Re: 10/7 Presidential Debate
The format of this one is said to favour McCain. Guessing the more intimate setting make him think he's amongst "his friiiiends"

Apparently he's going to go in all guns-a-blazin though. Republican supporters are already talking about tonight as the game changer, that he's got "a Reagan moment" planned. (There's probably a bad taste joke in that somewhere) And he'll attempt to clear up the Keating stuff once and for all.

Will be interesting to watch his body language and how he has to force himself to look at Obama when he really doesn't want to, but his handlers told him to.

From Obama's point of view, his strength is normally answering questions directly and not skirting around the issue, and I'm hoping this might go down better than McCain's more emotive approach.
