Bookmark this prediction: By the third debate, McCain will lose it

[burythehatchet]

and he will lose it in an epic fashion. To use a tacky analogy, this is a remake of A Few Good Men with Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson. The final debate will replicate the final courtroom scene when Cruise nails Nicholson and gets him to admit fragging a marine. "you want me on that wall...you need me on that wall yadda...yadda".

Barack will learn so much from watching McCainus' videtaped reactions to certain comments. He will work him in the second debate and by the third McLumpy will bubble over and bust a vein in his neck.

1. I'll be surprised if he doesn't lose it in the second debate...

he seemed pretty close to critical mass tonight

5. It was too bad that Lehrer

didn't let it go when Obama donkey punched McCrap with that Spain bomb. I thought that was gonna be it right there, but then Lehrer interrupted with a new question.

2. Thats what I've been saying.

Obama can use his temper to destroy him.

3. McCain

I have no idea of when it will happen, but after tonights debate, I am more certain then ever that sooner or later he will blow. Unless there is some unforeseen event to change the dynamic, all Obama has to do is keep on improving, which is his style. Reminds me of the old Steelers, by the forth quarter the other team was so beat down by a steady relentless pressure, there was no fight in them.

4. Probably. There's a reason he refused to look at Obama.

And now he will certainly be forced to.

6. Especially since McCain's handlers will be telling him over and over

"you HAVE TO look him directly in the eye. They gave Obama the first debate because you would not look at him."

Having to look directly at Obama may make him blow up in the second debate.

7. I really hate to say this

I usually hate this kind of wild conjecture but I would not be surprised if we see only one more debate - no VP debate just one more presidential debate. I think the McCain campaign will cut its losses and run. The possibility of up-side vs blow-back just isn't there for them.
