The expectations game

With the Presidential debate tonight, each camp is trying hard to lower expectations. The President’s camp is praising Romney as a skilled debater, while the President has not had to debate for several years, so is likely to be rusty. The Romney camp retorts that the President is known to be a gifted orator, and that Romney has been working hard just to utter intelligible grunts during debate prep.

A debate drinking game

We’re approaching the start of the debate, so let’s review the rules.

If the President says “Make no mistake,” drink a shot.

Just a regular guy…

I just heard a PARTICULARLY stupid promo on the radio: “Who won the debates? The rich guy or the regular guy?”

Yeah, because the guy who was born in Hawaii, grew up in Indonesia, graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, past State Senator and U.S. Senator before he got his current job, is just a regular guy. Right. Guys like that are a dime a dozen on my block. Just another regular guy.
