Townhall style debates eliminate teleprompters. The candidates would have to think on their feet. Like a president needs to be able to think.
Barry can’t work without a net.
Not presidential, one bit.

What no script, teleprompter, or earphones allowed?
I guess McCain realized...hey I’m 70 something, this is my last shot, so just go for it and don’t worry about it.
I like it thus far.
I just hope they are as blunt about comparing Obama’s plans to Eurostyled Socialism and bringing up all his far left associations.

Obama needs to stop sellin’ wolf tickets like some two bit hood from Chicago. Last week he said, anytime, anyplace, anywhere. His yellow is starting to show.
