OSA<\/a> board meeting, I’ll give you my predictions.<\/p>\nThe moderators will be asking the most banal questions, with way too much meta. (…How does your campaign respond to ….)<\/p>\n
Also the moderators all have at least one completely irrelevant Bernard Shaw type question to spring on one of the participants.<\/p>\n
As to the rest of the press:<\/p>\n
James Webb will be lauded for his performance, because pundits love “Democrats” who were former Reagan cabinet members who resign because the Gipper was insufficiently bellicose.<\/p>\n
Also, since Webb will go big on the non-existent “crisis” in “entitlements”, so they will declare him brave.<\/p>\n
Unless there is an extended discussion about marijuana, Chaffee will be largely ignored.<\/p>\n
O’Malley will be depicted as running for Vice President, and he will be criticized for “running to the left”. <\/p>\n
Additionally, the former Maryland governor’s will be declared effectively dead within a half hour of the debate ending.<\/p>\n
Hillary Clinton will be portrayed as calculating and distant, and any attempt for her to humanize herself will be portrayed as as just another ploy.<\/p>\n
Bernie Sanders will be treated as a combination of dinosaur and clown with his liberal views widely mocked.<\/p>\n
What I want to see is Joe Biden streaking across the stage …. dressed as a Victoria’s Secret model …. Who is dressed as an angel.<\/p>\n
But I am evil that way.<\/p>\n
