“If the people of this country are dumb enough to elect Obama......”
They are. And his popularity has become cult-like, not to mention that the media will be in his camp big-time and twist lots of messages in his direction.
So far Obama has benefited from having appeared in debates with the strange world of democratic politicians. His stump speech may be great...but he actually looked immature next to Hillary. His only benefit...was that he was next to Hillary. The debates with McCain should be visually interesting, because we are used to Presidents who look mature. Even Kennedy looked older than Obama...who could pass for someone in his mid thirties.
