He (Obama) now has to turn on the wit and charm...

Interesting comment, since Obama is an overly serious person with zero sense of humor. In this race McCain is the candidate with a sense of humor.

Also, contrary to other posters, I believe Obama is the one with the anger problem. Obama is very thin skinned and reacts negatively to humor and satire at his expense. He is easily thrown off balance.

“Obama is a know-nothing dolt, not analytical and certainly not in the professor category.”

I don’t know if I’d go that far in my description, but he certainly has NOT been impressive to me even when he uses a teleprompter. He is obviously not quick on his feet, hasn’t much of a sense of humor and a lot of his lack of specificity has been covered over with the claim of “nuance.”

as long as McCain does not smile at the camera like Mr. Roper after a comment he will do fine.

Now don’t you think Obama already has the questions and is now putting his answers together. He will have to rely on his memory. If he looses his place and tries to freee lance he will begin with his mantra of CHANGE .....uh...ehh...an,an,an....but,listen here..uh...ummm...

You never see an analysis on “What the Republicans need to do to win back the House/Senate” either.

Not to worry the Biden/Palin debate will look like the bridge of death scene in the Monte Python movie “In Search of the Holy Grail”. Biden will be asked “What is your name? What is your favrite color?” In fact I think Obama will receive very similar challenging questions.

Ross was supposed to mop the floor with big Al and of course that did not happen.

Same thing happened in the 1996 VP debate. Kemp was supposed to win ... but then couldn't decide which direction he wanted to go in and ended up going in EVERY direction, looking pretty hyperactive while doing so.

JMHO-the media will NEVER ask the Messiah,but Mccain must find a way to get him to defend his opposition to BAIPA.My daughter planned to vote for “O” until I explained it to her.This would cost him a lot of votes if people only realized he is for infanticide.

True, but you gotta remember, they won’t be there to coach him when Mac rips off a zinger he didn’t expect. Coaching only can go so far my friend. JM has experience, you can have book learning all you want, experience really counts. BO ain’t that smart, it’s already starting to be pretty apparent. Even a parrott can sound intelligent, but if the words don’t originate from him brain, well, it just is what it is.
