Debate Prep
By Terrence Samuel
The first presidential debate scheduled for the University of Mississippi tonight is being held hostage be John McCain’s deep concern for the economy, but plans remain in place for the showdown, which would give Americans the first opportunity for a side-by-side comparison of the two White House hopefuls. A clear win by either side will change the dynamics of the last five weeks of the campaign. Here are ten things each man can do to win.

Tips for Obama 

1.  Frame the debate around a new version of the old question: “Is the country better off now than it was eight years ago?”

2.  Be the smartest guy in the room, but don’t act like the smartest guy in the room.

3.  Wear a lei to remind viewers that you’re an American.

4.  Never back away from the fact that Iraq was a bad idea for the United States.

5.  Promise government jobs to the five Wall Street refugees who don’t already work for Uncle Sam.

6.  Avoid all references to lipsticks, pigs, pitbulls and Palins.

Palin Meets First Foreign Leaders

Vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin met with a series of world leaders as a sort of crash course on foreign policy. What do you think?

Johnny Moreland,

“Wow, she’s a lot better at meeting people than I expected.”

Kevin Freamon,
Tour Guide
“All she needs to do is make a simple mnemonic device for remembering each country, its form of government, its gross domestic product, its military history, its relationship to the United States, and what it’s best known for.”

Karla Greggs,
Rock Climbing Teacher
“This should allay voters’ concerns about electing a candidate with no experience being photographed with foreign leaders.”
