Final Presidential Debate!!!
Third presidential debate
Wednesday, October 15
Hofstra University, Hempstead, N.Y.
Bob Schieffer
CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent, and Host, Face the Nation


I understand they will be seated at a table for this one along with the moderator. I would rather see Obama standing or walking next to the ghost because he looks so good doing it but anyhoo...any comments on the type of moderator Schieffer will be? Will McCain step up to the plate for his base and ask about Ayers? Will McCain getting his ass kicked be the final straw for his campaign?

Your Thoughts?

1. Scheiffer is not exactly an electric kind of guy. His brother is a business

partner with the Bushes. I do not think he will try to make this any more interesting that the previous debates. I would be surprised if he is any better than Brokaw was at remaining in control.

4. In a way, I hope McCain brings up Ayers
so that Obama can once and for all shut him up in front of the millions who will be watching.

5. I think he's walking McCain right into it...ask about Ayers, Rezko,
and Acorn and he's going to make him look like a dumb ass old out of touch bitter fart!

7. McCain is going to go nuts if he has to sit at a table for the entire debate.
In the last one he was pacing all around while Obama was answering a question.

9. I'll rather they stand too
sitting will gives them the sense of togetherness, in that case
i'm against it.

10. I like them standing too...but it's going to be hard for McCain to
have to sit so close to Barack...he's going to be grimacing and tweeking...this will be rough for him.
