The Pre-Debate Spin

The Obama camp "expectations memo" has come out:
On the big issues, this debate is one last chance for John McCain to do what he has failed to do throughout this entire campaign:  explain to the American people how his economic policies would be any different at all than the failed Bush agenda he has supported every step of the way.  It's his last chance to somehow convince the American people that his erratic response to this economic crisis doesn't disqualify him from being President.

[ ... ]

And while McCain has promised to attack Obama in the debate, every minute that he ignores the economy and the middle class is not just a minute wasted but time spent on attacks that even some of those closest to him have said don't work.
As usual, these guys are real pros: concise and calm with enviable message discipline.
