What's up with MSNBC saying Obama is "rehearsing" for his debate while in NC

[dascientist]

"rehearse"???? WTF?

1. They all rehearse. No big deal.

Even shit for brains mccain rehearses. :eyes:

4. yep: see link

To the extent the OP is complaining about the use of the word "rehearses" rather than "prepares", the same terminology has been used for both candidates.

2. They formulate ideas for answers to possible

questions that may be asked. They also have a "devil's advocate" to rebutt their ideas so they can fine tune the answers. This debate will be about the economy.

3. They ALL rehearse and review all the advice from their team.

It's important to do so because things change daily, and especially now, they seem to be changing by the hour!

5. Well, at least he is "rehearsing"

NOT "cramming" or being "tutored"

6. to me PREPARING for a debate is not "rehearsing"

That's like saying basketball practice is a "rehearsal" where you are expected to choreograph an ENTIRE GAME down to the play and time epochs of the game.
