McCain's gonna try to show EMPATHY tonight...
Kelly O'Donnell, who's covering him, just said that. He's going to try to show a sense of "warmth and sensibility" unlike the last debate. I guess the grandfatherly McCain will show up tonight. I hope Obama will get under his skin again!

17. I think he'll fail, too. I bet that he was practicing between naps all weekend how to pretend
to care. O'Donnell even said he's going to LOOK at Obama tonight and LISTEN to him. :rofl: I hope he doesn't like what he sees and hears and blows a gasket!

3. His only warmth is his body temperature
I hope Barack goads him into having a meltdown on live TV.

9. LOL! BombBomb's smile is like a crocodile ...
Kind of reminds me of Darth Cheney. Throw in that
twisted little laugh of his and BombBomb doesn't
come across as your grandfather, but like an old
PERVE.

4. that will be hard to pull off--he is a rager, no ability to focus
and stay calm without eventually getting snarky and mean.

25. Exactly. And then Obama could just smile as the audience laughs at his poor attempt to look
like he even knows what it's LIKE to be poor!

He can smile all he wants but his eyes are absolutely
steely and unfeeling.

13. Sarcastic swipes peppered with praise.
He thinks he's being clever when he does shit like that, but it reminds voters of their ex-spouse.

20. And Brokaw will give him every chance to

McCain's skin.

24. Empathy for whom?
His fellow millionaires? Golden parachute CEOs? Heiresses? Klan members? Secessionists? Bush and Cheney, because they're so misunderstood?

27. Exactly. He has to know how the regular people feel to be able to show empathy!
It will come off phony if he tries it.

29. He's just spent the last two days priming himself at hate fests,
so just like that he's going to be something he's never been? They are delusional.

Al Gore did-appearing to change each time instead of keeping it real.

And nobody commented on it. People see through his phony "kindness."

47. "You can't afford higher taxes in these tough economic times
my friends" "My friends, raising taxes causes jobs to go overseas" "I'll keep taxes for low for all".

"My friends, We'll open up new markets. I want to see your products and services available all over the world, all over the world".

"Healthcare, I can fix that, we don't want some bureaucrat making medical choices"

"Wars...I know how to win wars my friends and bring home our troops in victory"

Queue the lame shining city on the hill Raygun rehash and you have McSame.
