4. AND...Will Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Bill Richardson and Dennis Kucinich

get any speaking time? :shrug:

The MSM is already billing this as an Obama/Clinton debate (I'll throw John Edwards in there since he rounds out The Big Three).

I hope Dodd keeps a debate timer again so we can see.

Also, who will do the 'attacking'? Will it actually be another candidate, or will Russert attempt to 'bait' people into attacking eachother?

:hi:

[MadBadger]

6. Sounds to me like Obama will do the attacking.

That appears to be the story of the day.

[gateley]

7. Edwards has been saying some pointed things about Clinton's associates

lately - so my guess is he'll expand that approach tonight.

[Debi]

10. Will he come out and attack or will he do it b/c Russert/Williams egged him on?

:shrug:

[gateley]

15. He didn't need Russert egg him on when he was saying those things, so I'm thinking

he'll take this opportunity to get it out there for the masses to hear.

Is this the last debate before Iowa?

Tempus fugit!

[Debi]

16. Looks like two more...

[Debi]

9. Will he do it directly or will it be the result of a baited question

by the moderator?

[MadBadger]

11. All Im hearing about on MSNBC, is that he is going to go on the assault himself.

So if he doesnt, his campaign could be over tonight. So I expect him to go after her pretty well.

[Debi]

12. Okay, here's the rub..

is his campaign saying he'll attack or his the HC campaign and the MSM saying he'll attack? I'm not trying to be painful, but is Obama being set up?

[MadBadger]

13. A New York Times article talks about what Obama's campaign has said he will do

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/28/us/politics/28obama.html


"Senator Barack Obama said he would start confronting Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton more directly and forcefully, saying Friday that she had not been candid in describing her views on critical policy issues, as he tries to address mounting alarm among supporters that his lack of assertiveness so far has allowed her to dominate the presidential race.

Mr. Obama’s vow to go on the offensive comes just over two months before the first votes are cast for the Democratic nomination, and after a long period in which his aides, donors and other supporters have battled — and in some cases shared — the perception that he has not exhibited the aggressiveness demanded by presidential politics.

In an interview on Friday that was initiated by his campaign to signal the change of course, Mr. Obama said “now is the time” for him to distinguish himself from Mrs. Clinton. While he said that he was not out to “kneecap the front-runner, because I don’t think that’s what the country is looking for,” he said she was deliberately obscuring her positions for political gain and was less likely than he was to win back the White House for Democrats.

Asked in the interview on Friday if Mrs. Clinton had been fully truthful with voters about what she would do as president, Mr. Obama replied, “No.”

14. Thank you!
