My opinion is that the first line McCain must make against Obama is that his naivete has already led to people's deaths and making him the President only increases the likelihood of that repeating (I say 'first' because it's obvious McCain needs to do a lot tonight).
As I previously noted, yesterday the Washington Times ran an article about the massacre of 50 church-goers in Kenya by supporters of prime minister Odinga. It seems that, with his support in Kenya waning, PM Odinga received a huge boost when he toured the Kenya countryside with Sen. Barack Obama, who made several speeches on the socialist prime minister's behalf.
While Obama is not responsible for those parishioner's deaths, I think that this story viscerally illustrates the danger that exists when a naive politician blindly lends credibility foreign leaders.
What is the danger when the President of the United States decides to unilaterally meet with every foreign leader without precondition? Barack Obama was only a Senator when he supported Odinga and an entire church was massacred then.

I hope Obama goes on the offensive and just not try to weather the jabs that McCain is going to throw. Obama should come out directing questions to McCain (directly) regardless if that is the format. Whoever does this earliest will win.
I agree. The worst thing Obama can do tonight is come in confident and play defense all night. Play not to lose makes you lose. He should go for the knockout. However, my guess is that playing it safe is exactly what Obama will try to do (winning politicians are not exactly risk-loving); his inner feisty-ness may let him win despite of himself though.
