I have not seen McCain in a townstyle meeting, but I attended a rally for Obama at an open forum townhall style meeeting. You are underestimating him to assume Obama is only better at what you refer to as "canned" speeches. He was exceptional on the townhall venue I attended and maybe even more so then his recent historic speeches. He challenges all of us not to think about politics as we are used to, but a new kind of politics, a politics that allows us to forget about dividing ourselves by party affiliation, and focus more about the common goals we all want to strive for as a nation.
He is solid on his postions, can take questions and articulate his position precisely with ad lib questions, and he demonstrates leadership and compassion. He inspires the next generation to work for America. I am not knocking McCain, but I seriously doubt he could put a chink in Obama's armor. I do not think Obama is wearing a superficial coat of armor that leaves him vulnerable to "chinking".
