Advice to Barry in debates:

Fred--Try to appear as C-in-C and appeal to military.
Mara--Crisp, strong and less professional--no ruminating (they are working on that).
Bill--Cite generals and Repubs, like Powell, agreeing with him.
Juan--Tie McCain to Bush's policy as a terrible mistake. (Darn, no Brit to slap Juan!)

Chris asks if it's just okay for Barry to hold his own:

Fred--It's not enough just to be reassuring.
Mara--Well, foreign policy has taken a back seat to the economy (she hopes).
Bill--McCain has to beat Barry.
Juan--Barry can't dump on McCain too hard or he comes off as an angry black guy.

Let's hope McCain mentions this...

Foreign Affair
Is Barack Obama trying to stall the success of the surge in Iraq?

[Thebaddog]

My bet is that both candidates will stray from foreign policy quickly to debate the economic problems. McCain should say that his rant was for the working man who was being used by the Wall street sharks. He should also try to pin Obama down on what plan he has to lead the economy as president and what his past positions were or were not. I wont give any advice to Obama.
