One can argue that he got clobbered during those debates but recovered by getting back to the scripted message on the campaign trail.

If McCain's advisors have any sense at all they need to keep Obama off balance, get him in situations where he isn't comfortable and don't let him fall back to the memorized rhetoric. If not, Obama wins this thing in a rout.
Yes, it will be interesting to see what they come up with.

I thought Obama was pretty pathetic early on but got better as time went on and held his own in the one on one...there was that one debate where they hit him with some bullshit but overall...he seemed to do ok.

No way are we going to see a full on Lincoln/Douglas style debate imo...our tv world wouldn't facilitate such but we might see kind of an extended style townhall.

I think Obama has been "clobbered" with enough talking points that he will be prepared to make a showing no matter what they try and throw at him...on the other hand, no doubt he will be slinging some shit back...stock up on the popcorn...
