rovian debating advice

Karl Rove argues that the winner of the first debate is set up as the frontrunner, and offers advice to both McCain and Bambi about how to conduct themselves.

Good news: It’s on Foreign Policy, which is McCain’s ground. No teleprompters. No media spinning.

Bad news: Bambi’s been ‘resting’ (we used to call it ‘whoring for money’, but no matter), and practicing his killer lines. McCain’s been doing some actual work on the Wall Street Bulti-Billion Bad Business Bailout Bonanza® and probably hasn’t had much time to practice zingers of his own.

And a badly-delivered zinger is worse than no zinger at all.

In criticizing President Bush’s foreign policy, Mr. Obama must be careful not to sound like he’s running down America. Breaking with someone in his party on a vital issue would show leadership and independence.

Running down Goddam Amerikkka? Obambi? Perish the thought. And he’s broken with his party on many issues, such as, uh, talking down to black folks (which can get you your nuts cut out, if you upset the wrong race-baiter), and telling bad teachers that they really ought to, but nevertheless won’t, be fired.

I’m looking forward to it in ways I can barely describe. Friday night is the beginning of the end of teh Obamateurâ„¢ and his tissue-thin claims to being taken seriously at this level. It’s also an opportunity to wrap Joe Biden’s moronic burblings of the last few days around his neck, and watch him flail.

He will likely, if you can pardon the mangled cliche, collapse under his own weightlessness.

    Wait, there’s gonna still be a debate? I thought McCain cut and ran. He’ll be curled up in a fetal position watching Obama talk about issues on all the networks. The race is over, McCain choked.

    I hope you’re 100% right, Martin!
    The McPalin voters need every vote they
    can get just to offset the vote fraud the
    dumbocraps have been doing through Acorn & other leftist ‘community organizers’!
    Typical Cook county corrupt politics!

    I’d be more cautious in predictions about this debate. . . assuming the debate even happens.
