.

[Drunken Irishman]

All the pressure is on him. He loses this debate and it's almost certainly over. Obama has the lead, so it's unlikely he can lose the election tonight.

McCain, though, can.

Keep that in mind, regardless of how the media spins it.

1. McPalin

will be shitting in his pants. He doesn't handle pressure well. As a matter of fact, he doesn't handle ANYTHING well.

2. And McSame has only himself to blame for the pressure. After all his

drama-queening to get in on the bail-out, and puff his own importance, he realized he really screwed up: the entire country saw him as a self-important blow-hard who was chickening out of the debate. So he has to return to the debate, without having had, presumably, a lot of rehearsal time. And knowing he's one down to Obama, as he revealed his nervousness about debating Obama. And at some point this evening, he may well have to answer just what he contributed to the bail-out meetings that was so crucial.

3. But McCain already won!
