I don't doubt that for a minute...the poor guy has no doubt gone through hell...however, and I was thinking about this contrast earlier today and considered starting a thread but got busy with other things...his smile reminds me of Dubya's smirk...as the little lady tells me...he sounds like Bush too.
The idea of the townhall debates that McCain wants to have is going to be a detriment to him, I believe, and here's why...
First off, to Obama's discredit, he is not as fast on his feet as he could be but when he does know where he's heading with a talking point he is smooth...McCain, on the other hand cannot even read a teleprompter without stumbling...placing them side by side is going to excentuate these differences...granted, being President is not all about public speaking but I think it is an asset.
Another thing that I think is going to work in Obama's favor is that McCain does try and do the same thing that many on here do...that is, misrepresent what Obama has to say...it's one thing to have a soundbite/advertising exchange...I just think Obama will clarify his position in a face to face exchange...if he can't do that then he doesn't deserve to be Prez.
I think Obama has also bent the truth about some of the things McCain has had to say so turnabout is fair play.
I'm just glad we finally got beyond the Clintonian bullshit and now we can get down to the real race.
